Connect With Your Audience

 

Hi, I’m Josh Shirt!

I have been a pro British voiceover artist for 15+ years.

I record scripts in my native Northern English accent and Neutral RP English.

You can hear my voice around the world including in past work for the BBC, Microsoft, Samsung, and Lego (to name just a few).

If you need an engaging and real voice for your project, I look forward to hearing from you.

Available for Both Northern Accents and RP (Universal British) Accents

My native accent is a kind of hybrid of the Derbyshire accent and Cheshire accent. When speaking in my native accent I sound like a bloke somewhere near Manchester.

In 2011, I moved to London and I began to southernise my vowel sounds to perform with a Received Pronunciation (RP) English accent. I now offer voiceovers in either accent.
