If you've watched TV or listened to the radio over the past 50 years, you're sure to have seen or heard Jonathan Kydd. He was a presenter on ATV hit children's show Pipkins in the 1970s, he was the voice of Paddington Bear for a time, played characters in Noddy in Toyland, was the voice of L'Oreal and Ferrero Rocher (the Ambassador ads) and many more. He's also starred in lots of TV shows including One Foot in the Grave. And regularly you will still hear him voicing trails on Channel 4, Channel 5, Film 4 and sometimes the BBC. Jonathan has spent a lifetime in VoiceOvers which is why he decided to create VoiceOverGuy. Listen here to this hilarious pilot sitcom based on his experiences - and listen afterwards to Jonathan in discussion about the inspiration behind it. Enjoy!
