Multi award-winning podcast:  Stopping to Notice            

Stopping to Notice is presented by me, co-produced with Fresh Air Productions and edited by Oli Seymour. It is a multi award-winning podcast and has a loyal following of wonderful listeners who interact regularly, and recently contributed their own voices to our 100th episode special.

 

Stopping to Notice has collaborated with the brilliant, award-winning podcast Where Are You Going? and guest hosted the fabulous Danny Robins​ of the BBC's Uncanny for a spooky Halloween episode.

 

'Expanding on the observations she shares on her popular social media accounts, Miranda invites you to join her out and about as she captures those small, magical moments of everyday life, in sound. 

 

Thanks to binaural recordings, you’ll hear everything she does as if you were right there with her. Just make sure that you’re wearing headphones.

 

There are new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. These short but lovingly crafted episodes are an invitation to escape from life’s hustle, immersing you in Miranda’s world for a few minutes.'

Testmonials: 

'I spend a lot of my time recording voice, and I always heave a sigh of relief when I learn that the artist is Miranda Keeling. Not only does she possess all the techniques and disciplines expected of a professional, she is also an absolute delight to work with. Miranda responds quickly and cheerfully to direction, and where possible will have scrutinised the script before arriving at the studio. This level of diligence is becoming a rare quality in voice artists.' 

Simon Walker (The Loophole Recording studio)

'Miranda's talent as an actor and her technical expertise as a voiceover artist meant that the process of creating the voiceover for our film, using her own state-of-the-art recording studio, was a seamless process. With perfectionism and pitch-perfect timing, she created an impressively professional finished product in a fraction of the time that such recordings usually take. Her easy, collaborative approach made her a joy to work with.' 

Katrin McMillan, CEO, Hello World

'Professional, creative and oodles of fun to boot! Miranda's voiceover brought our animation to life, and I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.'
