How small is your world?

Yesterday evening I worked collaboratively with 8 other people who were scattered across the world.

🇬🇧 Me in my studio in Sussex, UK
🇵🇹 Director/ Exec Producer in Portugal
🇳🇬 One actor in Nigeria
🇺🇸 Another in New York City
🇳🇱 Director and their Assistant in the Netherlands
🇦🇺 Audio Engineer from Australia (but may have been working from Europe, I forgot to ask)
🇺🇸 Couple more actors in Los Angeles, California

Pretty cool, huh?

We recorded two episodes of a new animation series - and there’ll be lots more sessions to come.

We couldn’t see each other because we were using an audio only recording platform.

But we could hear each other loud and clear with no delay. So everyone could bounce off each other’s performances and enjoy really working TOGETHER to lift the script off the page and bring our cartoon characters to life.

🪄 I’m so grateful for the magic of the internet (& hardwired fibre broadband!)✨

A few years ago working like this simply wouldn’t have been possible. Everyone had to be in the same city.

Has tech turned your business into a global enterprise?

Are my wings good enough?

That’s a question I regularly ask myself, whenever I set a new challenge.

You can’t just take a leap of faith when something big is looming in work or in life.

You have to prepare.

🦋Hydrate, eat well, get enough sleep and hopefully those wings will be strong enough to support you.

🦋When you do test the air and start to fly, don’t expect too much too soon.

🦋If things get too much, take a break. Find a safe place to rest.

🦋Get support of others who can help to carry you when you can’t fly any more. Rest some more, then go again.

🦋Look after your mental wellbeing too. Trust your gut. Believe in yourself. If you believe you can fly, you will.

Today I’m grateful for all those who’ve given me wings.

Any tips for a safe flight?

I had a little cry. And then I got on with it.

Last week I got my PADI Open Water Scuba Diving qualification.

You may remember Part 1 (in the pool in the UK) was a struggle. Well, Part 2 (in the sea in Spain) wasn’t a piece of cake either.

I had to complete four separate dives and pass a series of tests including:

🤿 removing and replacing my mask underwater 🫧 breathing from another diver’s air supply
🧭 navigating underwater with a compass
‼️ controlled emergency ascent, simulating being out of air
💨 blowing up my BCD (buoyancy control device) manually at the surface in deep water with a heavy air tank and weights trying to sink me!

It was A LOT.

On the first day I almost gave up when everyone else sank down to the seabed and frustratingly I just kept bobbing back up to the surface.

But eventually I managed it.

On the second day I was very tearful at the thought of trying to find the way forward underwater and doing all that scary emergency stuff.

But - after a few epic fails - I managed all that too.

And I am so proud of myself.

My instructor, Kegan, from
was unbelievably patient and calm, both underwater and on the surface.

After I passed, I admitted to him that, at times, I didn’t think I’d make it. He said “At times, neither did I” 😆

But he was very complimentary about my rate of air consumption. It means I’m relaxed and happy at the seabed. So that’s good. 😌

I *cannot wait* to go diving again without having to pass any tests, where I can just enjoy the peace and magic of the underwater world.
🐠🐙🐟

As adults - and business owners - we rarely try to learn a new and complex set of skills. We are used to knowing how to do stuff. We rarely make ourselves vulnerable to failure. This experience has taught me a lot more than swimming underwater.

Can you relate?

Made a friend on holiday last week.

Home now. Monkey is suspicious.

Best cup of tea I’ve had for ages.

12/07/2024

Blimey.

Jolted out of my post-holiday zen to the hectic intensity of the Develop VideoGames conference in Brighton plus the madness of the England footy…

The “P-Cap and Prosecco” mixer hosted by my agency, VoiceFox and Target 3D, was fabulous (complete with delicious branded cupcakes).

It was wonderful to reconnect with lots of voiceover colleagues and to meet professionals in different areas of the videogame industry.

But it was extremely busy and intense - and quite overwhelming, too, so I had to keep escaping to the beach to sit by the sea, breathe some fresh air and decompress.

But an early night helped. I’m heading home today and looking forward to following up with my new connections when I’m back in the studio.

Happy Friday, everyone. Have a great weekend.

Not everyone gets to take a vacation.

I’m grateful for mine.

Sunny Crete… where I did my first scuba dive! 🐠

Apparently a few things happened back home while I was underwater.

