About this listen

 Carole Boyd has been in the Archers since the mid 80’s. Following her training at the City of Birmingham University she then won BBC’s Carlton Hobbs award which involved a 6 month contract with BBC Radio Drama Company. But she started acting age 3, when, whilst being bored in long cinema queues, she used to sing and dance to entertain the other queue members.

Carole voices all the female voices on ‘Postman Pat’, fell in love with Laurence Olivier in her early teens, and looked after her husband for twenty years after he had a stroke which removed half his brain. Though remarkably Patrick retained his speech and sense of humour.

Carole talks about techniques to manipulate your voice and use it to be as expressive as your face.

Bunny first met Carole when they were on the same team for University Challenge, and she describes her favourite colourful plants which she likens to ‘NewBerry Fruit Jewels’ a jelly type of sweet.
