Hi, I’m Shamira van Elsland, a multilingual voice artist and creative entrepreneur based in Amsterdam. With 15+ years of international experience in voice, music, recording and performance, I combine native Dutch with fluency in English, Spanish and Portuguese to deliver precise pronunciation, tone and emotional nuance for diverse projects. I thrive on translating briefs into natural, expressive vocal performances—ranging from voice overs and toplines to jingles and spoken word for electronic music, branding and wellness concepts. I work well independently on remote collaborations and also lead projects through my label Wolfy and event agency Vanilla Events, weaving storytelling and branding into every project.
