Some wonderful things have happened over the last few months. We’d like to take a moment to share them with you as we head to the end of the year.
Peter Wicks has been nominated for Outstanding Video Game Character – Best Voiceover for his performance as Vizargo in Age of Darkness at the SOVAS Awards Gala! Kevin says it was a joy to direct...
I’m excited for what’s ahead in 2024! I don’t know about you, but 2023 was a rough year for me. I felt isolated, exhausted, frustrated, and tense. My internal narrative amplified these negative emotions. I felt like I was the only one struggling. But the more people I’ve spoken with, the more I realized this narrative was shared by a lot of creatives. Towards the end of 2023 I had a conversation that helped my...
An update for the end of March. Talking Sons of the Forest, a little on the book Building a Second Brain, and morning routines. I also talk about why I’ve gone on hiatus streaming on Twitch after four fulfilling years there.
This week’s update. Talking efforts and exertions, updates on a few skills, and a fantastic course recommendation for voice actors..

I’m looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship together, and good times ahead! It can feel lonely sometimes moving forward as a voice actor, and you’re always the most important...
So I’ve mentioned the upcoming Voice Up! workout over on the Facebook page, but not over here, which is remiss of me. So here goes. Next weekend I’ll be one small part of an amazing weekend of learning for video game voice over, and it just got a whole lot more awesome!
Doug Cockle, the gent whose performance was so iconic that Henry Cavill used it as a roadmap for finding the Witcher’s voice...
The very happiest of birthdays to awesome human being, dear friend and regular collaborator Gemma Laurelle, who celebrated her birthday recently.
Here’s to this year being far better than the last, even with her incredible ability to find the positive in situations like 2020.
Now, because Gemma’s the kind of person who gives you presents on her birthday, I’ve popped the trailer for Per Aspera below. You can find Gemma’s work in there alongside...
A great light has gone out in the voice acting world, folks. Brad Venable will be dearly missed.
It’s with great sadness that Brad’s passing is marked. I never had the pleasure of knowing him myself, but he was friend to so many friends of mine, and the incredible outpouring of love and sadness throughout the voice acting community speaks so highly of the kind of person he was.
If you’d like to remember...
A huge congratulations to Belinda Coomes for her work on the Ring of Pain soundtrack being listed in a closer listen’s best video game soundtracks of 2020!
Belinda does fantastic work, and has an incredible facility with horror. It’s no surprise and an absolute testament to her work ethic and hustle to see her name in the company of Austin Wintory, Darren Korb & Max LL. I’m super-lucky to be in the same...

This week’s update, celebrating the launch of Daily Boost and looking ahead to the end of 2020.
While I’m beavering away on Tavern Blackjack, I’ve taken a few hours out here and there to check out the new Bithell Games short, The Solitaire Conspiracy.
It’s a delightful puzzle game that adds some new mechanics and some fun narrative on top of classic Solitaire. Highly recommended, doesn’t overstay its welcome, and leaves you with some fun score challenge modes. It’s 20% off for the next week on Steam, so put your peepers...
It has felt more important recently to give over space to world events and their discussion, and keep fairly quiet on social media. But I’ve realised that not sharing what I’m excited about tilts the balance that much further towards doom and negativity. So I’ve got something to share I’m very excited about!
As well as providing premium voice acting services, Tavern of Voices is now producing its own content! You can pop...
Audiogame Jam 2020 kicks off tonight. For two weeks, teams will be working together remotely to build games centered around audio. If you’re jamming, I hope you have a blast!
I ran a workshop Monday night talking about using voice acting in games - talking about game design, writing, directing and performing. Sort of skimming across the surface of all of them, trying to give some useful things to consider for the jam. You...
Hey lovely people! I’ve been busy beavering away on Navy Boards so things have been a little quiet over here. Good things happening, but I’m struggling to find a balance when it comes to sharing things so that it doesn’t feel like shouting into an already thunderous din.
Here’s some recommendations that might help improve your COVID-19 world.
My amazing personal trainer Stuart McDonald is open to taking on more remote clients...

In bit of an unusual twist, you can catch me and regular Tavern of Voices collaborator Colin Smith on the LudoNarraCon stream looping on Steam right now.
It was exciting when Brian Holland of Sun’s Shadow Studios reached out about creating some content for the stream. Streaming all that Sunless Skies definitely helped prepare us for the event. Hopefully you enjoy the stream as much as we enjoyed recording it. It’s still early...
It’s been a little quiet here while responding to the new state of the world, but there’s a couple of things I wanted to share quickly, that might be of help to some.
Peter Castle (assistant advisor to Jacqui Lambie) has some projects in the works that should be employing people casually over the next few months. If you’d like to be kept in the loop, email peter.castle@aph.gov.au

The experience of working on Battle Chef Brigade was a privilege and a joy, and it was such a wonderful follow-up to meet the team in person at GDC 2018.

Holland’s The Last Panel On The Left, also featuring Lucy Morris of Starcolt, Andy Astruc, & Isaac Lee lending a clinical perspective.
