Oli Hein
British Male Voiceover
The words you want , the way you need them.
ABOUT
I'm Oli Hein, a British male voice over artist. I live in Gloucestershire, UK. In a previous life, I was a radio and TV presenter in Mauritius, which is where I first gained my experience in voiceovers.
Since then, I have also lived and worked in many places abroad, including New York and Paris.
Clients have described my voice variously as 'soothing', 'persuasive', 'confident', 'engaging', 'the right level of playful' with 'crystal clear enunciation'.
SKILLS & SERVICES
My particular skill is in languages and accents. Being half-Mauritian, I was brought up trilingual in English, French and Mauritian Creole.
More broadly, with my linguistic background, I have a good ear for both English and foreign accents which I can replicate accurately. These include (but are not limited to):
English – neutral; Australian (urban and non-urban); New Zealand; American
French – Parisian; Mauritian
Because of my linguistic training, I am comfortable using words and sounds of almost all Indo-European languages.
Services
I am experienced in a wide range of voiceover work, including:
- TV and radio commercials
- Documentary narration
- Corporate videos
- E-learning
- Explainers
- Animation
- Foreign language dubbing
- Audio books
- Audio tours
- Role Play Video games
These can all be tailored according to individual need.
I use a Røde PodMic microphone and a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Interface as I find these give the best clarity of sound from my home studio. I can provide audio files in both mp3 and WAV format.

PARTNERSHIPS
Several companies have chosen to partner with me, as it gives them the opportunity to showcase both the visual and audio elements of the finished project more holistically.
Featured here is Studio Mitchell in Devon, UK. They produce a range of high quality 2D and 3D animation primarily for businesses. By being their first choice V/O artist, prospective clients are able to get an even better feel for what the end result might look like before production even begins.
For example here is a video animated by Studio Mitchell, commissioned by the RSPB and voiced by me. This video was picked up by many media outlets upon release.
A very different partnership is with Beatrice Hein, my daughter. A highly-regarded child voiceover, she has most recently been providing voices for a series of educational books for children who are learning English as a second language.
("Beatrice really sounds SO GOOD! It was a pleasure editing her parts in. She really was the best Kid in that production. A real professional with a huge talent!" Tobias, Berlin)
