PAUL MONOPOLI
INTERVIEW WITH
SPIKE SPENCER
Neil Kaplan had vacated his seat to take
part in other interviews. The void in
front of me was filled by the shape of
Spike Spencer, another voice actor I had
previously interviewed. Rather flatteringly,
Spike remembered me from AVCon 2013,
when he had previously attended as a
guest.
When I last spoke to Spike he declared
that he was going to roll down the hill on
the side of the River Torrens. This never
happened, and it was something I joked
about with some of my AVCon friends
before the interview. They suggested that
as Spike is now a family man that he might
not be so keen to do this.
“That makes no difference whatsoever!
Rolling down a hill, I mean… come on!...
My wife really wants to, so we might just
do that”.
“I’m married, I have an 11 month old baby
boy who’s here with us. I have done more
voice over work. I’ve done a lot of other
training as a coach. I’m a sales coach, a
dating/relationships coach, relationships/
sales dynamics”.
During the last AVCon Spike had presented
a dating tips panel, details of which can be
found at dontkillyourdate.com. A book on
the subject, ‘Foodgame: The Ultimate Recipe
For Dating Success’ is
currently with the
editors and will be
available soon. So
Spike has been
quite busy, though
he confesses that
the bulk of his time
is spent raising his
son.
I asked Spike what he had been up to
since we last spoke.
