Bio and background information about Mike Cooper, British Voiceover Artist
In the BBC Newsroom (London, 2014)
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'm based in the Eastern US, which is usually 5 hours behind UK and 6 hours behind Central European Time.
I'm blessed with a great life in the mountains, complete with dogs, goats, horses and more. I love to share the best bits, so I post pictures regularly on Instagram. The latest are below. Please come and join me in #voiceovervalley!
