About The Voice Artist

Carel has been an award-winning storyteller and professional voice-actor for 35 years. He specialises in character voices and has featured prominently in popular video games. While he prefers adding his own unique flavour to a character, he can emulate the likes of Richard Burton, Stephen Fry, David Attenborough, wizards like Gandalf or Albus Dumbledore, if that's what you're after as a client. He's recorded national broadcast television commercials for BMW, Jaguar, Mini, Porsche, Diners Club, Azamara Club Cruises, Investec, Barclaycard, Arrive Alive, Cadbury's, First National Bank, Rothmans as well as Benson & Hedges cigarettes, South African Airways, SABRIC, AdaptIT, and countless other local and international brands. He's a qualified audio engineer, an accomplished editor, and has a professional home studio recording environment. He runs a full-spec 2020 MacBook Pro running Adobe's Audition 2022 edition. He owns some top-class studio microphones for voice-over work: a Neumann U87, a Microtech Gefell UM900, M940, and M930Ts so he can capture sweeping variations in timbre and tonality depending on your needs and every project he works on. He also has a range of preamps and interfaces including a classic Focusrite Red 6, a Manley VoxBox, a Sound Devices USB Pre2, and a Centrance Mixerface R4R for traveling.
