MATT SYKES
VOICE ACTOR
ENGAGING, TRUSTWORTHY, VERSATILE, WARM
I am Matt, a full-time voice actor with a passion for creating and using character to connect with listeners on a deeper level.
When I work on a new script, I create a character that matches the energy and intention of the written words, delivering a bespoke, tailored product that will bring your project to life.
Stories come alive through the characters that inhabit them. Character work is central to everything I do. From dramatic to corporate, characters are perfect vehicles of narrative, meaning and intention.
I love crafting characters, whether they be for a larger than life animation or for the polished gravitas of a business promotion.
By creating authentic, relatable characters tailored to the story that my client wishes to tell, I forge deeper, more personal connections with the audience.
Highly versatile, with a proven track record in explainer animations, corporate videos, commercials and elearning, I deliver the highest quality work by understanding clients' needs and tailoring my approach accordingly.

I will meet your brief by telling your audience a compelling story, bringing commercial insights to life in a relatable human manner.
I love my work, and I am continually developing my skills, including through professional coaching, attending workshops and creating my own fun videos and art.
This affords me the opportunity to refine my skills as a voice actor and gain valuable insight into my creative process, as well as those of people I work alongside, such as: animators, artists, script writers, video editors and producers.
I use this to inform my interactions with clients, meaning I can offer a more sensitive, nuanced, and well-rounded approach.
Hi, I'm Matt.
I grew up in South West London. I fell in love with the spoken word very young, listening to tapes of the Goon Show that my grandmother gave to me. From there, I found audiobooks and radio dramas including The Hobbit, The Winter King, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Kidnapped. I was always a bit of a parrot, mimicking voices and accents I heard around me.
A love of languages and communicating across boundaries led me to pursue a degree in Japanese. Spending a year in Japan taught me the importance of communication in developing relationships.
My previous career as a massage therapist, during which I volunteered at Great Ormond Street Hospital, showed me the power of human connection, and how communication is so much more than words.
My first strides towards becoming a voice actor began over lockdown when I was cast for an audiobook. It was a fantastic challenge for me, and it showed me just how much there was to learn in order to find success in this industry.
So I took my time, developing and refining my skills with intensive coaching at RichCraft, while doing a variety of voice work, from corporate videos to audio drama. When they knew I was ready, I hit the ground running and now, I'm living my dream!
