Dennis LM Lewis, Professional
British Male Voice Over Artist

This is the most basic and reasonable question. The short answer is that he’s dependable and has the highest standards. But the longer, more considered answer is that, with his background as a script writer, content writer, news writer, and university lecturer, he’s a seasoned storyteller, steeped in the craft of engaging different types of audience.

A voiceover is a narration that viewers or listeners hear without seeing the person speaking. The person who delivers the narration is also somewhat confusingly called a voiceover. But more accurately, this trained professional is called a voiceover artist.

Voiceovers are an easy and highly effective way to direct people to your product or service. You may not be aware that voiceovers could be your secret weapon to help you engage with your target audience, build your brand authority, unify your various teams, and grow a following of loyal customers. With the right voiceover artist, you increase the chances of your message resonating with your audience.

With his years of experience as a university lecturer and writer of video scripts, news stories, and educational and B2B content, Dennis is a natural fit for eLearning, training, and explainer voice overs. But his storytelling prowess and authoritative voice also make him effective for the following types of voiceover:

  • TV and video documentaries
  • Voice recording for on-hold messages and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems
  • Corporate videos
  • TV commercials
  • Audio tours
  • Language listening comprehension material
  • Audio books
  • White board animation

Dennis also provides proof reading of scripts translated from other languages.

Dennis is a British-born male voice over artist who has lived in Canada for many years. He speaks with a neutral London accent but can also approximate a Transatlantic accent. His voice has been described as articulate and clear with a warm, bright, friendly, yet authoritative quality. Dennis’s voice age ranges from the 30s to the 50s.

It depends on the deadline and size of the project, of course. But 24-48 hours is Dennis’s target time frame for getting the recording to you once he’s received your confirmation email and final script.

The most commonly used audio files are mp3 and wav, but Dennis can provide others upon request.

It depends on the size and nature of the project, of course. But most voiceover artists have a basic studio fee and, in some cases, a usage fee, depending on what the recording will be used for. Normally, it’s a percentage of the studio fee and is related to the reach of your audience and how long the finished project will be available.
