Bill is an actor and singer and has worked extensively with the Royal Shakespeare Company, on the West End, on the TV and extensively on the radio. Bill has recorded over 40 classic novels for Naxos AudioBooks and has also cornered the market for recording the English translations of French classics.

Bill was such a pleasure to speak with and this episode exists as an extra special moment for me.

You can expect to hear in this podcast about the following and more…

  • Discussing The Count Of Monte Cristo & Alexandre Dumas Father.
  • Bill’s Definitive Masterclass On Voice Acting.
