I am a voice actor and writer with experience in, and a passion for: voice-over, voice acting and writing. My US American accent and my own natural Received Pronunciation British adjacent accent have been tested in providing a wide range of voice-over and acting content. That being said, there are various accents I can produce that have not and I'm itching to change that. In addition to voice work, I have previously served as script editor for a true crime youtube channel. The original scripts were, as described by the client, written by ai and I was brought in to add a much needed human touch. In the past I have had a professional disagreement with a client regarding ethical boundaries. Please note that I will not help create content that promotes misinformation of any kind.

My father had this expression, "The great thing about working for yourself is that you get to work half-days. What you do with the other twelve hours is entirely up to you." A little corny but the sentiment stuck. My name is Dan and I'm professional voice artist and script writer. I've been in the business for nearly a decade and I can honestly say that I love what I do. I have a neutral, received accent which gives me a lot of scope in working on projects. I've worked on a variety of projects ranging from audio-books, explainer videos, marketing materials to even character animations and video games. If you need: - Quality voice-over work produced in a professional studio - Sound editing with a keen ear for detail - Script writing and editing services - A guarantee of the utmost care along with a 100% commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Then I'm your guy! I love what I do and I'd love to work with you to get the absolute best out of your project. For more demos, check out *danboud.com* along with additional information.
