Commercial VO Practice triple-shot “G”

This week I’m practicing my low-key conversational tones… which, are more difficult than you’d imagine when reading the words off the page. But hey, that’s what practice is for - getting better at something you may not be great at now.

The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back with another excellent new episode.

On today’s episode we warmup our guest up by inviting them to take on the Framestore Podcast ‘Dailies’, our 13 question ‘grilling’ followed by Thursday’s second part where our co-host leads a deeper dive into why we invited them on the pod in the first place.

In our latest instalment, we sit down with New York based Will Frazier, Associate Creative Director, to learn about his career journey and how he became integral to our work on the 'Geico Gecko,' the tiny lizard with a unique love for insurance!

This is essential listening for anyone pursuing a career in a creative role and seeking to maximise their opportunities.

Beyond his acclaimed work on Geico, Will has an extensive portfolio spanning various commercial projects, films, and episodic shows. His credits include Smurfs, Inside Llewyn Davis, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor: Ragnarok, Wandavision, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The VR Experience, among others.

This week, we are joined by our special guest, Leslie Clark, Junior Asset Technical Director, also based in our New York studio.

We learn about Will's initial internship path (when internships were only four weeks long), how he swiftly began working on the Geico Gecko, and his ongoing responsibility for maintaining the lizard's consistent look and feel across projects and spots.

We discuss Will's early role as Lead Animator, highlighting his proactive efforts in securing his current position and earning the title of Associate Creative Director. We emphasise the significance of maintaining honesty and transparency, working with your heroes, exceeding job expectations, and being a pleasure to work with.

The Framestore Podcast returns this Thursday with the second instalment of our conversation with Will Frazier, as Leslie takes over as cohost and leads the interview. 

Stay tuned!

I do music stuff sometimes too - but this channel is not for that.

A learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore! 

Every two-weeks we present a conversation in two halves!

Part one - the Framestore Podcast Dailies! Each week we invite a guest to our regular ‘dailies’ session. Set questions designed to find out what makes our guests tick, what they do at our studio, their career journey so far and all manner of advice, tips and tricks. 

For our second portion, arriving later that week, we hand the reins over to a guest co-host, a member of our global community who stands to learn a lot from the experience who engages our special guest into a deeper dive conversation. Arguably a more technical discussion depending on who we have on the pod.

Also, check out 'The Framestore Dailies' Spotify playlist, where each guest and co-host share two tracks from their most loved 'music-to-work-to' artist 🎧
