Radio Drama: A Voiceover Artist’s Dream!
It was a hugely proud moment for me to record my very first Radio Drama with the BBC earlier this year.
Before moving into voice work I trained as an Actor, graduating with a BA (Hons) from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
I always saw Audio Drama as the perfect genre for me to put both my acting and behind the mic voice skills into practice. And I’m happy to say the experience didn’t disappoint - it was a joy to record!
Kira by Viktor Nekrasov, dramatised for the first time in the UK by Ming Ho will be aired next Sunday 2nd April at 3pm on BBC Radio 4.
Tune in and listen out for me. I play three parts - Nadia, Lida and Maria.
1959. Stalin is dead; Soviet society has started to thaw; prisoners are being freed from the labour camps no-one talks about.
Ukrainian sculptor Kira lives a gilded life in Moscow, married to a respected Russian artist. She's just been given a huge commission that involves sculpting a rather attractive young electrician. Life is good.
But then her first husband returns after twenty years in the gulag - the only man she's ever loved...
It's time for Kira and her lovers to face both the past and the future.
Nekrasov's story takes us from the plush world of privileged Moscow to sultry rural Ukraine via post-WWII Kyiv in an examination of the corrosive legacy of repressed history.
