CONTENT, VOICE & MUSIC DANMADE BY DAN AKERS

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 can assemble your footage in the most effective order and design fully animated logos, lower‑thirds, titles, and credits. To discuss your requirements, email showreels@danmadestudios.com or call me on +44 7843 945 225.

VIDEO PRODUCTION

From May–June 2024, Danmade Studios produced 50 YouTube videos for TM Forum’s Catalysts competition—half the time their previous agency needed but without stock footage, music, and motion graphics. In 2023, I singlehandedly managed the entire process in just two months.


I directed submissions from major telecoms companies via Riverside, advising speakers on filming conditions. While some ignored guidance—resulting in dark visuals, echoey audio, or distracting background noise—I salvaged footage using Descript’s Studio Sound and Eye Contact, iZotope restoration, colour grading, and detailed audio/video editing. I sourced music and stock footage from Envato Elements and rebuilt TM Forum’s missing motion graphic templates in Motion.


In this video, Nektarios Georgalas', webcam audio was enhanced with Antares Mic Mod, De-reverb and Studio Sound. Focus maintained with Eye Contact. Visuals and music tightly edited to the beat, with alt mixes under speech and full mixes between sections, creating a polished, engaging final product.

MUSIC PRODUCTION & CUSTOM COMPOSITIONS

DOCTOR WHO THEME - THE DOCTOR DELIA (2025)

A spin on "The Doctor Donna" (fans will know) "The Doctor Delia" is my new 2025 arrangement of Ron Grainer's timeless sci-fi theme. From 1'06", hear my brand new, custom-composed 2nd bridge, with instruments played by the BBC Symphony Orchestra at BBC Maida Vale Studios and sampled by Spitfire Audio, with electronic sounds created and crafted by the legendary audio alchemists of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.


SKILLS:  COMPOSING, MUSICAL ARRANGEMENT, MUSIC PRODUCTION, SOUND DESIGN, MOTION GRAPHICS, CONTENT PRODUCTION

SPOTLIGHT ON DOCTOR WHO THEME 60 (2023)

In "SPOTLIGHT on Doctor Who Theme 60", I take a look at how the original theme for the long-running BBC science fiction series Doctor Who was created, back in the pre-synthesiser days of 1963. 


Featuring the work of audio alchemists Delia Derbyshire, Dick Mills, Peter Howell and Brian Hodgson of the (original) BBC Radiophonic Workshop. 


SKILLS: WRITING, DOCUMENTARY NARRATION, BESPOKE COMPOSITION, MUSICAL ARRANGEMENT, MUSIC PRODUCTION, SOUND DESIGN, MOTION GRAPHICS, CONTENT PRODUCTION
