My name is Hannah and I’m a British voiceover artist originally from Bristol, now living in Valencia, Spain. And first thing’s first — I can’t begin to tell you just how much I love voicing.
My career journey has been influenced by a collection of sparkling, soulful, and serendipitous experiences over the last decade that have all combined to give me a very unique perspective in this industry.
It all started with an innate love of theatre and drama — something that I took deadly seriously until I left school for university. This was equally balanced with a militant singing routine — that included seven years of weekly lessons, twice-weekly choir practice, and obligatory monthly concerts as the “head alto” (I still sing to this day — just a tad less militant).
But I got my first real taste of voice work (as I know it now) when I started studying Broadcast Journalism at Nottingham Trent University. Over three years, I had unlimited access to swanky mics, vocal booths, vocal coaching — and I even conquered Adobe Audition. This was where I learned to tell stories with my voice alone. And I was smitten. I volunteered at local radio stations, got a great understanding of audio and presenting work, and THEN… I graduated bang in the middle of the naughties’ financial crisis.
Lost and unsure as most 20-somethings are, I was tempted away from the mic to pursue a sexy career in digital marketing and copywriting. It was the recession-proof choice. Digital was up-and-coming — it was where the money and security were. And, while it wasn’t quite as fun as I thought it might be, eight years in the digital marketing world taught me some pretty valuable lessons that I embody in everything I voice today:
– the importance of purposeful storytelling
– the power of a brand voice
– how to communicate to people like an actual human being.
Every voice actor sets their own rate. All of our talents are pros, but the cost can vary depending on their experience and skill level.
Generally speaking, voice over rates depend on:
- Will the voice over be for broadcast and paid ads, or organic, non-promotional use?
- The length of the script (word count).
- Do you need the voice over fully edited and production-ready, or just the raw audio?
- Do you want to direct the voice artist in real-time, or can they record independently?
Many of our voice actors follow our pricing schedule, but you’ll find that rates are negotiable, so if you let them know what you can afford, there’s a good chance they’ll accommodate you!
