S4:E5 - Time for...Hot Stuff (featuring Neil Newbon)

Limited Time Only

It's summertime! Or so we're led to believe. Susie & Esther swap summer tips, and also cover sunburn, tanning and why everything sounds better in the sun. They also cover their incredibly pale legs, arms and pretty much every other bit of their bodies to avoid blistering...

This week's special guest is actor, director, mentor, and award-winning motion capture legend, Neil Newbon. Starting out as a young actor, Neil was a member of the Central Junior Television Workshop and the National Youth Theatre. His career has been wide and varied, featuring leading roles in Hollyoaks and Dream Team, and an appearance in the beloved Goodness Gracious Me "Going for an English" sketch.

Neil is best known for providing the voice and motion capture for numerous video game characters, including Karl Heisenberg in Resident Evil Village and Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3. For his work as Astarion, he won Best Performance at the 2023 Game Awards.
Neil is also the co-founder of the training facility Performance Captured Academy, which offers courses for actors on the many voice work, motion and performance capture.

We talk to Neil about when he first knew he wanted to act, his journey into mocap, and what his work in Games means to him.

With comedy sketches, bonus chat and a some very sweet singing, this ep will get you in the summer mood. Just make sure you've slathered on the Factor 50 before you listen.

We hope you enjoy this episode. Please share it with someone you like who'd enjoy it too! Links: Neil Newbon winning Lead Performer at the Games Awards 2023 \
