SNOW by Roj Whitelock

I recorded a short monologue last week in Roj Whitelock’s North London studio. Roj is a brilliant photographer (not to mention a kind and affable soul) who has recently been working with actors to record monologues alongside their headshots. These pieces are a great way of bringing those faces to life (literally) and enhancing an actor’s profile with their greatest asset. Any chance you can get, outside of working and auditioning, to practice your craft is to be celebrated, and Roj’s inventive rethinking of studio time is a golden opportunity to do just that. He’s also a pretty good writer, as I hope you can see here. Despite this, he’s still open to improvisation and development. We bounced ideas off each other, developed the speech further together and compared notes on our own experiences of proper winters, appropriate casual wear, inappropriate footwear, and toxic masculinity in the 1980s. All to the background of the overground, some fantastic indie classics and a lovely cup of tea. Drop him a line if you want to puff up your profile, shake out your Spotlight or reset your resume.
