I'm Sarah Ellis, a warm, articulate voice actor and English educator based in Lakehurst, Ontario. I bring a clear, expressive voice well suited to educational narration, eLearning, instructional content, and character dialogue. With twenty-plus years of reading aloud, storytelling, and guiding students through complex ideas with clarity and confidence, I deliver warmth, precision, and trust in every project. Before focusing on voice work, I spent over two decades teaching English and creative writing, which gives me a writer's sensitivity to pacing, tone, and audience. I record from a quiet, treated home studio with professional equipment, delivering clean, broadcast-ready audio and quick turnaround. I thrive on collaboration, direction, and independent work to capture the exact tone you’re looking for.

    Sarah Ellis - Smells Like Treasure Excerpt by Suzanne Selfors
    When I narrate the author’s note in Smells Like Treasure, I slip into a playful, conspiratorial tone — the kind of voice that feels like I’m letting the listener in on a secret. It’s warm, a little mischievous, almost like I’m inviting them backstage before the real adventure begins. There’s a wink‑to‑the‑reader energy in the way I deliver it, as if I’m saying, “Come closer — you’re going to love where this story goes.”
    Sarah Ellis - Elevate Performance - Internal Communications for a Global Corporation
    Created for an introduction video for a Global Corporation event, this voiceover was meant to mimic a pharmaceutical advertisement. Listen for my quirky, over-the-top, humorous, but ultimately charming British delivery.
