#voiceacting — Public Fediverse posts

Hello everyone,

A quick update on the current state of Blackwood Tales.

First of all: every submission I’ve received so far has been genuinely incredible. The amount of talent, emotion, and care people have brought into these auditions has honestly exceeded my expectations, and I want to thank everyone who has submitted for the project so far. Hearing these characters begin to live through your performances has been an amazing experience.

As of now, the following roles have officially been cast:

• Hannah C as Mira
• Alfa Ramirez as Surren
• Aria as Fin
• Lori Swayze as Solare

There are still many more roles waiting to be filled, and I’m extremely excited to see who steps into them.

On the writing side of things, Episode 4 is now nearing completion, and outlining for Episode 5 has already begun. The deeper Ortaiga and the others move into the world, the stranger — and more dangerous — things are becoming. Old powers are beginning to stir, loyalties are shifting, and the consequences of choices made long ago are finally beginning to surface.

In other words:
the fire is only getting started.

Thank you all again for the incredible work and support so far. And as always, if you know someone who might be interested in the project, feel free to send them our way.

YSTALYFERA: Voice heard in 150 million homes worldwide — Swansea Valley actor wins Best Male Performance at major UK voice acting awards

A voice actor from Ystalyfera has beaten off competition from across the UK to win one of the voice acting industry’s top honours — picking up Best Male Performance in Audio Drama at the One Voice Awards.

Phil Rowe’s win is particularly notable because the award-winning performance came from a production he wrote and produced entirely himself — reflecting years of work expanding his skills beyond performance into writing, directing, sound design and audio engineering.

It is the latest chapter in a remarkable run for the Swansea Valley performer. Last year’s One Voice Awards saw Rowe pick up three nominations in a single ceremony — for Best Male Performance in Animation, Best Male Performance in TV/Web Commercials and Male Voiceover Artist of the Year — following his win for Best Male Performance in TV/Web Commercials at the 2024 ceremony.

This year’s win in audio drama marks a new direction for Rowe, who has increasingly focused on cinematic audio storytelling alongside his commercial and gaming work. His voice has been heard in over 150 million homes worldwide across commercials, games and narration — but it is the audio drama medium that has captured his creative imagination in recent years.

“Audio drama is such a fascinating medium because everything rests on atmosphere, performance and sound,” said Rowe. “Without visuals, every detail matters. A pause, distant rain, the tone of a room, the pacing of a scene. You are building the entire world through sound and performance alone.”

One of his productions, YstalyFEAR, draws direct inspiration from his home village in the Swansea Valley — part of a wider interest in creating original Welsh-rooted audio storytelling. It is one of a growing number of original dramatic productions Rowe has developed alongside his commercial work.

The win at the One Voice Awards was not the only recognition for his work at this year’s ceremony. Fellow cast members Vicki-Jo Eva and Ben Wake also received nominations for their performances in another of his upcoming productions.

Rowe operates from a custom-built studio in Ystalyfera, which has become the base for both his performance work and his growing output as a writer, director and sound designer. He also produces cinematic gaming reels for other voice actors.

His career has not been without obstacles. Rowe battles pulmonary sarcoidosis — a condition that caused difficulties with breath control earlier in his career. Through dedicated training with voice coach Nicola Redman, he developed techniques to manage the condition, allowing his work to flourish across an ever-wider range of projects.

Previous credits include lending his voice to the Welsh-language video game Tales from the Mabinogion, which attracted attention from the BBC for its cultural significance.

Rowe said the recognition at this year’s ceremony meant a great deal after the considerable effort that goes into each production behind the scenes.

“It genuinely means a great deal to have the work recognised,” he said. “A huge amount of time goes into these productions behind the scenes, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has collaborated on them and supported the work.”

The One Voice Awards is one of the UK voice acting industry’s major annual events, celebrating performance across commercials, animation, audiobooks, gaming and audio drama.

Read for the discussion of using soulless theft-trash AI voices when there are literally thousands of fantastic actors who would have read for this for reasonable rates on an indie project. (It’s common for freelancers to flex based on project budget.)

Stay for the GLaDOS actor interview video.

As I’m testing voices for a reading, I’m worried that the voice is sounding too cartoony.

“Try one of the more serious parts,” Audra suggests.

“There I stood, next to the progenitor of our suffering.” And then I burst out laughing.

It was definitely too cartoony. 😆
