(okay, and also my biz, LinkedIn 😉)
Sunday marked 5 years of married life with my wonderful wife, Sophie.
We marked the occasion by watching PJ Harvey perform at Gunnersbury Park, which was phenomenal.
To say Sophie has had a huge impact on my life would be an understatement.
The unconditional love.
The unconditional support.
The unconditional encouragement.
But when it comes to voice over, my business simply wouldn't exist without her.
I'd done one voice job in 8 years of acting when we met...
Sophie was the one who encouraged me to do my first VO courses.
Sophie was the one who said yes to turning the bedroom into a studio.
And Sophie was the one paid the bills while I found my feet.
For a lot of us, the career we want simply isn't possible without the support of someone else. Which is why my biggest work goal isn't to do with the brands I work with but the life and love I can offer in return.
It's not a new thing.
But it still needs to be said.
Here's to those partners who change our lives (and work) profoundly.
