About Nilakantan N

I am a voice over professional with twenty years experience behind me. My portfolio includes voicing for advertisements, documentaries, corporate films, eLearning etc.I have also over the last twenty five years worked as a professional Emcee and show host and have been involved with various events which cover the spectrum e.g. Product Launches of various corporates, Charity Balls, Music shows, Fashion Shows, Beauty Contests, corporate seminars and conferences etc. I am also extremely fortunate to have as a part of my portfolio of launches, a rocket launch as well. I was the anchor and commentator for the live transmission of the launch of the PSLV-C6 rocket from Sriharikota which deployed two satellites Cartosat-1 & Hamsat into orbit, all this in the presence of the President of India Dr A P J Abdul Kalaam. Besides this I also do commentary for motor races and have been a quiz master on television too. My duties as an Emcee have given me the opportunity to work closely with many large corporate houses and I have also had the opportunity to conduct training workshops for a variety of clients and am quite a sought after corporate trainer.I have also had the privilege of putting together the course curriculum for a course on VOICE ACTING & CREATIVE WRITING for MANIPAL INSTIUTE OF MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT.More recently I have promoted DRAMACT, an entity to promote theatre, especially among children. The idea is to teach them the tenets of theatre through experiential workshops while in the process teaching them life skills as well. The ultimate objective is to try and get drama into regular school curriculum. As a theatre performer I have more than 50 productions under my belt and more recently another 25 at least as a director- many of them for children. These range from Mythologicals, to contemporary Indian theatre, to Shakespeare, to serious and funny drama and even musicals.
