VOICEOVER EXAMPLE "SOPHOS DEMO" (CLIENT'S OWN VISUALS & MUSIC. DANMADE BRANDING & VOICE BY DAN)
Sometimes the work of which you're proudest, remains on the demo shelf. Here's one such example of this work.
VOICEOVER EXAMPLE: "JOSH GATES TONIGHT - AROUND THE WORLD PRODUCTIONS FOR DISCOVERY CHANNEL"
My first Hollywood hire, a lengthy show opener for Discovery Channel's Josh Gates Tonight Superhero Special, broadcast around the world.
AUDIO, VIDEO, MUSIC, & VOICEOVER EXAMPLE: "DAN AKERS' REAL VOICREEL 2023" WITH THEME & MOTION GFX BY DAN
From audiobooks and ads to e‑learning, explainer videos, and public transport announcements, Dan Akers has voiced scripts across every available platform.
My old 2023 voicereel showcases highlights I’m especially proud of:
Thailand Tourism ads for Low&Behold FKC (campaign voice on UK radio and TV), multiple Dulux spots for Akzo Nobel (former Dulux Trade brand voice across the UK and Europe), American Express e‑learning, and pmy London Underground voice, reprised for the London 2023 New Year fireworks event, which was broadcast to 12 million viewers on BBC One, BBC America and YouTube, superbly mixed by David Wakefield and his team at On The Sly Audio Production.
Whether you’re a voice artist, performer, broadcaster or corporate client, I'll assemble your footage in the most effective order and design animated logos, lower‑thirds, titles, and credits. To discuss your requirements, email info@danmadestudios.com or call +44 7843 945 225.
VIDEO, WRITING & PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXAMPLE: "TM FORUM", 1 OF 50 YOUTUBE VIDEOS PRODUCED BY DAN
In 2024, 50 people from 50 telcos in 50 places were filmed on their smartphones, each pitching their TMForum Catalyst project. Low-quality sound was painstakingly remastered and wandering eyes were re-focussed on the camera. Music was added to all 50 videos, with every track mixed and cut to the visuals. Hundreds of stock clips were auditioned and chosen, and thousands of subtitles manually-encoded. Titles, captions, slides and more (motion graphics from the year before) were re-created to pixel-perfection. 50 filming dates, a handful of re-takes and 1 remake. Documents written, training given, spreadsheets updated, a QR code and summary for every submission, and with the client's permission, they were all live by the first week of June. 50 videos in 2 months made by just 1 producer and not a trace of generative AI.

AUDIO, VIDEO, VOICE, MUSIC & WRITING EXAMPLE: "SPOTLIGHT ON DOCTOR WHO THEME 60" MINI DOCUMENTARY

Featuring the work of audio alchemists Delia Derbyshire, Dick Mills, Peter Howell and Brian Hodgson of the (original) BBC Radiophonic Workshop. The documentary is followed by Dan's first arrangement of Ron Grainer's timeless theme for a timelord.

'Silencing the Scams' book
The studio time was real. The work was real.
The client was an Agentic AI-powered robot.
In Silencing the Scams, voice actor Dan Akers reveals the chilling true story behind a $3,000 gig for a flawless, professional client who turned out to be a synthetic human.
This gripping exposé dives into a terrifying new reality for the creative industry: Agentic AI designed to build trust, solicit work, steal the assets, and vanish without a trace.
Discover the inside story of the ultimate digital heist, the existential threat Gen-AI poses to the future of creative work, how Agentic AI scammers impersonate clients, how identity, data and audio can be weaponised, why voices, freelancers and the neurodivergent are being targeted, and how you can avoid becoming the next victim.
Clear, urgent and fiercely relevant this book is essential reading for voice artists and digital creatives navigating 2026 and beyond.
