DANMADE VOICE SAMPLES

SELECT A TRACK FROM THE LIST BELOW

Most of this audio is dry, with neither effects nor music, so you can hear the sound quality of Danmade Studios' voice booth with its' Sennheiser MKH‑416 shotgun mic through a MIDAS preamp on the Behringer UV1 audio interface, which is rigged straight into an M4 Mac mini. Sessions run on Pro Tools, Cubase and Fender Studio Pro, with Davinci Resolve Studio's Fairlight for video soundtracks. Descript is used to edit audio word processor-style, and for quick-turnaround auditions, its' "remove re-takes" tool makes light, automatic and surprisingly accurate work of removing the mistakes.

DANMADE HIGHLIGHTS

THE DEMO SHELF: SOPHOS

Sometimes the work of which you're proudest, remains on the demo shelf. Here's one such example of this work.



TV WORK: DISCOVERY CHANNEL

My first Hollywood hire, a lengthy show opener for Discovery Channel's Josh Gates Tonight Superhero Special, broadcast around the world.



SHOWREEL PRODUCTION

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 showreels@danmadestudios.com or call +44 7843 945 225.

VIDEO PRODUCTION

TM Forum's Catalysts entrants have been showcased every year with fifty bespoke social media videos made in just three months by a team of creatives. 


In 2024, Danmade scheduled, filmed and edited another fifty speakers. 


This time around, stock video footage, plus music and cutting-edge audio and video effects, were added. Original filmed footage was, on average. at least twice as long per video as in previous years. All existing motion graphics had to be rebuilt, as template versions were not available. This time around, there was no team of creatives, just one man: Dan Akers, and the entire process was finished in just two months.


In this video, Nektarios Georgalas' webcam audio was enhanced with Antares Mic Mod, De-reverb and Studio Sound. Audience engagement was maintained with Descript's EyeContact feature. Music was tightly synced with the visuals, with submixes used under speech and full mixes between sections, creating a highly-polished final product.

"SILENCING THE SCAMS" BY DAN AKERS

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.

"SILENCING THE SCAMS: the creative's guide to avoiding AI's smartest scams" by Dan Akers

Available now from Amazon in

paperback, hardcover and e-book editions. 


Audiobook narrated by Dan Akers coming soon to Audible.

5 DANMADE STARS

"I believe you’re only as good as your last job — so I always go the extra mile. That means MixReady audio you can drop straight into your session within 2 hours, plus fee-free re-records, even for last-minute script changes. That might explain why every review we've (gratefully) received to-date has awarded Danmade Studios a full 5 stars!"
