It’s all the weather conditions today - bonkers.

Saw a great, profile, touring show yesterday & my lasting impression was, ‘the lead is going to damage their voice’. Either there was no voice pro engaged, not enough time given to support the actor with voice and text (demanding show too), or the actor had one & didn’t listen. #NoCoachCredited

It’s a two show theatre kind of day 🙌🏻

Stuffed with pancakes

Client’s all finished for the day, the sun is out as is the washing 🥳. I’m going to go for a walk and eat my body weight in pancakes late 💕

Payment systems send me round the bend, particularly University ones 🤪🤬.

Have a super nice month in May to fill with production work, if anybody needs a friendly, fun & fantastical voice and dialect coach! #GizAJob

Win of the week. I’ve hung the washing out twice 😁. There’s nothing more satisfying 😂

It’s one of those weeks where I could sleep and sleep and still be knackered! 🤪

Catch this beautiful show ! One more week @derbytheatre.bsky.social and then onto Hull Truck, Bolton Octagon and Theatre by the Lake

Just came to bed thinking it was 10pm and it’s actually 9pm. In my defense, I did have a disturbed nights sleep waiting for the 18yr old to get home from a night out, which was eventually 5:30am 😳

Feels wonderfully spring-like today. I’ve pulled out a chair on the patio and I’m taking in a bit of sunshine (whilst also trying to ignore the state of the garden)

That #Eastenders live episode was excellent.

It’s up and running. Did a bit of accent work in this beauty of a show. Other than Derby Theatre, you can catch it at the theatres listed below

Trying to juggle my personal and work life between now and July. I love the work coming in but the logistics is making my brain hurt.

Bloody hell!

I’m open for business 😃. Now one show is up and running I have space to accept some more voice/dialect work in #Theatre #TV #Film around other commitments. Totally available post 1st week July.

And we are open. Of Mice and Men @derbytheatre.bsky.social total dream team of a cast plus Jess Curtis Design Simeon Miller LX Ivan Stott Design @anitagilbert.bsky.social voice Haruka Kuroda Fight direction Esme Sears assistant director. And a full house and encore to boot! Preview 1 Tick!

This one has been an absolute joy to work on. Amazing story and text, brought to life by a great team of actors and creatives.

About to dive down another rabbit hole regarding breath, text, character & accents; not necessarily in that order 😳😅

This week is much calmer with work and I’m here for it. 😌

Looking at chairs and I show one I like to my husband. His response ‘it looks very low’. That’s the age we are at people; when getting out of it is more important than the aesthetic. He has a point though - chairs seem to be made very low these days 👵😂

January’s killing me.

I’m Saturday morning smug. Up early for my first reformer pilates class (loved it), load of washing in, downstairs cleaned (still the upstairs but you know, all in good time). Now sat with breakfast and a coffee. Have a lovely day folks 😊

Another day of wondering why I bought a house on top of a hill. It’s great in spring/summer though and avoids flooding.

My shiny new (well worn in 18months now) is not enjoying the cold damp weather. Neither are the rest of my arthritic joints 🙈🤣. #agingisntfunsometimes

Very much enjoying working on this 😁

Oof! finding the Monday motivation somewhat lacking.

Saturday nights filled with Gladiators and The Masked Singer. I love it!

Had a wonderful but long day and my brain is very tired. I get home and I ask if my son is going to do some revision. He says ‘yeah, if you help me’. I can’t say no, can I 🤪😂. #myworkisneverdone

Very pleased I am working from home the next two days and I don’t have to venture out in this 🥶.

Great first day of rehearsals with this lovely lot!

Trying my hardest to create a workshop, accent handouts and listen to accent samples, whilst a floor is being fitted downstairs. I should give up!

I find winter month exercise tricky. The pull of the duvet rather than the planned weights routine is huge. I know I’ll feel better for doing it but may have to fashion some sort of duvet-esq workout outfit.

Read through of, Of Mice & Men done. Loved hearing everybody bring the words to life. Accent work is go go go. Opens @derbytheatre.bsky.social

My area has now turned to an ice rink; I’m now anxious about falling over when I go out (since my new hip) and can’t wait to slide down the hill in the car later 🥶😂. Living at a place called Hilltop, in the winter months, has its disadvantages. Still the youngest is happy, as school closed

I know I live high up and snow can cause some issues, but honestly it’s chaos - lack of adequate road clearing, buses and trains suspended. A snowy walk and working from home is the bonus, I suppose. ❄️

Two sloppy goals conceded but will take the win with an unbelievable Windass goal, and 3 others that were excellent. #SWFC #WAWAW 🦉

It’s been a fun 2024, here’s to making more memories in 2025. Happy New Year 🥳.

The view from Chatsworth farm cafe. A glorious day.

Worked off the food with a stomp around The Longshaw Estate. Then ate more food at the cafe. 😊

It’s time to leave the house and go for a walk, before I become part-cheese, part-wine. Hope you all had a lovely festive break and here’s to a happy and healthy 2025.

A few more clients to fit in & a show to watch and work with on Saturday, then I’ll be taking a break until the New Year 😀. Looking forward to starting a couple of shows in the New Year as voice & accent coach. #Actors #Production #voicecoach #Accentcoach

What a goal from Bannan, and great to see Jamal Lowe net one. BP has gone through the roof mind 😃 #WAWAW 🦉

Last day of mock GCSEs. It was much easier taking them, than watching both children take them. I’ve asked if he’s got his calculator approximately 20 times between 7:55 and 8am, poor kid 😂
