The vocal expert is thrilled to have been involved in the movie, which scooped four prizes at this years Academy Awards including the best director gong for Tom Hooper. Nevertheless, he didnt initially realise the picture would be so well-received.

I thought it was interesting but when I described it to friends they were confused. Youre doing a film about what? A king who stammers? Maybe I didnt explain it well, he mused to Cover Media.

Its a scenario were not used to.

That said, it didnt take long for Neil to realise the movies potential. He described the cast as being a directors dream, and thinks Tom is immensely talented.

It felt very different. I only started to think about how successful it could be towards the end when I saw the rough cut and it was an incredibly moving work. I thought, I wouldnt be surprised if some people won awards, he added.

The films location manager Jamie Lengyel had a similar reaction. Jamie understood that the personal struggle of King George VI documented in the historical drama would move cinemagoers.

It struck a chord. I thought, This is personal its more than just a story about a king, he explained.
