Your Words, Elevated: Professional Article Narration for Global Journalism Brands
Audio is a powerful way to connect with audiences on the go. As a professional article narrator, I transform compelling journalism into engaging audio experiences that resonate with listeners.
While synthetic voices may be quick and inexpensive, they lack the authenticity and emotional connection of a skilled human narrator. With a Neutral British English accent—trusted and familiar worldwide—I bring professionalism and sophistication to every project.
Having narrated for Apple News+ and Bloomberg, and with a decade of experience as a newsreader for the BBC World Service, I deliver broadcast-quality recordings tailored to each publication’s tone and style. Whether it’s an investigative piece or a cultural feature, I bring the writer’s voice to life.

What is Article Narration and Why Does It Matter?
Article narration transforms written journalism into an engaging audio experience, allowing audiences to connect with stories anytime, anywhere. In today’s fast-paced, multitasking world, narrated articles meet the growing demand for accessible and convenient content.
While synthetic voices offer a quick and cost-effective solution, they often fail to resonate emotionally with listeners. Human narrators bring depth, warmth, and adaptability to the table, ensuring your stories are delivered with authenticity and clarity.
For global journalism brands, the voice behind the narration matters. A professional narrator with a trusted, familiar accent—such as a Neutral British English voice—can enhance credibility and foster a deeper connection with international audiences. Whether it’s an investigative piece or a cultural deep dive, the right narrator ensures your content not only informs but also captivates.
Investing in human narration isn’t just about creating audio—it’s about elevating your brand, reaching new audiences, and building loyalty through quality storytelling.
How to Choose the Right Voice for Narrating Your Articles
The voice behind your narrated articles does more than read—it embodies your brand. Whether you’re creating audio content for platforms like Apple News+ or delivering exclusive journalism directly to your audience, selecting the right narrator is a critical decision.
Here’s what sets an exceptional narrator apart:
Trust and Familiarity: A Neutral British English accent is often perceived as both trustworthy and sophisticated, making it an excellent choice for global audiences. A narrator who embodies these qualities can add an extra layer of authority and relatability to your content.
Emotional Connection: Human narrators adapt their tone and delivery to convey emotion and nuance, ensuring your audience feels engaged. Synthetic voices, by contrast, often lack the warmth needed to create this connection.
Brand Alignment: The narrator’s voice becomes the voice of your brand. A skilled professional can adjust their delivery to match your tone, whether it’s authoritative, conversational, or inspiring.
Expertise and Adaptability: Unlike synthetic voices, human narrators can interpret context, emphasize key points, and adjust pacing for a polished result tailored to your audience.
By choosing a professional narrator who combines technical expertise with an accent that resonates, you’re not just producing audio—you’re reinforcing your commitment to quality and strengthening your brand’s identity.
Mike Cooper
Mike Cooper is a British voice talent who swapped big city life in London for log cabin life in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
Mike is recognisable from his many years on air with the BBC World Service, and as the narrator of countless television documentaries and a growing library of audiobooks. A disruptive influence in school, Mike's first break in narration came at age six, when his teacher realised he could tell the afternoon story better than her (and she could get a nap by way of a bonus!)
When he's not in his home studio, you'll find Mike enjoying hobby farm life and tending to a small herd of charming pet goats, an adorable mini horse called Annie, and a hornless unicorn called Melodie (among others…)
