Listen To My Sports Commentator Voice

Listen To My Sports Commentator-Style Voice OverAs a professional voiceover artist, one character style I get asked to deliver regularly is a traditional sports commentator! These type of reads are always fun to voice, as I get a chance to play, draw from my love of sport and football and generally get animated! In England when we think of football commentators, names like John Motson, Barry Davies, Clive Tyldesley, Peter Drury and David Coleman Spring to mind, as well as Sky Sports commentators Martin Tyler and Alan Parry. They all have distinctive styles and tones, yet they all retain the quintessential sound of a sports broadcaster.

Experience

I’ve been contacted to voice sports commentator voices by such brands as Cadburys. I had the pleasure voicing the national 118 118 tv ads a few years ago, where the “men with moustaches” played a whole series of sports, from football to tennis, marathon running and more. We had great fun in the sessions and laughed a lot! The brief was to go OTT with the commentator style as the adverts weren’t to be taken seriously.

This was a finalist in the VOX Awards 2021. An in-store advert for ASDA, for Budweiser beer and it really builds!
