Available to hire
Hi, I’m Sophie Hein Schrier, a British and Franco-Mauritian bilingual voiceover artist born in 1973.
With around 25 years’ experience across radio and TV presenting, TV and radio commercials, corporate videos, dubbing, children’s audiobooks, tours, and documentary narration, I work from my home studio and am represented by agencies such as Speakeasy. I’ve worked with brands and broadcasters across Mauritius, the UK and beyond, including BBC World Service and Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation, delivering content in both English and French.
I offer a versatile, friendly voice that can range from authoritative to warm to playful, with mother-tongue English and French and a convincing Australian accent and varied character voices.
