Meet the Voice Contributors

Meet some of our Voice Contributors. These guys often start out posting great reviews or blogs on Voice, then join our network which offers sessions with journalists, commissions, editing of their work and the chance to join the Voice team to cover major arts festivals. 

We're always on the lookout for new writers or media-makers with views about the arts. Interested? Find out how to join our network of Voice Contributors

Past Contributors

While we love working with young people to help them develop their skills and explore their passions, there will always come a point when they move on from Voice. Whether they go to university to study, enter a different industry, or progress to a full time position, we are proud to have supported their development, and always want to keep in touch to hear what great things they're up to.
