Voice description

Marc O'Neill is fast gaining a reputation within media circles as being one of Ireland's most sought after voices for TV, Radio, Web and various other voice-over applications.

Professional, distinctive, memorable, versatile and dynamic are just some of the words used to describe his voice work.

His background is steeped in the arts; from an early age Marc has had a dedicated passion for acting and the theatre, performing in professional stage plays, musicals and even panto! He is a classically trained pianist, singer/songwriter & has also attended Art College.

Marc was first introduced to the world of voice-over when he started selling airtime for a newly launched radio station in Ireland. Keen to grab the mic and return to his acting roots Marc often wrote and voiced commercials for many of his radio clients. Over time he had enough recorded material under his belt to put together his first commercial demo. He was nominated for an industry "Green Horn Copywriting Award" and was also attracting a lot of interest from casting agents, advertising agencies, & audio production studios.

This is when he decided to take the plunge and establish Soundbite Production in 2008. And he has never looked back since…
“Everyday is exciting & different, I’m very lucky to be working with so many like minded creative people right across the globe”.
