Finding the Perfect Voice for NHS Videos: Why a Human Touch Matters

This year has been filled with rewarding projects with 3 Welsh health boards and I've especially enjoyed those related to neurodiversity and children's health.

As a parent myself with experience of the ups and downs; from the hilarious and joys of it to the lows and sometimes lonely and confusing moments of parenting, I sought to deliver these scripts with understanding, empathy, respect and a touch of subtle humour that's often needed in parenting.

This mix of humour, empathy and sensitivity was wonderfully written in the excerpt below about toileting. Children that don't reach the milestones when it comes to toileting (especially YEARS after they're expected to) live through distressing and highly embarrassing experiences, as do their parents. And it's more common than you think. That's why I sought a tone that reflected empathy, knowledge of the topic and the humour & hope of someone who know's what it's like to live through. Take a listen and feel free to comment or just get in touch if you'd like to discuss any of your projects and what kind of voice your script needs.
