He is always fast, always accommodating and always nails what I'm looking for. If I could give him 6/5 stars I would.Phil González2022-06-23Guy is effective, professional and quick. We handed him a complex project (videogame), but he understood all of our instructions and applied everything perfectly on the first go. Very few emails, and very little back-and-forth-ing needed.

As a veteran British voice talent in the voice-over industry I regularly write articles on subjects ranging from voiceover production and voiceover skills through to specific pieces on the various genres or types of voiceover work. A good starting place would be my Step-by-Step Guide to Working with a Voice Actor.

Invisible Yet Intimate It’s a funny thing, this voice over lark. We’re heard by millions, yet remain largely unseen. Our
I have a British accent and deliver only British English voice overs in a male voice. I could be your voice over guy but as a producer and audio engineer, I work with many professional voiceovers of other languages and accents. I know hundreds of professional voice talent, so drop me a line if you are looking for something specific. If I can help, I will.
I’m an English voice over (generally referred to as a British Voiceover Artist) recording in English British only. If you are searching for something other than a British Male Voice Over, I have worked with professional voice actors in many languages so can help to source for your voice narration project.
British voiceover artists can also sometimes record in other languages and British accents. I speak only English and with a natural RP or South-East England accent, a very common British accent. I also record in Heightened RP (received pronunciation) which is sometimes known as the Queen’s English. I don’t do Scottish accents or silly character voices!
I’m happy to discuss assisting with casting for your project, even if you require something other than British English voice overs. Although not acting in any manner as a voiceover agent, I can assist in casting for most voiceover projects.
Just in case you’ve stumbled onto this site and are confused about what we do as ‘voiceovers’ , here’s a definition that may help.
Firstly (and yes this is confusing) there are many terms used to describe the art of voiceover. Sometimes you see it written as voice acting or the person doing it described as a voice over artist or voiceover actor. Sometimes there’s no space, so it becomes ‘voiceover’ instead of ‘voice over’. In the U.S. you’ll see voice talent or voiceover talent.
Voice over is a recording of a voice that has a particular purpose and is designed to be heard by a particular audience. The recorded voice often accompanies visuals in the form of video and is often mixed with music or a sound-bed to assist in creating an atmosphere relevant to the product or service.
One of the most well established male British voice actors. Instead of a typical home studio, Guy runs full audio production studio facilities in London and Cambridge UK with optional sync-to-video and more. The perfect voice in the perfect studio for a wide range of projects.
