Actors

We had a problem with one of the actors we chose to use for the character 'Quentin'. We originally used Ben Cunliffe in the recording, but he didn't sound fitting to the character he was playing. Quentin is a popular ladies man - and Ben Cunliffe's voice didn't sound confident enough to successfully portray his personality. It isnt possible to use physical appearance to create an audiences impression of a character when doing radio, so we had to make sure that the script and the voices reflected the personalities we were aiming for. We asked a round and listened to a few different voices from people we knew at college. In the end we decided to use the voice of Ben Mackenzie for this part. As he sounded more professional due to his background in performing arts, we saw him as a more confenient candidate.
