The most frequent question…
What is the most frequent question I get asked - it's not going to surprise you. It's how did you end up voicing the Elizabeth Line (until 2022 it was London's buses). So here's the answer. In 2005 I was going for a career change. I wanted a lower profile,...
Every now and then …
