The story
I've spent more than 30 years being paid to do one thing well: to stand in front of an audience and make people believe me. On stage, behind a microphone, on camera or through my writing, my passion has been to tell the story.
That passion has taken me to theatres around Europe, the UK and southern Africa. It has put me on international film and television sets, including The Mauritanian, Breathe, Black Sails and Raised by Wolves. It has taken me into recording booths for audiobooks, documentary narration and audio dramas broadcast globally.
That passion has also taken me into the powerful world of writing where I have been commissioned to write screenplays, ghostwrite memoirs for leaders and executives, and of course to write for my own deep satisfaction.
Why I created ANP
Over 30 years in performance-based industries have taught me a wealth of knowledge about how to present oneself and a story effectively. I have seen first-hand when performances are not at their strongest and understand why. I have learned lessons from some of the most experienced actors and presenters working on international productions. I have seen how much of a difference preparation and understanding the medium can make, even to those with little or no prior experience.
Writing memoirs has shown me the same thing from another side. People with extraordinary stories often lose them at the first hurdle, because no one has helped them present their story the way publishers need to see it.
ANP brings both crafts together. The skills are the same: listening for the truth in someone's voice, shaping what they want to say, and helping them deliver it with conviction. That is the purpose of ANP.
Where I work
I'm based in Cape Town and work with clients across the UK, Europe, the United States and South Africa. Coaching and interviews happen online, at times that suit your diary. For shoots in Cape Town, I can be alongside you on set.
