Accomplishments
During time in my High school I became head boy and acted as a peer model to other students and in College I my classmates would often come to me if they needed advice on how to act on a certain piece of work. This earned me a star pupil award during my time at College.
Affiliations
- When I am not in a working environment or making my own projects. I like to take myself off To my local gym or pool to do some exercise. I am also apart of Hoylake swimming club where I am looking to improve my skills as a swimmer. I also really like to absorb myself in a good book to decompress and escape from reality for a period of time. I am a particular fan of Fantasy and Sci/Fi books. Lastly I also love catching up with mates and taking days out to Liverpool to explore the town and markets areas.
- When it comes to creating however I am teaching myself to make Immersive audiobooks, where I narrate a story and use Condenser Microphones and Zoom Recorders to make my own Foley sound. I brainstorm ideas by watching content creators and industry professionals, create their own foley sound on social media platforms. Aside from that I am teaching myself how to animate for my audiobooks, whether that be animating photography pictures or creating my own digital art from scratch. This is to act as a visual guide to audience members who struggle listening to stories. I intend on uploading a YouTube channel with all my projects after I have made a large quantity of them in all genres, in the hope that I can inspire children or disadvantaged people to read, experience books and feel the same emotions I did when growing up with fictional tales. However. I am still learning a lot on how to make content and I am very open to learning new skills to help benefit my craft in any way.