Normal service resumes this week... sort of.

I’m now off to a conference for a couple of days but answering emails and scheduling recordings for Friday.

Going anywhere nice this summer?

Here’s what I should have said…

It’s been over a week since the 2024 One Voice Conference and Awards. Since then I’ve been caught in a whirlwind of work, GCSE & A-Level support… and now I’ve got the dreaded covid and have lost my voice. Urgh.

So this post has taken a while.

I hope you like my crazy photos. I enjoyed this year’s punk theme. Can you tell?

I had prepared a speech for Awards Night. But when I won, I failed to say any of it.

So I’m saying it now.
(would’ve made a video but… covid)

First, thank you to Hugh Edwards
Peter, Harry Davies , Gareth, Emma, Gina and the whole team from
Gravy For The Brain
You put on the most impressive hybrid voiceover conference in the world. You raise the bar every year with your technical wizardry and value-led content, tailored to educate and inform voice actors of every level and ability.
This year you were working under such difficult circumstances, after the sudden death of your friend and colleague, and yet you carried on with the utmost professionalism. No-one would have known the turmoil you were all in. Thank you.

Next, thanks to the Award Judges. There were 5000 entries this year – I can’t imagine wading through that number of submissions. Thank you for giving up your time and generously sharing your expertise to keep standards high in our industry.

Thank you to Emily my agent at Voicefox and Christina, Mike and the team at lightandshadowtv for choosing me to narrate your Wild Argentina series.
Thanks too to Samantha Boffin - British Voice Actor and Director , my friend and worthy co-winner in the Documentary Narration category. I’m honoured to stand alongside you.

Lastly, I want to dedicate my award to the Mums of Voiceover.

I’ve won Awards before but this one meant SO MUCH, because it came after a particularly challenging year for me personally. Last year, I hardly worked because 100% of my time and focus was needed at home.
Family comes first, always.
I couldn’t say any of this on the stage. The words wouldn’t come.

So, to the Voiceover Mums, juggling work and kids and all the rest of all the things – I see you.
You are amazing. We are all winners.

**Trigger warning 🕷️**

There’s a spider in my office
It gave me quite the scare
It’s something I can’t now un-see
I wish it wasn’t there

There’s a spider in my office
It’s really rather large
Living under the speaker
It wants to be in charge

There’s a spider in my office
(At least it isn’t mice)
What would you do, Facebook?
I’d welcome your advice.

There’s a spider near my mouse mat
Inches from my arm
It’s watching as I edit
I’m not feeling very calm

It’s a flipping massive spider
I’m trying not to yelp
What to do, my Facebook crew?
I really need your help!

Don’t want to hurt the spider
But need to start my day
There’s only space for one of us
And Spidee cannot stay!

Can’t put it off much longer
My poem’s wearing thin.
Time for Operation Garden
Oh heck. How to begin? 🫣

There’s a spider in my office
I’ve invited her to stay
We’re going to share the studio
She won’t get in my way

I’ve got a new co-worker
It came as a surprise
But she’s quiet and considerate
And she’s eaten all the flies

There’s a spider in my office
Problem solved now hopefully
She’s my arachnid Studio Pet
Conflict avoider? Me?!? 🤷‍♀️

Punktastic night at One Voice Awards 2024.

Delighted to win the award for Best Documentary Narration jointly with the fabulous Samantha Boffin

Huge thanks to my agent Emily Dean
Voicefox
for the awesome opportunity to narrate the Wild Argentina series for Nat Geo Wild UK

I know it’s a cliche but I do actually have the best job in the world. So grateful to the voiceover community. There was so much love in the room. Huge congratulations to my friends and colleagues who won prizes last night.

Plus I got to dress up as a punk. 🧷 I think I may have unleashed something… 😂

Thank you team One Voice Conference
Gravy For The Brain Hugh Edwards for a very special event.

27/04/2024

Had the best day with my gorgeous friend

Bluebells, cake, walks and hugs - with a Tudor mansion and 650 year old oak tree in the background.

See your friends in person.
It’s so good for the soul.
Thank you, Ana.

squeaking noise woke me up at 2am.

I decided it was probably just a dream.
🛌 😴 💭

Then I heard it again.

🐭

😳

Monkey, (who is a 12 year old Fat Cat 🐈‍⬛ and has only ever caught 1 mouse and 1 worm), had brought me a night-time gift. The squeaking kind.

