Drama Reel Bundles
What are my options?
A Radio Drama reel should showcase the full range and versatility of your voice and the characters, styles and emotions that you can play. It needs to be stamped with your personality; the key to a memorable reel is confidence, positivity and your ability to be totally believable.
​
It should contain eight pieces, each no more than 60secs long, that have at least a 30% contrasting tonal difference. Depending on your personality and aims, your reel may include: comedy, a duologue, classic drama, contemporary prose, your native accent and one other strong accent, contemporary theatre and a short memorable poem.
​
If you feel that you are completely ready to record, then the Record a Full Length Drama Reel bundle is the right option for you. However, if you feel that you would like more coaching, direction, guidance with choosing your pieces, marketing advice and some time spent increasing your vocal range or developing an accent, then the Prep & Record Drama Reel Bundle is for you.
​
And remember, don't hesitate to get in touch to discuss your options if you're just not sure or want to find out more!

Annette Holland
CBL Management
"Creating my Radio Drama Reel with Peter was amazing. Peter’s advice and expertise was invaluable and I learned so much in the whole process of preparing and recording. It was a lot of fun too. The finished product is better than I ever imagined and it has already secured me good quality work."
Chris Buckley
The Voiceover Gallery
"I went into the whole Voice Over thing somewhat daunted but from our very first session, Peter put me at ease with his relaxed, informed, and humorous approach to the coaching. During the year I worked with Peter, I learnt so much about mic technique, voice variation, tonal differences, presentation, and so on, and I believe the finished product - my Show Reel - is a great testament to his teaching and motivational skills. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable experience!"

"I really enjoyed training and working on my voicereel with Peter. He's really good at helping you produce your best, either through directing or simple physical exercises...the character just leaps off the page straight into the microphone!"
