Recent voice overs for TV Ad campaigns for Seat, Port Aventura and Polaris World

Just about to be released is a very funny commercial for the New Seat Altea XL (family car). It's too riské for terrestrial TV but the agency will use the as in Blue tooth and 'viral campaigns'. I put a miltary character voice on and enjoyed the recording. Last week I voiced the new UK TV campaigns for Port Aventura and I'm continuing to work with Polaris world as well.

Gisaku premiers at Sitges Film Festival

Tonight Filmax's new animated feature Gisaku opens at the Melia Auditorium, Sitges. The Film directed by Baltasar Pedrosa, produced by Julio Fernandez and with a soundtrack by Oscar Araujo is a leading contender for the European Animation award. I was lucky to have been involved in the English language version directed by Jim Phillips in which I dubbed one of the main characters Yohei. It was a pleasure to work with Baltasar and Jim and fingers crossed the feature does really well. Also at the festival are Jodie Foster to collect a lifetime achievement award, Quentin Tarantino promoting his new film 'Hostel', and Speilberg's 'Jaws' special effects team to pick up the Special effects prize.