😟I should have intervened.
😢I might have been able to save it.
🫣But instead I went to bed in the spare room and left her to it.

No sign of the 🐭 this morning.

And I’m wondering if perhaps I manifested it….

🐁 You see, mice have been on my mind lately.
🐁 Ask Charlotte Foster.
🐁 Poor thing. At my request, she’s spent hours trawling her sound-effects library for appropriately enthusiastic Mouse Squeak noises for the Toolkit Takeaways (episode 11) of the Storytelling for Business Podcast.

You see, I love an acronym.
And the brand new Season 2 mnemonic is

💥 Brace for Impact! 💥

The goal of marketing is to make an impact.
To make your audience notice what you’re up to.
And remember it.

☄️Online.
☄️On your website.
☄️On radio and TV.

One of the best ways to be impactful in your marketing is to tell stories.

In fact, an “Impact Story” is a thing.
It’s where you share a story about the impact you had on your customer.
You talk about their journey - the problems they were having and how you helped them.
💥 Boom! 💥

There’s lots more information about Impact Stories (and quite a few other types of story as well) in the new season of the Storytelling for Business podcast.

And I have good news...

Every single episode will be released on Thursday 29th February. THIS Thursday!

☄️ Every.
☄️ Single.
☄️ Episode.

💥 How’s that for making an impact? 💥

What gives you wings?

😇 I’m no angel
🪶 DIY isn’t my forte
🥤 I’ve never tried Red Bull

But nevertheless, next week I’ll be squealing “We have liftoff!”

Because next Thursday is launch day for Season 2 of the Storytelling for Business podcast 🚀

I’m grateful to spend most days working on creative projects - narrating commercials, brand films, explainer videos, museum guides and documentaries.

I absolutely love all these jobs. However I perform the scripts on behalf of my clients; the words I say are not my own.

But my podcast is ALL mine*

✅ original concept
✅ entertaining guests
✅ insightful interviews
✅ smart scripting
✅ useful takeaways
✅ high production values
✅ and excellent acronyms

Exploring all aspects of Storytelling for Business with my guests has enabled me to spread my wings and let my own creativity SOAR.

If you’re interested in finding out how you can use storytelling to improve your marketing, I urge you to come fly with me!

💙 Season 1 is already available.
🦋 Season 2 will be released on 29th February.

Do you dress for success at work?

👔 Power suit?
🧦 Lucky socks?
👠 Killer heels?

Apparently some voiceover artists record in their pyjamas….
I prefer to dress ‘professionally’ for work.
I narrate lots of company brand videos and looking the part can help me to FEEL appropriately businessy and get into the role.

👡 Special shoes though? No point.
You see, I always take them off during recordings.

🦶 I stand at the microphone in socks or bare feet. It grounds my performance and improves my breath control.

🩴 And as I mostly work from home, I don’t often bother with fancy footwear. Even when I go out.

🤫 (Plus I’ve never been any good at walking in heels)

BUT
I love high heels.
How pretty they look.
The confidence boost they bring.
I own lots of pairs. But hardly ever wear them.
I wobble too much and after a couple of hours, they HURT 🔥

So I was very excited to try Maribel Cole’s

lessons in how to master the art of walking in high heels - with no pain and perfect posture!
♥️ It was fab!

The Blackbird is one of the UK’s most common song birds.🐦‍⬛

The RSPB says 10-15 million of them spend the winter here.

So I’m pretty certain that this chap, who I spotted on a chilly Self Care Walk yesterday, isn’t lonely.

I’ve got an app called Merlin on my phone that listens to birdsong and tells you what you’re hearing. 🎶 It’s fascinating. And a very good mindfulness exercise, too. Being outside and listening carefully to the birds.

How lucky I am that there are always Blackbirds singing nearby. I just need to remind myself to make time to tune in. 🐦‍⬛

I’m struggling a bit with January but birdsong and occasional sunny afternoons are helping me through it. Halfway there. Do you have any other tips for tackling the winter blues?

How’s your mic technique?

I don’t usually get behind the mic at weekends as I get plenty of microphone action in my voiceover studio Monday to Friday.

