Welcome! I'm Craig Van Ness, a UK-based American voice actor and audiobook narrator. My distinctive, neutral, Mid-Atlantic accent has been used by major brands, eLearning producers, game developers and audiobook publishers all around the world.
My recent clients include: de Kuyper Brands, Marriott Hotels, DHL, Carnival Cruise Lines, Moosehead Breweries, IBM, National Geographic, DHL, Audible Studios, GAMESYS, CAPCOM Games, Wavin Products, MindFramers Inc, Antikythera Technologies, Northern Light Productions, Hodder & Stoughton Publishing, 2nd Empire Media Publishing, XFINITY Comcast, China Unicom, Philadelphia Visitors Channel and THQ Nordic Games.
As a classically trained singer, I have a natural and instinctive feel for pitch, melody, rhythm, and timing. My voice has been described as light, warm, smooth, friendly, upbeat and engaging. Slightly British and Mildly American - Authentic mid-Atlantic English!
I have my own professional ISDN studio and can deliver broadcast-quality audio to your exact requirements - usually within 24 hours!
