That’s taking place at the Roundhouse in London on 26 Jun at 7pm, and tickets are available via this link.

Additionally, on 10 Jul, Sound Women are running a ‘how to’ workshop on how to make it in the world of voiceover work. It’s hosted by award-winning voiceover artist Laura Shavin (off of BBC Radio 4′s ‘The Now Show’), and will go down from 6.30pm at The Academy Zone, a space inside BBC New Broadcasting House in London.

Ahead of those events, and still to be outlined sessions in Cardiff (22 Jul), Glasgow (11 Sep) and Belfast (9 Oct), sound Sound Women spokeswoman Dina Jahina said this: “This is just the start of a great summer of Sound Women training and events, which we hope will inspire women to be creative, positive and pursue their talents in the audio industry.
