This was my view for the best part of two years. Flat on a bed, staring up at the same ceiling light.

I had lost the ability to walk and speak. Things I’d spent my entire life taking for granted were suddenly gone, and we had no idea if I’d ever get them back.

Thanks to the incredible support of countless wonderful people (and a lot of hard work!) I slowly relearned how to do both. I even went one step further and achieved something I’d always dreamed of - becoming a voiceover artist!

Having experienced what it’s like to lose your voice, I don’t think I’ll ever take it for granted again.

So, to celebrate finding mine, I’ve decided to bring together the wonderful voiceover community that welcomed me with open arms to create something a little bit special (and gloriously daft!).

We’re producing a musical parody, featuring voices from across the VO community, to raise money for FND Hope - a charity supporting people affected by Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

FND can affect so many aspects of a person’s life, including movement, speech and the ability to do things most of us barely give a second thought to.

This project is my little way of saying thank you, celebrating just how extraordinary our voices are, and hopefully helping others facing their own difficult journeys.

Every donation will help support the work of FND Hope and every share of what we create will help us improve global understanding of the condition.

I lost my voice and found it again. Now I’d like to use it to make something that matters.

Thank you for being part of it.
