Although I have not done any voice-over acting before, I have been involved in interviews conducted and broadcast on television by BBC News Scotland:
2004 BBC Scotland
• My school telephoned me after being approached by BBC Scotland to recruit a student who would be willing to open their ‘Higher’ examination results on television.
• I accepted the offer and appeared on BBC News Scotland opening my examination results at home and being interviewed about my examinations.
2010 BBC Scotland
• In August 2010 I was contacted directly by BBC Scotland to film a follow-up news piece of me based on where I am now compared to when I opened my ‘Higher’ examination results 5 years previously.
• The piece was again shot at my house. I discussed my time at Cambridge and my recent elective in Trinidad.
Of note, I thoroughly enjoyed studying Drama at ‘Standard Grade’ level and achieved a Grade 1 (top grade).
