Quirky Voices Presents
Hello there
This the podcast feed for an eclectic and wonderous creative mix of podcasts under the Quirky Voices Presents banner.
Welcome!I have an interview show / MADIVA podcast (Modern Audio Drama Indie Voice Acting) and this is focused on exploring the craft of voice acting through interviews with working Va’s, producers, Showrunners and directors.
Anyone F’Coffee is a women’s health podcast hybrid audio drama / interview show.I wrote it and it stars women who actually suffer from the conditions explored, and are interviewed about it, as well as a medical professional or charity pro interview giving signposting for advice.
Other shows in the feed include TEDDY STORY
Join Lucas and Maisie in wonderful adventures with their Teddies. Journey through portals and magnificent twisting turning and loop the loop slides to far flung places with chocolate houses and dragons and clumsy unicorns and forgetful marshmallow cloud men and Mermaids who are afraid of the water....such fun! Stories narrated by Sarah Golding and with the occasional guest stars....fun times ahead! “Wait for meeee Tedddyyyy!”

Hello all!
WELCOME! TO SEASON 3 OF THIS INDIE VOICE ACTING HOW-TO PODCAST with me Sarah Golding!
VERY excited to be back into MADIVA mode and OH WOW have I got a groovy season of how-to interviews on VOICE ACTING for youuuu! We start with one of my biggest influences in creating in the indie audio fiction world -THE BRILLYANT Mariele Runacre-Temple...of Wireless Theatre Company and Audible Uk. Mariele is the founder of Wireless annnnddd is now doing amazing things as the Casting Director for Audible UK. (And yes she did just cast SANDMAN OMG)
We talk all things Mariele's ways in-to what she does now from her indie acting roots, and our main focus was on how to make THE GROOVIEST REELS? We look at three sample reels from folks Mariele has cast (Thanks to them and their agents!) and showcase what MARIELE feels are shining examples and bastions of audio awesome content types/ranges to showcase on your reels....so do listen, and...learn!
We also look at the Audible casting process - how it currently works and how YOU can get cast by being proactive, innovative and simply showcase the audio awesome of ....you!
If you have already listened, the EMAIL to send things to re your interest in being cast isss....voices@audible.co.uk - DO email them - IF you want to....and remember, some folks will be invited in for casting calls as a result of that reading, and THAT COULD BE YOUUUU....
Other top tips are things like:
