About Dennis
But you need the right voice, accent, and tone to touch your audience. To make them truly hear your message.
And this is where it pays to use a premium voiceover like Dennis. As a professional voiceover, there are many skills he’s had to master. He had to develop both his vocal control and his ability to act behind the mic. He learned to control his speech rhythm, breathing, and tone as well as speak meaningfully and authentically for the audio. He trained his voice for years so that it’s easy to follow and interesting for his listeners.
But on top of the intricate technical elements of voiceover, Dennis has developed the expressive versatility and spontaneity to convey different emotions, tones, and even character traits. Voice over actors must be able to analyse and interpret copy and sound as if they’re not reading but speaking spontaneously in the present.
Although Dennis can take on the terrifying attitude and tone of the evil General Zod, he can also portray a friendly, upbeat neighbour, as well as an empathetic and caring doctor. But even more than just microphone technique and acting skills he has the ability to find the words off the page and tell a story.
His voice is warm, confident, expressive, and clear, with an easeful sense of authority. His everyday accent has a strong London flavour, refined with a slight Transatlantic twang.

But it’s important to understand that there’s much more to eLearning and Explainer voiceovers than just knowing how to read educational material out loud. It’s a specialised niche in voiceover, which requires a high level of proficiency and skill.

Working with a True eLearning Partner

He knows that it’s best to collaborate as a partner or team player with clients from the beginning of the process in order to deliver full value. This could mean helping to find additional voice actors for an eLearning course with various characters and making sure that the entire sound package is as impactful as possible by sourcing royalty-free music, or hiring a composer to create an original music score.
