Sugarpod: Can't Have Too Much of a Good Thing!

Sugarpod: Can't Have Too Much of a Good Thing!

Last week, ClaratyVoices was delighted to attend yet another Sugarpod Productions Gaming Voiceover Workshop! In attendance representing ClaratyVoices were our delightful talents, Kelsey Egan, Will Bowdery, Fee Mak and Nic Pound and our very own senior voice agent, Lexi Myers!

Had a fantastic morning at Kerry Corran’s (@kerry.corran) Voice Over for Gaming workshop this week with some of our brilliant artists. I even jumped in the booth myself! 🎙️ Learned so many invaluable tricks of the trade — Kerry’s experience in directing, casting, and producing really shines through. Excited about the amazing work she’s doing to develop VO talent in the industry! -Lexi Myers

One of many factors that sets our talent apart is their commitment to ongoing professional development. Kelsey Egan, for example, is a dual citizen of the United States and South Africa, she was endorsed by PACT in 2024 and obtained an Exceptional Talent visa to work in the United Kingdom. She is now based in London, and after more than a decade acting and preforming stunt work, continues to develop skills through workshops like Sugarpod.
