Martin Whiskin – from management to microphone

Swapping the 9-to-5 office job for a home recording booth
While managing databases during the day, Martin Whiskin spent all of his spare time gigging with his band as well as handling a lot of the promotion that came with that. He enjoyed learning about photography, videography and design that came with that role, but never considered himself to be creative.
As a shy youngster, music was an expression of self and a confidence builder for Martin, but striking the right balance between a demanding full-time job and a blossoming passion is no mean feat. In this episode Martin candidly shares his experiences, detailing the highs and lows of managing gigs and shows with his band, while also maintaining his day job.
When the pressure hit boiling point, Martin took a much-needed break from the music, followed by a layoff from the day job. While considering his next move, Martin stumbled upon the opportunity to explore voiceover artistry.
The band-days experiences translated seamlessly into running a successful voiceover business, with his skills in photography and video production playing a key role in his success. Martin finally started to appreciate and tap into his innate creativity.
In this episode Martin discusses the intricacies of being a voiceover artist, explaining more about the process, types of jobs, and the significance of script interpretation.
