Mike Cooper voices more videos for the Faroe Islands
Another set of videos for Kovboy Film in the Faroe Islands are in the process of production, complete with my voiceover.
Here’s an example. This one features the ferry ride to Tórshavn.
Mike Cooper voices two Investigative Reports for Crime & Investigation Network
This weekend I provided the British voiceovers for two new programmes for AETN’s Crime & Investigation Network.
The programmes are both for the “Investigative Reports” strand. The first is called “Girls, Gangs and the Hood” and focuses on how young girls become embroiled in gangs, how they break the cycle, and what hope there is for a life afterwards. The transmission date is yet to be announced.
The second programme is called “Forensics Under Fire”. Forensic science makes good TV, but does it make good science? New legal standards have highlighted flaws with a number of forensic techniques, but will this mean freedom for innocent convicts? This programme sets out to investigate. The programme is showing at the end of March.
February update from Mike Cooper – Voiceover Artist
Crikey, it’s the middle of February already. Where did January go?
Well, in my case a third of it went on spending some time in the Florida sunshine, and it was worth every penny. January and February are, in my experience, quieter months for work, so it’s a great opportunity to grab some much-needed winter sun without worrying too much that the sky might fall in on the voiceover front.
That said, there’s been plenty of stuff going on. During January I completed the last of the “Britain at War” TV re-versions for Simply Media. They will begin airing in April on Military History, who wanted a change of voice from the one used in the DVD issue, to one of their “preferred” voices (I was surprised and flattered to find out that not only was I one of these, but that I’d been picked from that select group!)
Also in January a programme I voiced for National Geographic, “The Secret World of Fireworks”, got its first showing. I’ll post a clip here and on my YouTube channel as soon as I get chance.
Kovboy Film in the Faroe Islands have been in touch this morning to say that they’re ready to get moving on their final twelve films highlighting life, business and the tourist possibilities in the Faroes. You can see some of these on my YouTube channel too, as well as on the video section of my Facebook page.
Last week I completed the British voiceover for a promotional film for Navteq, who provide location-aware mapping and advertising solutions. I hope to post this online too at some point.
And I’ve just been booked by an independent filmmaker here in the UK to provide the voiceover track for the documentary he’s making on Dracula…
So, though I haven’t written much here, there’s been plenty going on, as well as my regular appearances on the BBC World Service as a newsreader, and as a continuity announcer for both the History Channel and Film24. Remember you can always follow me on Twitter for the latest on what’s happening – and I love to hear from you there too, so drop me a line!

Mike Cooper narrates “World’s Tallest Tree” for National Geographic – new tonight
I recently provided UK voiceover narration for National Geographic Channel’s “World’s Tallest Tree“, which gets its first transmission tonight at 10pm on Nat Geo Wild.
“As the world’s largest and oldest trees, the redwood stirs up big passions. Following two fanatical redwood fans, this documentary introduces us to explorer Mike Fay, who is charting this forest giant’s range, and Steve Sillett – a man who has dislocated limbs and risked death trying to climb the tallest of these magnificent trees. In an epic, year-long journey, and using high-tech aerial laser surveys, discover the little explored environment of the redwoods. Featuring breathtaking footage we take a look into the past, present and future of this spectacular forest dweller and discover what makes the redwood so special.”
