Hi, my is Megan and I am interested in different types of art and acting. This week I interviewed Nathan Pegler; who is an actor and an artist and asked him some questions about art and acting.
It was really interesting, I learnt about how he got into acting and his experience in the industry. It made me feel inspired about art and acting, Nathan give good information about technology such as motion capture technology that helps him in roles for films and TV.
He spoke about different roles that he had appeared in, such as a body double for Poldark, appearance in Doctor Who, and series 2 of His Dark Materials, the new Philip Pullman series on BBC. As an aspiring voice actor, I found this interesting because it’s a real-life way of getting into the industry.
Nathan also creates his own artwork and sells it: he has run a stall at Swindon Comic Con with this. It inspired me to start creating my own art, to see how that develops, and to get involved in voice acting. If you are inspired to create your own creative work but you’re not sure where to start, there are sites like Deviant Art where you can upload your work and get feedback and get a following, which can help with getting your work out there.
The #iDARE youth publication is a a fully funded project open to any young people aged 13-20 (or up to 24 if disabled) based around Swindon.
If you would like to become a participant, volunteer your time to help run it,
