Hello, and welcome! ☺️
My name is Esmée, and I’m a professional English voice actor based in Auckland, New Zealand. Born in the UK and raised in New Zealand, I’ve developed a naturally neutral international accent that works perfectly for global projects – with the ability to swing seamlessly between authentic British and New Zealand reads.
For the past 15 years, I’ve brought stories to life as both an actor and voice artist – across commercials, corporate narration, explainer videos, eLearning, animation, and video games. My voice can be warm and trustworthy, playful and quirky, powerful and confident, or deeply emotional when the script calls for it.
I trained at Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School and hold a Master of Creative Writing from Auckland University of Technology, which means I approach every script not just as a reader, but as a storyteller. My aim is always connection – helping your message not only be heard, but felt and remembered.
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!
