Big Finish and the World of Audio Drama

Audio drama is where Conningham’s range gets its fullest workout. His contributions to Big Finish Productions stretch across multiple Doctor Who ranges – The Fourth Doctor Adventures, The Eighth Doctor Adventures, The Ninth Doctor Adventures, The War Doctor, Missy, The Diary of River Song, and more. Within those productions he has voiced a string of distinct characters, including Fletcher Hart across several entries, and figures like Fridtjof Nansen in Northern Lights and Maximov in Nightmare Country. The breadth of that catalog reflects a consistent trust from the production house rather than occasional one-off casting. On the screen side, his 2015 appearance as the Viking Chuckles in Doctor Who: The Girl Who Died served as a live-action counterpart to that audio relationship with the franchise.

Warhammer 40,000 and the Voice of Trazyn the Infinite

Among Conningham’s audio credits, his work in the Warhammer 40,000 universe stands out for its scope and character specificity. Voicing Trazyn the Infinite – the sardonic Necron collector at the center of Robert Rath’s The Infinite and the Divine – required carrying a personality that is equal parts calculating, theatrical, and darkly comic across more than thirteen hours of audio. The novel spans millennia and follows Trazyn’s rivalry with Orikan the Diviner, and the audiobook’s success leaned heavily on how each of those characters was realized in performance. Beyond Trazyn, Conningham also voiced a string of Magos characters within the Black Library catalog, demonstrating an ability to differentiate voices within the same fictional universe without falling back on obvious shortcuts.
