Emma Clarke's Diary

20/12/2025

Wow - curiously proud of this! I know I sent a lot of audio files this year but....Jeez!

I love watching the skies over Manchester changing across the day from my loft hidey-hole. I can just about see the hills on a clear day...but not today.

The perfect kind of day for scoping out a new piece of music about apocalypse messaging!

Started the day recording a clutch of legal disclaimers. Quite the way to get the blood pumping first thing in the morning, let me tell you...

A little festive update. Once again, I’m delighted to be the voice of Katie Carrot in this year’s Aldi Christmas campaign.

It’s been a joy bringing her to life, and I loved working with the creative team behind the advert. If you spot Katie on your TV over the next few weeks, that’s me! It's a touching love story as Katie and her beloved Kevin tie the knot...totes emosh...

Have a cuppa (or a carrot!) while you watch this year's epic films.

See Britain’s two favourite carrots become the perfect pear.

Starting the week with a cup of tea and a corporate voice job for one of my oldest clients. What a fab way to spend the first morning of December!

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately....for good reason.

The last couple of weeks have been a full relocation - home, studio and office all on the move at once. Honestly… can you imagine? It’s been pretty full-on.

So I’m back at my desk and fully back into the work: voicing, writing, composing and developing new projects .

More soon!

Well, it’s been a busy time at Clarke Gables - we’ve relocated…and then I was ill. Great fun, as you can imagine.

Normal service has now resumed!

Recorded another ad for Maserati - top fun. And the sound design on this one is bee-yoo-tee-full. Will share asap!

That moment when the email pings and you see the words “Signed off!” 🎄

The Christmas TV campaign I’ve voiced for a big brand is officially happening and will be hitting your screens soon.

Can’t share details just yet - but I can’t wait for you to hear this one!

This week’s highlight? Barking enthusiastically into a microphone, in the style of an energetic dog. (For work, obvs).

29/10/2025

Recording a character voice for an animal welfare film today! I'm playing the part of an over-excited dog. Typecast???

I had a lovely email from a BBC Radio 3 listener asking if I was OK as I've not been heard on air for a few weeks.

Just to reiterate, I'm no longer presenting the Saturday Breakfast show on Radio 3 as production of the show has moved from Salford to London. The show's in very safe hands with a fantastic team.

As for me, well, who knows if I'll be heard on the R3 airwaves...but I've got plenty going on to keep me out of mischief!
