It's podcast time once again and what an interview I have for you this month. For this episode I am chatting with voice actor Marc Silk.
The podcast is also on Spotify, Soundcloud and Apple Podcasts
Marc's CV is extraordinary, with thousands of adverts, cartoons, TV announcements, video games and films under his belt. Marc's voice is one I heard a lot during my childhood, as during the late 90's/early 00's his voice was frequently heard on Cartoon Network, CITV and adverts for Tomy Toys. It wasn't until 2015 I would learn who the man behind the voice was...
Back then I was involved in Big Centre TV, the then local TV station for Birmingham and The Black Country on Freeview Channel 8, which unfortunately only lasted 18 months. I attended the launch of the channel and one of the people speaking was Marc and as soon as I heard his voice I instantly recognised it.
Fast forward to Christmas 2022 and I attended a comic con in Telford which Marc was appearing at and we got chatting and I asked if he would like to be on my podcast and he agreed and this is the result. Over the course of just over an hour we discuss Marc's career beginnings in radio and CITV which lead to job offers from The Disney Channel and Cartoon Network because of his ability to create a range of voices and mimic famous cartoon characters. Which has led to him being the UK based voice artist for Scooby Doo and Shaggy and Johnny Bravo.
We discuss his voice work on the likes of Fifi and The Flowertots, Bob the Builder in the US and Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
Also this is the first one I'm uploading with the video included as well as the audio in the youtube version. I did this with most of the interviewees this series. Just testing the waters really, I have always been more an audio guy but I thought I'd give it a go.
