Following a rather quiet period –the worrying demon of life as a freelancer– I now find myself with more than enough to do. Like buses, jobs seem to either all turn up together, or not at all. My current assignments are recording an audiobook on the media in Italy, doing voicework for a children's audiobook and now returning to the Norwegian opera to do some more coaching for Peter Grimes –which is being presented next month with quite a few changes of cast. It is especially nice to be back at the opera, and always good to go back and work on something for a second time –one brings so much more insight and knowledge to the piece. And as there are so many wonderful singers there who know Italian backwards I am craftily hoping I can get them to help me with some of the Italian pronunciation I I have to deal with in the audiobook!
