Writing/Voice
The power of words...
UPCOMING PERFORMANCE
For the past couple of months I have been producing a live audio play of
'A Christmas Carol' in aid of Calibre Audio.
Calibre Audio is a charity that produces audiobooks for those with reading disabilities (calibreaudio.org.uk).
5 professional narrators, supported by a range of immersive sound effects, will be bringing Charles Dickens' best known characters to life this Christmas.
This performance is predominately aimed at those with sight disabilities who may otherwise face barriers when it comes to attending live theatre. However, it is open to EVERYONE who wants to be whisked away to Victorian London to re-live the redemption of Scrooge through the medium of audio.
Think of it as a live audio book!
*Tickets are now for sale via the link!*
Needless to say its all in support of a very good cause indeed!
Writing
Beyond videography, I am also a prolific writer and have written about a vast array of subjects , both in fiction and non-fiction.
I am a published short story fiction writer with specific interests in urban fantasy, religion and folklore. My work has been described as 'witty' and 'erudite', with readers commenting that my work is some of the best they've read. My most recently published short story, 'Last Night' can be read here: https://commuterlit.com/2025/11/wednesday-last-night/
I am currently writing a full length novel which combines elements of urban fantasy and religion, with a focus on corruption and sin.
I have also recently become a published poet with my short poem 'A Pocketful Of Stars'. This was published by 'Tap into Poetry' - https://tapintopoetry.wordpress.com/2026/04/01/tap-into-poetry-22/#a-pocket-full-of-stars-by-alex-wj-broad
I have also produced articles for such organisations as 'Save The Rhino' and I was a recent semi-finalist in the 'UK Song Writing Contest - Lyric Only Category', receiving special mention for my creative lyrics. I have maintained a blog for several years which is the best place to get a flavour of my writing style. It can be viewed here - https://alexwjblog.wordpress.com/
Having trained in Modern Theatre Studies, I also have a firm understanding and knowledge in relation to storyboarding, script writing and directing (and acting of course). I have obtained a Grade 8 certification, with distinction, for acting from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. This is the highest award you can receive. I am a highly resilient, adaptable and experienced writer who can tailor my work to suit your needs.
A creative and informed writer, with a sprinkle of flair, I can offer my writing skills as a compliment to any videography projects or as a stand-alone service.
Voice
A trained and versatile voice actor, I have narrated and produced several audiobooks and short stories, as well as podcasts. I currently narrate audiobooks for 'Calibre Audio' who produced audiobooks for those with print disabilities.
I can provide a range of voice acting/production services, including:
- Audiobook narration
- General voiceover work
- Character voice acting
- Podcast narration
- Podcast production
Examples of my narrating work:
Current Podcast - 'Eclectic Eccentrics'
I currently research, write, narrate and produce my own podcast, 'Eclectic Eccentrics'.
The podcast is an exploration of eccentricity and what it means to be eccentric.
