"I did a voice-over for a YouTube video to help a friend’s daughter with her University entrance application. She had to do a art film about a guy hanging out with a cup of tea (it was a “commercial” extolling tea’s health benefits), and they decided they needed someone with an English accent to make it sound more “genuine”. Well, I have an English accent and used to be an amateur thespian when I was younger so I volunteered my services.

They paid me by buying me lunch, so that worked out for me. Her daughter got into the school she wanted and has since graduated and now has a career so I’m glad I was able to help in a small way.

Wish I could link the video, but it appears to have been taken down (it was about 10 years ago)."