But on Saturday night I made an exception.
However, as you’ve probably guessed, this wasn’t voiceover work. This was long-overdue karaoke at
with my besties 🎶💟🎶

My karaoke non-negotiables are:
⏰ “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton
❄️ “Let it Go” by Elsa
🚀 “The Final Countdown” by Europe

Are you a karaoke officionado?
Whether the thought of karaoke fills you with excitement or horror, everyone needs a signature tune…

And (drum roll) mine is….
💫 “Reach for the Stars” by S-Club-7 !✨
What’s yours?

Want to start the New Year with a blast? Then check out Episode 9 of the Storytelling for Business podcast!

Episode 9 is the final Episode of Season 1 - the Highlights Reel!

I summarise the best advice from all my guests - and turn it into a handy Storytelling Toolkit just for you.
Have a listen - it will help you give your business marketing a blooming good boost for the New Year.

☄️ I do love an acronym.
☄️ And my memory is atrocious.
🔥 So I came up with WAAAMMM!

… as a way to remember the lessons we learned in Season 1. Here’s what it stands for:

W - Why
A - Authenticity
A - Audience
A - Aim
M - Meaningful
M - Memorable
M - Moving

We hear from all my brilliant guests in Episode 9. And together, they do an excellent job of explaining my acronym.

I loved putting it together and I hope you enjoy listening. It’s a great “taster” if you want to sample the series.

✨Meeting old friends
✨Celebrating wins
✨Looking ahead
✨Eating cake
✨Dancing

All the good stuff.

I met so many new people too. Please tag yourselves Guillaume, Dede and everyone who I chatted to and now can’t remember your names 😵‍💫
Lots of people were poorly as well - we missed you all.

Wishing all my voiceover friends and colleagues the BEST Christmas and a happy, healthy creative and fulfilling new year.

Look what I got for my birthday!

My fabulous brother, Chris Keward CK Creative Carpentry
is a bespoke carpenter and he made me a wooden soundwave.

I love it!

The backing board is just temporary and to hold it rigid. The clear perspex mount will fix straight to the studio wall.

But Studio Cat Monkey thinks it makes pretty good Floor Art too.

Next year my office is getting a makeover and I can’t wait to put this unique artwork in pride of place.

What are you changing at work next year?

Stop.
Close your eyes.
Listen.
And breathe.

At this time of year, it’s so easy to get swept up in all the noise.

This fantastic installation, which I enjoyed at the weekend, was a reminder to take a moment for myself.

To pause.

And allow the sounds of nature to gently wash over me.

The wooden funnels are “Forest Megaphones” which channel the surrounding sounds inwards - where you quietly wait to receive them.

Allow yourself a moment today.

**showing off post alert** 🔨 Katie, you nailed it! 💥 Oh wow, you smashed it. 😆 Hahaha, YES, that’s exactly the character ⌛️ I’ve waited two years to hear those words. Just some of the enthusiastic feedback from my 3 hour videogame recording session yesterday afternoon, at London Voice Over Studio The clients joined via Zoom from the US - it was a privilege to have the voice director, exec producer and script writer all on the call, giving me live feedback.

Hi! it’s me! (Or… er… is it?) I think it’s me. This commercial for LinkedIn Job Search is running right now on Spotify and a few other places. Can you spot me? I think it’s a great ad, because it’s all about how to stand out at interview when all the candidates seem exactly the same… Got any tips for NOT blending into the crowd? #radio #advertising #voiceover #LinkedIn #spotify #commercial #british #voice #talent #katieflamman #storytellermedia #fabulousfromthegroundup About me: • I’m Katie Flamman • Voiceover artist, Presenter, Podcast host and lots more • Links in bio to all the things you want to know!

Hahaha! Now I’ve got you! You’ll never escape!” Imagine you’re being held prisoner. Maybe the person speaking to you is a 🐟 fisherman 🧙‍♀️ witch 🕷 person with a glass & piece of cardboard... Whatever. You’re trapped. So you’re probably going to listen to them pretty carefully. Chances are you’ll pay close attention to what they say. You can’t do anything else, really. You’ve become their Captive Audience. You’ll probably end up doing what they tell you. Even if you don’t want to. And I expect you won’t like them very much. 💡 That’s Rhetoric. And it’s what most business marketing is like. Zero emotional connection between the message / call to action and the intended audience (who probably aren’t captive and therefore may not obey. They’re more likely to just scroll on past...) 🤔 💭 🎭 Enter stage left... 📚 Story Doctor James McCabe 🧪 His ancient storytelling formula will show you how to create an emotional connection with your audience - and set your marketing free!

