If you haven't seen P.C.Ramakrishna on stage, the chances are you would've heard his voice. An eminent theatre and voice artist in India, he completes 51 years in theatre and is a member of the oldest theatre group in the country, The Madras Players.

The group itself celebrates 65 years in theatre this year and during this lifespan has given a huge boost to India's English theatre scene and encouraged many Indian playwrights in the process, like Vijay Tendulkar and Girish Karnad.

Ramakrishna is also among the first few English newsreaders in the country and his distinctive voice is considered as one of the most recorded voices in English in India. In this podcast, he talks about his early days in theatre playing 'chocolate hero' roles, handling criticism and what sets a good voice actor apart.\\xa0
