OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
British actor Antonia Beamish has recorded at least 8 pages on the Audible website. She reads fiction and nonfiction titles and enjoys the vitality of horror stories even though she doesn’t read them for pleasure. She talks about how to keep the characters and their accents separate as she makes her way through the hours of recording a book. She believes acting with the full body as a narrator is vital to bring voices to life. She’s lived and worked in America and recalls the uncertainty of making career plans on short term visas. She explains that the life of a book narrator is incredibly lonely and she asks Jude for advice about how to do more radio drama in the UK.
Antonia’s influences and inspirations are: Hanya Yanagihara (‘A Little Life’), Raymond Carver Tenessee Williams, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Kathryn Hunter Miranda July Bryony Kimmings
