Hi, I’m Hannah.

 

I’m a British female voiceover from Hertfordshire, living and working in Kent and the Greater London area - and willing to travel.

If you’re looking for a professional, reliable voice actor with 13 years experience and a broadcast quality home studio, then look no further. 

Commercial and corporate

I help my commercial and corporate clients by providing a relatable, trustworthy voiceover, brimming with humanity and warmth. 

I am an intuitive performer with the ability to subtly change the nuances of my delivery at your direction, and fully embody the character I portray.

Commercial credits include Amazon Music, the BBC, Monzo, Next, Haagen Dazs and Adobe.  Corporate clients include KFC, Vitality, Arup, and TikTok.

Video Games

In the video games sphere, I will come to your game armed with a toolkit of characters up my sleeve. I understand the character archetypes and worlds that games are set in, and use this to craft believable, rounded characters. I’ve worked on titles such as The Settlers New Allies, No Plan B and We Happy Few plus a AAA title currently under NDA. I have trained with Andrea Toyias in character creation for games, and Tom Keegan and Neil Newbon in MoCap and Pcap.

Animation

I am an ardent lover of animation.  From adult animations like Archer and Big Mouth to children’s animated media that I can watch with my daughter, I adore it all.  I work regularly in a child’s voice and can bring all the imagination, and comedy timing that the genre requires. Credits include Happy Go Hopscotch, Warhammer 40,000 and Novakid.

Audiobooks

As a book lover, it’s a pleasure to work in the audiobook world. It’s a place where I can craft believable characters, and utilise my repertoire of accents. As well as my native British accent, I work in various regional British accents and a general American accent. Taking time to carefully prep each book and create a bespoke voice for each character is a labour of love. Titles include The House of Mirrors by Erin Kelly, Inferior by Angela Saini, Superior by Angela Saini. 

eLearning

Over my many years as a female voiceover artist in this industry, I have voiced eLearning content for hundreds of companies, and they have all needed the same thing from me.  To deliver eLearning content that isn’t boring!  Sure, sometimes the subject matter can be a bit dry, but it’s my job to get under the skin of it, and breathe life into it.  What you end up with is content that feels like your best friend explaining something to you.  These days, high quality eLearning producers need that human touch, to set them apart.

Singing

As well as a voice actor, I am also a working singer songwriter, with two record deals under my belt.  I have sung on commercials for Audi, Hotpopint, and O2 and write and perform toplines for production libraries.

Home studio

My home studio was bespoke built by a local joinery company and was designed by my husband who is a musician, producer and sound engineer.  The vocal booth is fully sound treated, and I use a Neumann TLM 103 mic running through a Grace Preamp and Apogee interface.  I work in Logic Pro X on a mac.  I can link up with you online for directed sessions using whatever medium you prefer, whether that’s Cleanfeed, Session Link Pro or Source Connect, or Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. I can usually offer a fast turnaround time of 24 hours on most projects.

So, If you need a cutting edge British female voiceover, and want to work with a great voice, who ‘just gets it’, then you’ve come to the right place.
