(BONUS Tape 28) In Conversation with VA, David Holmes
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Today I sit and chat with David Holmes. A voiceover artist who featured as the special guest narrator for Episode 23's "The Terrible Old Man" by H.P Lovecraft. We talk about a lot of things me and David. From his previous career as a theatre lighting designer, to his humble voiceover beginnings as a virtual Glaswegian Toad. From talking about his valuable 3 P's lesson for novice VO's, to his appreciation with vintage pencil sharpeners. There are even some pigeons in there somewhere. It even gets to a point where we're  just blurting out celebrity voice impressions that we either can or can't do, so needless to say, we laugh a lot during this conversation. But with nearly every laugh shared, David always has a lesson to share, so you can learn something as well as laugh at something. This is the longest conversation episode so far on the Cryo Pod Tapes and just might be the funniest one too.

If you enjoyed listening to this episode or the podcast as a whole, feel free to rate the show and share your thoughts. It means a lot. Thank you.
