Hello, I'm Brad Shaw, voice actor and founder of VO training community Wonderland VO. At the beginning of the first lock down, I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma and had to undergo a year of immunotherapy. Just as I was getting over that, I got prostate cancer and had an operation just over a year ago. Then more recently, I heard that the stage 3 melanoma had returned and so I had had an operation at The Royal Marsden Cancer hospital to remove lymph nodes from under my arm. 

​

During that first lockdown I created The Wonderland Challenge, where 159 voiceovers including many famous actors and celebrities each recorded a minute  of Alice in Wonderland and donated to the NHS. You can read all about it here.

​

So it feels like the time is right to launch Wonderland Challenge 2: Alice Through The Looking Glass  this time in aid of Cancer Research. So I split the book down into 175 one minute chunks this time and again put this out to the voiceover community. As well as recording their minute, I asked each voice actor to donate at least £10 to Cancer Research UK. Well, I'm thrilled to say that I filled all the slots within days and you can see the amazing current total above.

​

I have now spent many days editing all the pieces together and it's sounding fabulous. So, I am proud to present the first chapter for you below. The plan now is to release the book as a podcast starting on December 6th with Chapter 2 being released and then a chapter every two days, with the last 3 short chapters being released together, so we have the complete book available before Christmas. The podcast will be available here and on all good podcast platforms.
