If you sat down to view the latest Wallace & Gromit offering this Xmas, you would have heard the debut of voice artist, Ben Whitehead, as Wallace. A role established previously and most distinctively by Peter Sallis.

In her article for The Conversation BVA member, Jenny Chantelle Tullett gives the background to this feat of vocal mimicry.

 

 

 

We also give a shout out for BVA member (and Co-Chair of Education) Andrea Hazel Lewis who was the expert vocal coach for Ben Whitehead in Vengeance Most Fowl. Who knew!
