Harley Bird recording Peppa Pig album

Harley Bird has been recording a ‘Peppa Pig’ album.
The 17-year-old voice-over artist – who has been providing the fictional porker’s vocals since she was five years old – is excited about the release of show’s new film ‘Peppa Pig: Festival of Fun’ and says doing a record has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Speaking about the album on ‘This Morning’ on Tuesday (02.04.19), she said: "It’s been so much fun. People will love it."
The teen is the third person to voice the adorable cartoon and says working on the show is now "normal" for her, because she has grown up with the hit BBC programme.
She said: "I started when I was five, this is, I think, my 13th year of doing it. It’s just so normal for me to do. It would be so odd not seeing everyone and doing everything."
Harley also says providing the voice of Peppa has become "more difficult" now she is older, because she has matured since starting on the show.
When asked if it had got "harder" to voice the cartoon now she is a teenager, she replied: "Not harder. A little more difficult because it’s such a change now because I’ve matured from age five."
Morwenna Banks – who voices Mummy Pig on the show – says people don’t usually recognise her in public because her real voice is not like her cartoon, but Richard Ridings, who voices Daddy Pig, gets spotted more often.
She said: "I don’t particularly sound like mummy Pig so you wouldn’t really know it was me.
"But Richard who is Danny Pig really sounds like Danny Pig!"
