He has lost 80% vision in a few hours. After a year of serious struggle he encountered traditional storytelling - he didn't need to see it written! He began learning the art of the storyteller and started working as such. By 2005 he had also qualified as a Voice Teacher (MAVS, CSSD) and in addition to storytelling he now works in drama schools in London and teaches international clients to access their best speaking voice. He is a Voice Artist, recording and even winning Gold Medals for his work. He also creates new storytelling shows from traditional and historical\/biographical sources, and for the last twenty years has created a new touring show every two years. He loves all his work!\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51806085906706,"sku":"9781803999180","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_640f874e-852c-43e1-acc7-b9bf586f4e82.jpg?v=1765975016","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/storymaker-the-art-of-creating-and-sharing-stories-with-children-9781803999180","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
