Transforming words
into adventures...
​
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 lifts words from a page and captivates listeners.
​
From commercials, promos and explainers, to corporate videos, e-Learning and fictional characters, I’ll help you connect with, inspire and engage your audience while moving them to action – whatever that may be.
Take a listen to my demos and if you’re eager to know how well we could work together then get in touch!
Let's take this journey together and make something extraordinary.

Demos
If you're looking for a voice that will inspire and captivate your audience, and really make them sit up and listen, then my friendly, warm and authentic sound can help move them to action - whatever that may be.
With an engaging and authoritative 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 serious, and anywhere in between.
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 the right style of delivery for your message and your brand, providing you with multiple variations in style and tone to perfectly communicate your message.
​
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 persuasive and genuine voice for your commercial, an engaging and authoritative 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!

The Performer
I’ve been acting and singing since primary school, and am just as comfortable in front of an audience or camera as I am behind the mic in my voiceover studio.
​
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 style.
​
​
My Studio
I've put a lot of effort into ensuring my home studio is to a professional standard that you would expect from any commercial recording space.
​
I deliver a fast turnaround, commercial level audio equipment and broadcast quality recordings.

"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."
