TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF
I love to tell stories, and a good splash of humour. It shows in everything I do, from podcasting and voice acting to screenwriting and everything in between.
HOW DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR CRAFT?
An holiday before I went to Uni, I read a book on Wattpad that was so bad, I felt I could do better. Then with my voice, people had been telling my throughout uni to use my voice in some capacity because I’d be good at it.
TELL US ABOUT ANY OF YOUR PROJECTS?
My Podcast ‘What a Joke’! is an educational comedy podcast that involves a lot of creative storytelling, voice acting & shenanigans from myself and the occasional guest.
WHAT ARE YOUR CHALLENGES AS A CREATIVE?
Resources. Ideas are easy to cook up and plans can be worked on. Motivation also because at times you have to remind yourself that you’re an amazing creative and the world wants what you can do, even if they don’t know it yet.
YOUR FAVORITE TOOLS & PLATFORMS
Capcut (video), Adobe Audition (audio), Writersolo (screenwriting). I love twitter because it can be an interesting, helpful place, if you meet the right people.
HOW DO YOU FEEL YOUR SOCIETY AFFECTS YOUR INDUSTRY?
My society for the longest time has diminished the profitability and worth of creative skills, and the narrative even makes it seem that only the unintelligent ones go into the arts. But with my 2nd class upper from Covenant University, I’ve carried my two legs into arts and won’t look back.
IS THERE A GOOD SUPPORT ATMOSPHERE WITHIN YOUR PEERS?
Totally! I’ve been blessed with the most supportive people. Friends were my first fans fr.
MOST CLICHE THING YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IN YOUR FIELD?
Someone wanted to pay me in EXPOSURE.
MOST REWARDING PART OF DOING WHAT YOU DO?
Whenever I leave an imprint, even if they don’t remember my name or my face… if they remember my work, that’s more than enough.
ONE THING YOU HOPE TO IMPROVE ON IN YOUR INDUSTRY?
COLLABORATION! It’s the one thing that can lift us all up together. I’m building a community and you’ll be seeing projects from that collective… really soon!
