Throughout my career as a voiceover artist, I’ve had the pleasure of working on a variety of different audio recordings. I can deliver your script in a style to suit you and my voice has been used in projects around the UK and across the globe. In the following links you can experience a range of audio recordings that I have produced as examples, to demonstrate how my voice can sound and to give a better understanding of the variety of voiceover services that I offer.

My commercial demo consists of examples of  TV, radio or internet adverts, in a variety of styles from smooth and sultry to upbeat and excited!

Looking for an audio recording for your business? My corporate narration demo shows how I can be the trusted voice of your business with examples from corporate video, business presentations and explainer videos.

Online training is definitely on the increase as more and more learning happens remotely. E-learning narration is something I am booked for a lot.

One of my favourite types of project is documentary narration. This demo showcases a number of styles of documentary read including crime, nature and reality TV.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Your voicemail greeting may be the first impression a potential client gets of your business – so make sure it’s a good one! As well as voicemail greetings I also record on-hold messages, out of hours messages, and IVR (interative voice response) prompts.

Audio tours for museums and art galleries, and audio guides for walks around historic cities are something I love to do. Here’s a clip from a guided tour around the city of Leipzig

Audio books are very popular these days. This is a snippet from a crime fiction novel called ‘Scared to Live.’

Previous clients have described me as friendly, reliable and a pleasure to work with and I take great pride in delivering an exceptional level of service with each audio recording produced. I will gladly provide a free custom demo to enable you to hear how my voice can bring credibility to your script. The trustworthy tone of my voice is naturally suited to explaining and reassuring, however, one of my more unusual audio recordings was when I was hired to sound like Miss Moneypenny from James Bond. “Flattery will get you nowhere…. but don’t stop trying”.

To find out more about what I am currently working on and how I have helped previous clients, please follow my blog or connect with me on social media.

If I sound like the right person to deliver your script, or you are interested in having a demo produced, please do not hesitate to get in contact.

FAQs

This depends very much on how the voiceover is going to be used. A voiceover for a 5 minute internal company video that will only be viewed by a handful of people is going to be cheaper than a 30 sec TV ad that will be seen by millions.

I use a couple of rate guides to help me price my work and you can have look at them too. The Gravy for the Brain rate guide has pages for various countries and the GVAA guide is mainly for the USA.

You can find a potted version of my prices on my website.

There are many voiceover artists out there, so why should you choose me? Well, if you’re after an adult female with a British accent then I tick all those boxes, but there are a few more reasons you might pick me over someone else.

  • Firstly, I’m well-established. I’ve been a professional voice over artist since 2013 and have worked with clients on every continent except Antarctica.
  • I’m well trained too! There are no actual qualifications in voiceover, but I have undertaken training on both sides of the Atlantic with some very well-respected coaches (Nancy Wolfson, Thom Pinto, J Michael Collins, Emily Jardine to name a few). I’ve also studied acting at college in the USA where I took Acting 111 and Acting 112.
  • I’m well educated. I have a degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Durham (physics and archaeology), a Masters and PhD in Archaeological Science from the University of Bradford (my research was chemistry based). So, if your script includes scientific or technical language, I can cope with this.
  • I have an excellent home studio set up which includes a gold-series booth from VocalBooth and a Neumann TLM103 microphone. This guarantees consistent quality recordings which are free from background noise.
  • My turnaround times are generally pretty quick because I work from home.
  • Although I’m not fluent in other languages I have a working knowledge of French and German, and I’ve been praised for my Dutch pronunciation! So, if your script includes foreign words, I’m not afraid of that!
  • My accent is very neutral UK, so if you want a voice that works nationally and internationally, I’m easy for everyone to understand.
  • I’m easy on the ears and easy to work with too! My clients say lovely things about me like, ‘Nothing is ever too much trouble for Liz’, and ‘the standard of her work is absolutely fantastic’.

If you want more reasons to work with me, please check out my testimonials, and have a listen to my demos and previous work.

I work from a gold-series booth from VocalBooth (apparently Madonna has the same one in her house), with a Neumann TLM103 microphone, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface, and MacBook Air with Adobe Audition software. I have a MacBook Pro for editing, and two pairs of Beyerdynamic headphones – closed back and semi-open back.

I have the paid version of Source Connect for remote direction and recording, and other options are available too.

Yes! I’m always happy to record a custom demo of a few lines from your script so that you can hear how I would sound for your project.

Yes! You can either send me some music of your choice (as long as you have permission to use it), or I can help you pick some, from a library of royalty-free options. If you want something more bespoke, I have a couple of composers in my network that I can connect you with.

Yes. I always want my clients to be happy. Any mistakes made will be rectified free of charge of course. If there are minor changes to the script after recording I will usually incorporate these in the original cost. If there are substantial changes to the script or direction after the recording then I may need to make an extra charge. If you feel it’s likely that you may want a second recording (if you’re not 100% sure about the script or direction before the session) then we can build this into the price from the start.
