The voice of a thousand (actually many more) movie trailers, the instantly recognisable Redd Pepper has been using his uniquely deep, authoritative voice since 1995 to get you to watch any number of cinematic blockbusters. He's also been in video games, TV shows and has appeared in a couple of films himself. Most notably Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, in which he played all manner of demons and ghouls. He's currently the voice of the official opening and pre-match hype for #fifaclubworldcup2025. So sit back and listen to his life story, how he was discovered when he was a London Underground train driver, and he even did the end credits for me in a way I could only have dreamt of a few weeks ago!

In this episode I get to have a chat with the man behind the mask of Davros, leader of the Daleks in Dr Who since 1984, and since 1974 the voice of Mike Tucker in The Archers on Radio 4. He talks about his long and, by his own admission, incredibly fortuitous career which goes back to his days in a theatre group touring schools through the glory days of Dr Who and beyond. A modest and charming actor, who has made his name playing possibly the most evil character in television Sci-Fi, and also a myriad of characters in radio drama. Voice acting has always been his favourite aspect of his work, so he was only too happy to talk to me about it.

In this edition I have a fantastic and entertaining chat with the multi talented Emma Clarke, whose voice graces a large portion of the London Underground Network, and who currently hosts Radio 3's Saturday Morning Breakfast show. She has been a voice artist for thirty years, but is also a musician and composer, and is studying for her PhD. Once I'd stopped feeling intimidated, we talked about her career and the future of voice work.
