 video, tv and film appearances

video series -
​the british council's five gentlemen


This was a series of videos called '"The Five Gentlemen” which I featured in and was meant to point out the funny side of English pronunciation, connected with popular culture. It was all recorded in one day in a studio, and was my introduction to the green screen effect.

tv interview-
​sky news 

​Sky News interview with Jonathan Samuels about British people living in Warsaw and shown on British TV.  The report was shown on TV in the UK in 2007.
My role: interviewee.
.

documentary film-
'native' 

I had a small part in a gritty film/documentary which takes a look at the culture of English native speakers and why they choose to settle in another country. Directed and produced by Alejandro Bilbao Guerra USA/Poland 2010, 38 minutes.
My role: interviewee.
Shown at Talking Pictures Film Festival 2011 and Off Cinema Festival.

voice-over/dubbing-
​totem (2017)


Case notes - "A Polish film directed by Jakub Charon.
​ My voice is used to overdub a British guy in a nightclub. I do the voice-over between the 7th and 8th minute of the film. Available now on Polish Netflix. Warning: my part has lots of swearing! Here is a link to the page on imdb about the film​”
​Case briefing - swear so hard and as much as you like!

co-written article for british council voices 

A colleague and myself were asked to send our thoughts, based on our experience of doing the Roots and Treetops Skype lessons with Belarus. We talked about which subjects are suitable to talk about with learners, and subjects that we may avoid.  Click on the button below to read the article.

move guides

I wrote 3 guides for MOVE Guides - two for Warsaw (one was the updated version) and one for Wroclaw. The guides were used by people relocating to the cities and had all relevant and useful information needed for new city dwellers and were published on their website.
