We are looking for 9 voice actors / narrators to contribute their voices to the audio versions of Every Brain's guide for theatres and cultural organisations on supporting neurodiversity, and Tangent: a collection of short stories curated by Every Brain. These 9 voice actors / narrators will be neurodivergent and based in Greater Manchester.

Making our work creative and accessible is central to Every Brain's mission. Both the guide and Tangent will be available in audio format. Of the 9 voice actors / narrators, 3 will contribute to the audio version of Every Brain's guide and 6 will contribute to Tangent. Both of these documents, and the audio versions, will be launched in August 2021, in a live-streamed event hosted by Contact. More information on Every Brain can be found here.
