We’re very excited to welcome Sassy Clyde on board here at Janno Media. Sassy is going to be supporting our many podcast and audio production projects.
I’m so pleased to have joined the team at Janno. I’ve known the company for years, doing lots of work for them as a Voice Over artist. I think it was about 3 years ago that Matt gave me exclusive, home access to one of his mics – a Rode Procaster – meaning he didn’t have to keep belting up and down the M40 between my house and his! Having access to this beautiful bit of kit really opened up a few doors for me and I started getting more interested in audio production.
I trained as an actor at East 15 drama school and for the last 15 years have been working as a theatre professional but doing office work on the side, in unrelated industries, to support myself. I run a theatre company called Get Over It Productions and we produce 2-4 shows a year. One of those shows is a new writing event called The Scene where we take short scripts of around 15 mins and stage 6 of them in an evening.
Over lockdown I saw an opportunity to bring my theatre work and interest in audio production together, and with Janno’s help we started producing The Scene Podcast – a series of dinky little PodPlays. We are now half way through Season 2. It was around this time that I approached Matt to ask if he had any room to properly apprentice me in sound design. Instead he offered me a job! I was able to leave my Office Manager role at a marketing company and throw myself into the wealth of work Janno Media is always nursing.
Being an actor is tough, and the industry has really taken a kicking over 2020. I’m grateful to have been given an opportunity to learn a new skill and pleased that I found a way to pivot my love for theatre and storytelling, in a digital direction.
