Hello

Picture
I'm Victoria. I'm a radio presenter who has done some TV presenting. I'm currently on Heat Radio and have presented my own shows on Capital Radio live from Leicester Square, Galaxy and 'The Confessional' on Radio Aire, Viking FM and Hallam FM. I grew up in Leeds and despite Yorkshire girls knowing a lot I still learnt some amazing things about dogging from the good callers to 'The Confessional'!

I studied English Literature at Churchill College, Cambridge University. I was a cool geek. I still get quite emotional about a good book, but nowadays I don't have to write an essay about it!

I'd like to do more TV and more radio, so please Santa Claus if you can sort that... whoops, should have asked him last month.

PS I have an identical twin sister called Nicola who works on the BBC show Casualty. She's rather super, which is of course a compliment to me too as we share a lot of DNA!

I Love a Perfect Top Of Hour!
One of my fave things about being a presenter is doing a really tight TOH (top of hour). This is loads of info in the middle of station branding or a 'donut'. My voice is the jam. Here's my favourite TOH from my Saturday breakfast show on Heat Radio last weekend.

PS Went to an open casting for Kiss 100 last weekend with my great friend Hot Nat. Check out our audition films

Cee Lo & Heat Radio...

Picture
I was discussing the skills of a radio presenter with my friend Tom who presents Heart Breakfast in Sussex. We decided we have specific skills(!), which aren't necessarily useful outside the radio studio. But at least we are very good at:
1. Guessing the tune from only hearing 2 seconds of intro to all records released since 1982.
2. Making the weather sound interesting in less than 5 seconds
3. Selling the same tune in a new and interesting way EVERY time we play them.
Por example, here's how to remain permanenty excited by Cee Lo!

Check out the latest issue of 'Easy Living' magazine (Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover). I was commissioned to write about being a twin. Really loved writing that piece.

Did a VO for Grazia today. I love a bit of VO action as it makes one's head (& mouth) go a bit mad. I said 'Grazia' about 300 times until I got so confused I probably ended saying something along the lines of '*GGGRUUUUZZZeeeeeeeeee AAA******'!!

I learnt about Whisky tonight when I was asked to film people at a special Talisker Whisky Tasting at Vinopolis. According to a lovely Russian Lady called Tatiana whisky and chocolate is "orgasmic". I love it when people give me a great quote, especially for a corporate recording!

Recorded a VO for an HSBC Corporate Video today. Also auditioned for a Birdseye commercial where I had to talk to an imaginary polar bear!

12 March 2010
Filming has kicked off on the pilot for 'I Know What You Did Last Night'. It's a factual/light entertainment show where I get inside people's lives and we show them exactly what they did last night- it's also to highlight the effects of drink! The subject of the pilot is Lora. She is a gorgeous girl who went mad on booze. She didn't like what she saw of last night. It's going to be a great show with an educational side to it.
