A great voice who cooperates and says yes to the client’s requests. Mike is a team player and focuses on getting the job done right.
— Full Scale Productions, Charlotte, NC, USA
I’ve worked with Mike on a number of productions now. He consistently produces work of an incredibly high standard, delivers on time, without fuss and due to his technical set up, the fact he is located in another country is irrelevant. An absolute pleasure to work with and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

An approachable, co-operative, professional voice talent. Our clients have been pleased and we would not hesitate to recommend him!
— Sound Ideas Media, Sheffield, UK
Spot on in the first take. Great character and a lively voice that suited our production like a glove!
— Hein Lagerweij, Motion Designer, Utrecht, Netherlands
Mike is a superb voice artist — smart, sincere, versatile, and ever the professional. His voice elevates every one of the diverse programs he’s narrated for us, and he always brings a dynamic energy specifically tailored to the project at hand. Moreover, he delivers broadcast quality audio from his independent studio, ensuring a smooth recording session and crystal clear audio every time. An absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.
— Nick Bell, Smithsonian Channel, Washington, DC
Utterly professional, instantly recognisable, sound, safe and authoritative, but with an edge! And a great bloke. If you’re reading this, look no further, you’ve found what you’re looking for. Simply the best.
— Tim Wass MBE. CEO, Safe Haven for Donkeys
I used to want Morgan Freeman to narrate my life story.
But now I want this guy!

Bio and background information about Mike Cooper, British Voiceover Artist

Hi – I'm Mike Cooper, a British Voice Over talent working for clients all over the world

In the BBC Newsroom (London, 2014)

fullsizeoutput_888a.jpeg

In 2014, after two decades in the big city, I left London and followed my dream to live in nature. Nowadays I enjoy log cabin life in the forest with my American husband, two rescue dogs – plus a couple of pet goats and a couple of dozen chickens – in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. See that picture above? It's actually the view from our front deck… So, after all those years in the big city, my morning commute is finally one I look forward to: 17 yards from the house to my home studio, as the sun rises over the hills outside Asheville. And fortunately, high-speed cable internet means I can still be the "guy next door", no matter where in the world you happen to be…

My proudest career achievements have included ten years as a Newsreader for the BBC World Service, and narrating countless TV documentaries for the likes of HISTORY, National Geographic and the Smithsonian Channel – probably because I've always felt most at home behind a microphone and telling stories. I also enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with colleagues by speaking at industry conferences, mentoring beginner voiceover artists for the Gravy for the Brain training platform, and offering coaching and consultancy services on request, for those wanting to make a strong start and hone their skills in this competitive business.

My work has been described as "exceptional", my performance as "spot on in the first take", and my delivery as having an "effortless authority". Others have praised the ease of working with a "consummate professional" "who takes direction well" and is "committed to delivering 150% each time". That's probably why the overwhelming majority of my work comes in the form of repeat business from valued, happy clients who know they can trust me to deliver.

In the Spring of 2018 I became a naturalised U.S. Citizen, which I guess now makes me "The guy next door. Only better. And British. And American!"


I’ve been featured in the following media and events
