Christmas comes early

A bit seasonally mixed up after recording the character Mas, one of Santa's reindeers in new animation Cris Mas, in development.

Magic and Magids

Been playing the character Maree in fantasy epic Deep Secret

Warm and fuzzy to Hard as nails...

This morning's voice over brief was "children's presenter-ish/Sarah Greene". This afternoon, I'm playing Maggie Thatcher. Bye bye bright and breezy, bring on the Iron Lady!

Archers boss resigns...

Vanessa Whitburn, editor of BBC Radio 4's The Archers is stepping down after 22 years at the helm. My own series, The Other Archers, gives a flavour of what Ambridge sounds like without a highly qualified editor to keep things in check!

Teenage foxes and dancing rabbits

More vocal shapeshifting this week for new computer game 'The Rabbit'.

Better late than never...

Forgot to flag up my latest "Other Archers" episode. "Love is on the Air" was recorded especially for Valentine's Day.

Audio Lexiland

The wonderful Lexliland by Suzi Moore is now available as an audiobook (narrated by me, of course!) It's a brilliant, quirky and very moving read/listen. Had to fight back the tears!

Demons and Necromancers

Been voicing demons and divas for new game, Demonicon.

Get ready to WOTWS...

Brand new Walk on the Wild Side starts on CBBC tomorrow, Monday, at 4.30pm. Everyday for two weeks!

Wild Things

Been enjoying another brilliant week recording all new Walk on the Wild Side for CBBC. First ep due to air 28th Jan.

Blubbing all the way...

Just finished a lovely audiobook read, Lexiland by Suzi Moore. A very moving, sweet story about grief, friendship and family. I had to work hard at holding back the tears in the record!

Happy New Year!

Getting off to a bookish start with most of this month devoted to audiobook narrations. More deets to follow...

Step Back in Time

Don't miss my latest "Other Archers" ep, this year's Christmas Special Step Back in Time. Clarrie returns for Christmas, Lynda sniffs out a real star for the Elizabethan show and Vicki does some name-checking. Play Guess the Celeb too!

Have been recording the first in a trilogy of (semi-autobiographical) books by Rebecca West, starting with The Fountain Overflows.

Post Alan...

Had a brilliant week recording more Walk on the Wild Side coming soon to CBBC!

The Return of the Soldier

Prepping for the audiobook read of this neglected gem of a novel: The Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West. A poignant and thought-provoking piece of work.

A Right Royal Education

Been back in the BBC Motion Gallery booth this week to voice some English language teaching films. Lots of shots of Wills and Kate which seem to go down well in the ELT market!

El Fin

Finished the audiobook read for Catalina by Somerset Maugham. Learnt a lot of Spanish along the way!

Kip Hip Hooray!

Andy's Wild Adventures has been nominated for a BAFTA. Well done team! You can catch series 1 again at 4.15pm everyday on Cbeebies.

Catalina

Doing my spanish homework in preparation for an audiobook read this week. Catalina is William Somerset Maugham's last novel and something of a fairy tale set in 16th century spain.

WOTWS Best in Show

Relive the best of Walk on the Wild Side this Saturday, 4pm, BBC1

Until I work out how to paste the bird button onto this blog, you can follow me at @harrietcar

From 15 to 500

Dream voice combo for RuneScape this morning: precocious 15 year old princess and irritable ancient goblin fish-wife. Good fun.

Old scrubbers

Playing bitter old cleaning detergents made for a charming morning!

Back to Bristol

Packing for my final week in Bristol. Last few eps of Andy's Wild Adventures to record. Bound to finish on a Bang!

Right Royal Voiceover

Just in time for the Jubilee, I've found these Ravishing Royal films (narrated by yours truly) for VisitBritain  .

Queen celebrates Jubilee in Ambridge.

Catch me as Kip

Andy's Wild Adventures starts today on Cbeebies. Catch it everyday for 4 weeks at 4.45pm.

Dusting mics and hanging duvets.

My home studio's had a bit of a workout lately. While I can't claim it to be sensationally sound-proofed, the results aren't too bad at all!

The Nation's Narration.

While I still fancy my chances as a London 2012 synchronised swimming contender (in my dreams), I've had to content myself with some patriotic narrations instead. We're a beautiful nation.

'Archers' Archive

If you haven't already heard them, you can still listen to my trio of 'extra' Archers eps.

Roodica the Rude

Have been recording the most brilliant stories, Margaret Ryan's Roodica the Rude. As a massive Asterix fan, I loved everything about these quirky tales set in Roman conquered Britain, especially the translations: Copius Mucus, aka Lottasnot!

Happy New Year!

