Fergus Ryan Voices

About me

I have the best and most fearsome head scar. And I hold a black belt in kazoo. 
When I was told I had 3 months to live at age 23, I spoke to myself from further down the line and said “Don’t worry about it; it’s going to be shit for a while but it’s all for a good reason so just go with it and you’ll be fine”. 

It’s all about the voice. What it means to activate and enjoy your voice – freeing up patterns it can weave in script, speech or sound. How we transform, express and align ourselves with the greater story of Life.

I’m fortunate to have a voice that helps provide food and shelter for my offspring, so whether it’s training, performance or therapy you’re after, that’s where the money goes.

Aged 23, I was diagnosed with a large brain tumour – a young musician who’d moved to London. Singing, writing and performing helped me through my parents’ divorce in childhood, and my brain injury as an adult (see ‘Brains On Toast’ Theatre show and ‘The Brain Tumour Song’ ). I got into Audiobook narration just in time for lockdown, when it became tricky to do sound healing face to face.

Audio book narration

I love the weaving of story-world with voice - mine is a resonant, deep baritone with the range you’d expect from a trained singer. And harmony is my strategy

Music

It’s been said that songs are ‘Time Machines’. They have a way of transporting us to moments in our past; they can give us hope for the future.
