Sean Ruttledge

Have been commissioned by leading marketing services agency to record spoof wine labels in various regional British accents for a PR stunt, accents included Scottish, Welsh, Liverpudlian (scouse) Mancunian (Manchester) Brummie (Birmingham) Yorkshire, Geordie (Newcastle) West Country (Somerset) & East Anglain Supplied these in audio & video formats and they were used to promoted a UK supermarket chains wine retailing operations

With the script signed off, I contacted Sean Ruttledge, a UK comedian with whom I'd previously worked. Sean convinced me he could bring enough variety to the voices to get the job done for a prototype. Sean's early voice development and recordings really helped flesh out the characters, and proved an essential resource for Tom our animator to work against. Scratch voice audio is definitely something we'll do going forward. Tom set to work animating the characters against Sean's lines, doing his best to translate the voice acting into waving arms and nodding heads. Working without scenes he'd render out video clips with proposed camera angles for us to review and iterate on.
