Whilst working in Dubai I was asked one day if I would mind recording a radio commercial for a conference taking place in Abu Dhabi's Emirates Palace Hotel.

It was due for airing on the UAE's Radio 2, though I never actually heard it going out myself.

We made our way to a makeshift studio not that far from Mall of the Emirates and I was asked to read out the proffered script.

Music was dubbed on afterwards and the whole advert was chopped to last exactly 45 seconds.
