How wonderful to say your work won an award at Cannes! Having listened now I can see why.

Congrats! Great spots! (Even if you Brits DO pronounce "aluminum" funky)

I'll take you Cycling Proficiency and raise it a Bronze Survival Swimming award!

Good stuff and well deserved. Voicing a Cannes award winner is certainly brag-worthy!

Stellar job! I thought you voice was perfect for that spot. I wonder if I could get away with changing the way I say aluminum. It sounds so much more refined when you say it.

Colin and Di - I'll bet they'll let you buy nice trophies!

It is nice to be a part of a really well done project...where everything works.

Thanks for the warm comments everyone - much appreciated.

In case it wasn't obvious, that's the voice of my wife Emma Thurston on the second video.

Between us, I think we voiced around ten promos for this campaign. I've just posted a couple of them on Vimeo, but the writing and production was all of a really high standard.

Note to Rob, glad you like the sound. From memory the mic was an older U87 into a Fearn VT1. They certainly wound out a LOT of bottom end.

Colin
