Your friendly and relatable voice
​
Hello, and welcome to Will Hackett Voiceover! I’m Will – a versatile British, male voiceover artist and actor.
​
My voice is warm, friendly and relatable, with a contemporary 'guy-next-door' sound that can speak volumes to your listeners.
​
From commercials, promos and explainers, to corporate videos, e-Learning and fictional characters, I’ll help you connect with and genuinely engage your audience with my authentic, southern sound.
Take a listen to my demos and if you’re eager to know how well we could work together then drop me a line.
I can't wait to get to work on your next success project!

Demos
If you're looking for a voice that will instantly relate and genuinely connect with your audience, then my friendly, warm and authentic sound can inform and engage in the sincerest of ways.
With a naturally engaging and persuasive delivery, I could be the perfect voice for your business - whether that's creating a warm and personal connection with your staff, or an appealing and magnetic performance for your customers.
Whether you need narration for a documentary, company story, audiobook or kids TV programme, my versatile vocal delivery can stretch from playful to authoritative, and anywhere in between.
When it comes to education, establishing a great connection in order
to inspire and not tell people what to do, is essential. I try to approach e-learning from a place that's nurturing and inviting, bringing your education material to a more connected, human place.
An IVR recording is the first thing a caller hears when contacting a company. It should be welcoming, instil confidence and represent the voice of the organisation. If you need a voice that fits all the above, mine could be just what you're looking for.
About Me
I was born and raised in West Sussex on the south coast of England, and was an excitable child with an extremely creative and expressive side which my parents felt needed nurturing! So, when I wasn’t dressing up and putting on performances to any unsuspecting relatives that I could coax into the living room, I would be attending drama classes and youth choirs and releasing the inner-performer onstage – and I absolutely loved it!
​
Since then, my affection for creative storytelling, breathing life into words and creating colourful and vibrant characters - sometimes from just a few notes and tentative ideas – has become an obsession. ​
​
​​​I also have ten years’ experience working in marketing and communications which means I understand what makes a great advert, explainer video or campaign, and how to bridge the gap between written copy and emotionally connecting with an audience.
​
About My Voice
I have a very versatile voice which has been described as warm, engaging, persuasive and sincere. Naturally southern, I can deliver with a very contemporary sound or in RP, but either way I can adapt to find just the right style of delivery for your message and your brand in order to genuinely connect with your audience.
​
I’m both an actor and singer and have had the privilege of creating some remarkable roles and telling some wonderful stories through words and music. ​​
Whether you’re looking for a genuine and trustworthy 'guy next door' sound for your commercial, an engaging and persuasive style for corporates and e-learning, or a versatile and compelling actor to bring your characters to life, I’m efficient, focused, easy to work with and get the job done, saving you time, money and stress!
​​
Character voices
By default, you'll always get my most genuine and relatable sound. But in those instances where you may need someone, or something, a little more imaginative, I can provide a wide-range of voices to suit all kinds of projects - from fun and eccentric caricatures to characters with a bit more depth.

The Performer
​From comedy to dramatic pieces, and musicals to intimate mic nights, I’m a versatile, trained actor and singer with a tenor voice. This helps bring even greater depth to my voiceover work, and more possibilities should you require a male singer for your project.
​
Because of my experience, you’ll be pleased to know that I’m really comfortable and responsive when it comes to taking direction, and can instinctively adapt my performance to your required delivery.
​
​
My Studio
I've put a lot of effort into ensuring my home studio is to a broadcast quality standard that you would expect from any commercial recording space.
​
I deliver a fast turnaround, commercial level audio equipment and broadcast quality recordings.

Contact
As first impressions count and you only have one chance to get this right, why not send me a small sample of your script to record a custom read and send back to you for free? This way you can decide if your words and my style are a perfect match.
​
I’m only ever happy when you’re happy, so I’ll work closely with you to ensure you get the result you’re looking for - either by directed session or, alternatively, send the script with some direction and I’ll get right to work on it. Have a studio and want me to travel to you? I can do that too!
I can't wait to start working with you, so get in touch and, together, let’s create your next success story.

He did such a great job voicing a Surrey Fire Service Animation for us. He was super professional, friendly and very responsive. His Voiceover is engaging and friendly and fit our brief perfectly.
We would definitely work with Will again and recommend him to others."

Katie Oliver, Senior Producer
"Will played D.S. Jamie Pink in my audio drama podcast 'MISPER' and I can't recommend him highly enough.
He is a great actor and voiceover artist who throws himself into a project and requires minimal direction, yet is happy to take it when needed and follows it perfectly. He has a good home studio setup and sends quality recordings through quickly.
I look forward to working with him again."
​
Lew Bradley, Writer, Producer & Director
"Having worked with Will before, I knew he could bring across our controversial, complex message in a professional and understanding way.
The end result is exactly what we needed to explain something to people that portrayed trust and expertise.
Will definitely understood the project and made us feel at ease. A pleasure to work with again."