I resolve to do more posting. Give me a month or two..!

Snogging and Monster Swapping

Been busy narrating audiobooks lately including the fab and funny Monster Swap by Jonny Zucker. It's a shame you don't get illustrations via audio, they're brilliant! Also very funny, and poignant, is Kiss, Date, Love, Hate by Luisa Plaja. A teen romance, the title says it all!

Joyeux Knowles

My last minute Christmas offering to The Archers features a shining star and a baby born at The Bull: An Ambridge Nativity

Nuffin like a good New Year work out.

Recording the radio ads for Nuffield Health clubs was workout in itself. Two hours of jogging on the spot - and a lot of panting!

Brushing is Believing

The new Oral B Pro Expert campaign is now on air (with me providing the VO of course!)

Update!

Haven't posted for a good few months due to having a baby in May! Much as motherhood is marvellous, I've enjoyed being back round a mic. I've recently been providing voices for a couple of cartoons in production, a new Cbeebies show hopefully airing next month, and testing for an upcoming ad campaign -so everything crossed please!

New series of Tatonka

Recording has begun for the new series of Tatonka in which I play Wanji the spirited wolf cub and also Wanji's mother!

Elementary...

Been recording loads of characters for the fabulous Sherlock Yack. Conan Doyle meets Whipsnade zoo!

A nice cold Soda

I'm currently working on a brilliant, quirky new animation Grenadine and Peppermint. I play Grenadine's buddy Soda, a sweet, rather earnest little boy who finds himself caught up in many a daring mission and adventure. I also voice the loopy Queen Gloo.

Royal Wedding Archers!

I received such wonderful feedback after my tribute episode was posted on the Archers blog that I decided to record another mini ep in time for the Royal Wedding!

I'm on the Archers Blog!

Keri Davis has kindly put a link to my Archers Episode on the Archers Blog. Very chuffed!

Extra Ep for Archer Extra

To celebrate the launch of "Archers Extra" on BBC4 Extra on 5th April, I've recorded my own episode in which I play all the charas (and prove I pose no threat to any of the show's scriptwriters!)

Zipadeedoodaa...

Just finished recording last ep of a fab new cartoon, Lulu Zipadoo I play Squawk, an adolescent bird with an inflated blue beak and opinion of himself!

Cool Cats

A welcome trip to Bristol today, back to Films@59 to record an ad for Cats Protection. Impossible not to be moved by their footage of wide eyed kittens abandoned by their owners.

Rita the Bleatah!

Have had a great time voicing Rita, the hyperactive, giddy goat in Dygra Films' "Holy Night". English language release date tbc.

Great ideas for tasty nosh

Listen out for me on the Great Little Ideas campaign for Premier Foods. Loads of easy peasy recipe ideas.

Flyaway

Just recorded a beautiful book called Flyaway by Lucy Christopher. I wasn't surprised to learn that this warm, sensitive book was shortlisted for the Costa Children's Book Award 2010.

A good match for Professors

Coincidental casting this week as I've just voiced a Nintendo ad for a new Professor Layton game. Having spent the earlier part of this week acting with another top hatted, turn of the century professor, Konami's Dr Lautrec I feel fully up to speed on beautifully animated, puzzle-solving Japanese adventurers!

TV Superstars!

Kindly got given a copy of TV Superstars for Playstation 3 in which I play Jenny Ratchett, the host of 'DIY Raw'. Haven't got a PS3 but maybe if I drop a few hints for Christmas..!?

Ooh La La!

Had great fun this week voicing the character of Sophie in Konami's new game for 3DS, "Dr Lautrec and The Forgotten Knights". Set in turn of the century Paris, the plot is based upon archaeology and exploration, finding treasure and fighting battles. Best thing is the brilliant script!

Funny Fish and Magic Ink

Fun session today recording stories for Collins Education. Brilliantly entertaining and inspiring books - a far cry from Peter and Jane and Roger Red Hat!

Dread Pirate Fleur Returns!

My favourite pirate Fleur returns with a new adventure, "The Hangman's Noose". Just finished recording the audiobook and loved every minute. Tons of fabulous new characters and twists and turns of plot. Fleur is as feisty as ever, but nothing compared to her unscrupulous mother, Rose!

Walk on the Wild Side Series 1 Returns

The first series of WOTWS is being repeated on BBC1 on Saturdays, 5.30pm - catch up before Strictly!

Electricity

"Electricity" has now been released as an audiobook. A brilliant, breathtaking book and a joy to record - if pretty intense at times!

Regal Radio

Attempted my best Attenborough impression today to narrate some BBC Worldwide Wildlife shorts. Clips coming soon.
