Rob Rackstraw (Bob the Builder, The Octonauts, Thomas and Friends)

Yes, it's Scoop, Muck, Mr Bentley, Spud, & Travis from Bob the Builder, Kwazi from The Octonauts and James and Percy from Thomas and Friends all rolled into one. In a 30 year career he's voiced hundreds of commercials and animations (he and I were the Koala Brothers). Born in Sunderland, Rob cheekily got a job writing and voicing commercials for local radio and never looked back. Hear about his forays into musical impro, flying light aircraft and also his attitude to AI and the voice industry.
