Hello, I’m Tristan Hardman-Dodd — a native English voice-over artist, presenter, and public speaking specialist with a strong track record across commercial, corporate, and creative projects. I’ve delivered voice work for independent films, radio ads, corporate videos, AI platforms, and documentary content, including sensitive and high-stakes topics such as the war in Ukraine. I’m comfortable adapting tone quickly — from authoritative and composed to conversational and engaging — depending on what the project demands. Originally from the UK and now based near the Swiss border in France, I bring both linguistic precision and a broad, international perspective to my work. My background in copywriting and plain English means I don’t just read scripts — I understand them, shape them, and make them land clearly with the intended audience. I’m also an active Toastmasters speaker and the 2024/25 Table Topics Champion — so thinking on my feet, delivering under pressure, and sounding natural without a script is second nature. Alongside this, I perform as an actor with an English-speaking theatre company in Basel, where I’ve starred in a number of stage productions. This keeps my delivery sharp, emotionally grounded, and versatile across a wide range of styles. I also regularly perform with a local improvisation group, which adds spontaneity and authenticity to my voice work. If you’re looking for a voice that is clear, credible, and easy to direct — with the ability to elevate your script rather than just read it — I’d be glad to collaborate. Best wishes, Tristan
