Fact 1:
Standing in front of the Parthenon on top of the Acropolis in Athens was one of the most moving experiences of my life. Letting your imagination be witness to all the history that sacred spot holds is unreal.
Fact 2:
I leave notes (on the mirror, on my phone etc) reminding me to smile - living in London it is sometimes too easy to forget the basics!
Fact 3:
Snoopy and Woodstock rule the world (well in my head anyway)!
Fact 4:
You can't beat a good salad!
Fact 5:
If you dont want to do something dont do it. I never let anyone, unless it is myself, pressure me into things I don't feel comfortable doing.

Eve_Hawking and Steve_Nesbit - (Narrator Screentest 2)
Joseph, you have characterised this very nicely. Although the character is incorrect, you easily prove that you could portray the right person with direction. Good luck with the 6 plays, we are surprised that there is room left in your brain for these lines!

Eve_Hawking and Steve_Nesbit - (Narrator Screentest 1)
Joseph, despite a couple of misplaced nuances here, you do very well. We are always impressed by those who can handle the forced timing, and you certainly did. Your character is too flippant, but with direction this can easily be straightened out. Good work.

This is a brilliant audition mate and I could see you had a talent from the moment I saw you in the first one. You have thought about it well, really created an atmosphere and really done your homework. Your narrator has the enthusiasm but has the cynicism too of having been through it all. But I'm sure you are aware of all this and don't really need me to tell you.

Thanks for the official feedback. I gave it a stab anyway, and just hope that I am lucky enough to be directed to do the real thing - I would be excited to discover the right character behind the narrator's words. The more lines you learn the more your brain gets exercised, and so it kind of becomes easier.

I think Joseph Ripley would be a very effective narrator, in the film Rapture, his quiet and yet tense voice.
