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!”

MADIVA 303 - Evan Tess - Encouraging gender inclusive casting calls, with a focus on Non Binary actors
Hellooo - hearty happy welcome's to this episode of MADIVA on encouraging gender inclusive casting calls, with the blooming lovely, warm and brilliant....EVAN TESS!
We kinda look at soo many things INCLUDING:
What
is
Hope punk?
What
does
Non
Binary
mean??
How can you make casting calls more inclusive to non binary folks and more>?
OH, and we even hear the birdsong of Caesar the Cockatiel - what's not to like peoples!?
THESE QUESTIONS, birdsong, AND MORRRRE are explored gently, peacefully and with care in conversation with the brilliant and groovy Evan Tess.
During this interview, I'd love you to have an open minded thought-filled listen, and think about perhaps changing some of your (possibly life experience entrenched) gendered language to be more inclusive of non binary folks in general life and casting calls....and as a VA not to apply for roles if the descriptor does not apply to you, and as a writer, producer and creative think a little more deeply about who can play your wonderous characters because, being honest, it is not hard to do, and will mean such a lot to those gentle beings who identify as such.
Evan talks eruditely on top tips for positive and inclusive terminology to use in your acting calls to make it truly accessible to all. They suggested:
'We practice gender inclusive casting; please read for any roles that are appropriate for you regardless of the outcry of your voice.'
AS A SUPERB STARTING POINT for inclusivity.
Copy it, paste and or edit in your own words. Ah gwan!
Thanks so much to Evan for taking the time to join me, and I hope what was said is hugely useful and informative to those not already in the know!

I still feel as an indie medium we just need to nurture more connectivity, which means practicing constant inclusion practices....and I need to too!
Hope you're all well out there - please keep making your audio awesome, but also consider who you can include to make it EVEN BETTTERRRRR
