In this episode, I share a couple of Instagram comments that really got me thinking about character, caricature and performance...
Then, in the Secret Podcast, I go deeper into character creation and vocal performance.
When does a character become a caricature? Can a performance be affectionate to one listener and condescending to another? And how much control does a performer really have over where a voice lands?
It turns out Instagram has got me thinking about some of the same questions I’m exploring in my PhD - just with more reels.

What going viral actually feels like

Well. This is weird.
A few days ago, an interview I recorded with Pubity went viral. At the time of recording this episode, it’s been watched more than 7.6 million times.
Which is a sentence I wasn’t expecting to say.
In this episode, I talk about what it actually feels like to go viral: watching the numbers climb, reading thousands of comments from complete strangers, suddenly acquiring a lot of new followers - and trying to work out what on earth to do with all that unexpected attention.
And in The Secret Podcast for paid subscribers, I also talk about the opportunities that have come from it (and what I've turned down), the slightly surreal experience of becoming very visible very quickly, and what I’m learning about the internet, audiences and why some things just…take off.
If you’re one of the people who found me through the Pubity interview: hello! It’s lovely to have you here.

I don't know where to put my face

I Don’t Know Where to Put My Face
What happens when a VOICE person has to become a FACE person?
I’m very comfortable behind a microphone, in a cupboard. But put a camera in front of me and I become acutely aware that I have a face. That people can SEE.
In this episode, I’m talking about a recent video interview and the surprisingly strange experience of being seen rather than simply heard.
Paid Subscribers get access to The Secret Podcast where I'm a bit looser, a bit franker... Subscribe to my Substack to hear it!
I talk about self-consciousness, appearance, the difference between performing behind a microphone and in front of a camera - and whether perhaps the trick is simply to stop worrying and get over yourself (ie myself...)
