About Karl Brown
My voice is described as friendly, warm, confident, with a bit of an edge, and authoritative.
My natural accent is a mix of Hertfordshire and Nottingham. I took my father’s Hertfordshire accent, with it’s RP-esque style, and growing up in Nottingham softened it, making it less posh, less automatically 1920s “This is the BBC in London.” It’s an interesting take on the British voice over style that works for a range of commercials, corporate narrations, e-learning, and announcer Voice of God reads.
I spent 5 years on student radio before entering the content and web development worlds, so I understand how corporations work and the difference between speaking to the marketing team and the executive board.
When not voicing, I get beaten up in short films, reading stoic philosophy, or I’m training for an event.
