Science to Sound with Liz Drury
About this episode
Initially hesitant about public speaking, Liz Drury's journey unfolds with unexpected twists, from her scientific studies to her current role as a voiceover artist.
As an archeological scientist Liz found unexpected fame from her research on 'prehistoric chewing gum', which catapulted her into the media spotlight.
That sparked her interest in the media world, and Liz volunteered and later worked at a local television channel, but when the funding ran out she moved to working on various projects in a sixth-form college.
During her time as a 'trailing spouse' – we explain what that means in the episode – Liz took acting classes and explored the training involved in voiceover work.
As with most of our guests' stories, this training did not instantly lead to a full-time career in voice work, but eventually – thanks to a redundancy – that was to be the case.
Now Liz is also able to enjoy musical escapes by singing in a choir and learning to play the baritone horn – not sure what that is, neither was I!
