John Tunkin — British Voice-Over Logo
Commercial voice-over

Commercials: a precise British tone, never salesman-sound.

In advertising the tone is decided in the first second. My reads bring British clarity — dry, warm or characterful depending on the spot. I work with agencies, creative studios and music producers and know the requirements of TV, cinema, radio and digital. No over-selling, no sing-song, no imitation US voice — credible British English that carries the campaign.

A short sample with your own script — free and without obligation.

01

Dry, warm or characterful — not all at once.

For every spot we agree a clear character up front. I deliver two to three variants per line in distinctly different delivery modes so the edit can move quickly.

02

Timing is part of the job.

TV spots live on exact timings. I match reads precisely to picture, music and cutback. Alternate reads at different tempos are standard, not an upcharge.

03

Usage rights, transparently agreed.

Usage by channel, territory and term is agreed per campaign — instead of an automated price list. Your campaign stays legally clean without you digging through fine print.
