Casting Director: Libby Clark
Actor: Mathew Atkinson
Suitability for role:
Mathew will be completing the
voice over element of the
production. His voice is very
mature and holds a lot of
meaning, which is perfect for the
experienced and worn out
character. The production also
takes place years after the
original story, meaning he would
need to sound a lot older
compared to the two younger
characters.
Mathew is able to deliver the
lines deliberately and in a way
that communicates their
meaning, without overwhelming
the audio with emotion. He can
remain calm while also
communicating the role as I had
imagined it to be.