**PART 2!** Ha! And here’s the grand finale!

I owe my success to a drunk, jilted lover. 🥴🍷😈 Introducing the delightful “Rachelle”, my character in the @meetcute Rom-Com “Imperfect Match” She’s not having a good few days. ❤️ First she signs up with an exclusive dating agency to find the man of her dreams. ❤️ It looks good when she matches with eligible bachelor, Dante. 💔 But he ditches her half way through their first date…. And ends up with the owner of the company… 😡 Boy oh boy. 🤬 Rachelle ain’t happy. I had so much fun recording these scenes last year. And they’ve earned me a nomination at this year’s @gravyforthebrain One Voice Awards! Wahoo! You can listen to the whole episode on the Meet Cute YouTube channel or look up the Meet Cute Podcast wherever you like to listen 🥰 Ever taken revenge after being dumped?

Have you ever been entranced by a story? So caught up in it that you keep thinking about it long after the tale is told? A story that captures your imagination can also become part of your life. That’s what Neil Reed discovered when he bought Pooh Corner, a little tearoom in the village where AA Milne wrote Winnie-the-Pooh. As visitors appeared, Neil quickly learned the power of the Pooh Bear stories. Everyone who walked through the door had come for a reason. Neil listened to his customers. And then decided to offer them something more. Find out the whole story in episode 15 of Storytelling for Business.

One of the best ways to share your story is through video. But don’t just take my word for it: According to Forbes: 🤳 social video content generates 1200% more shares than text and image combined. 🎬 viewers retain 95% of a message from video vs 10% from a piece of text. That GG quote (& those mind blowing stats) came to my attention last week thanks to @igloomediauk Nathan, from Igloo Media Ltd, led a workshop at Grow Digital West Sussex, demonstrating by example. 📺 He introduced himself in a fun impactful video. 📹Then shared practical tips and tricks for making videos. 📱And encouraged us to make mini videos with a partner. It was great! Thanks to my new buddy Mark Kendal for filming me. The audio isn’t great (cos no lapel mic) but you can still hear me over the hubbub. And as you can see, it didn’t go to plan first time… but - who cares?! Editing is a wonderful thing 🤣 Have you embraced video marketing? #GrowDigital #video #marketing #presenter #outtake #bloopers #growdigitalWS #voiceover #announcer #katieflamman #fabulousfromthegroundup

What does the word “old” make you think of? 👵🏻 No, this isn’t a post about my forthcoming birthday. Rude. It’s about how “old” doesn’t automatically mean “out-of-date” or “irrelevant” in 21st century business. 📉 LinkedIn is chockablock with people urging you to modernise and streamline. 💡 Encouraging you to embrace the new. 🤖 AI and digital tools will transform your business! 💻 Using up-to-the-minute tech is the only way to increase sales! Perhaps that’s all true. But I think something a bit more old-school can help, too. Storytelling. The Storytelling for Business Podcast is a deep dive into HOW and WHY telling stories can boost your business. 🤩 Why not check out Season 1? 🔝Follow the link in my bio to find it on your favourite podcast app. 👂 Please listen, give it a 5 star review AND subscribe… 🎄because then you’ll automatically get the Christmas Spesh episode this time next week. The Christmas episode was inspired by a book published 180 years ago. 📕 But I promise the lessons you’ll take from this podcast are MODERN and RELEVANT for your business. 💡 And it features a few of my amazing voiceover friends, too. 🎁 I know, I’m spoiling you.

Natural talent

Being caring, conscientious, creative. Showing patience and understanding, carefully nurturing and getting a buzz when things go well. That’s what I love about being a gardener. And also about being a voice actor.

My favourite season is the Spring. I love the anticipation of longer days, the garden slowly warming up and waking up with the promise of new growth and new life. I like revisiting my greenhouse after the cold winter, opening my carefully labelled envelopes of seeds collected in the autumn, and planting them in trays of cool earth. And then... waiting for the magic to happen.

For me, every new voiceover project is like this. I love starting out with a dry script, just words on the page, then creating the right conditions to bring it to life.

Whatever type of voiceover I’m working on, I make sure all my clients get the best results. I’m regularly thanked for being efficient, thorough and a pleasure to work with. My clients have complete confidence in my services which is why so many of them come back to me again and again. I cherish these relationships just as I care for my plants over the seasons.
