FAQ for new narrators

  • Being a narrator is not an easy task. You need to have technical flair, a great understanding of how your voice works and be self-driven. Our narrators not only record their audio, they fix mistakes, re-record and make sure no other sound gets recorded. We therefore expect our narrators to produce a clean recording with as few mistakes as possible - not everything can be fixed in editing.

  • We’re excited that you want to become a narrator!

    Once you have applied through our online narrator application, we will review your voice profile and if approved, you will be added to our catalogue.

  • We know you are excited to get started as a narrator at Swann Studio. Once we have your application, we will look through it. If you match a voicetype that could fit into our catalogue, we will reach out with more information.

  • You don’t need a formal education or a specific background to become a Swann narrator, but we expect that you have a professional approach to working with your voice.

    You might be a commercial speaker, a voice-over actor, or maybe a journalist, which has provided you with valuable insights as to how voice-work works.

    If you don’t have any experience using your voice, you can apply to audition - reach out to one of our producers for more information.

    If you have your own recording equipment, please contact us and we will make sure the final recordings will meet our high standards. Once the studio is calibrated, please do not move the equipment, change any settins or move stuff around in the room, as it can alter the sound picture.
