Richard Foster · British voice actor
Understand the words.
Connect with the listener.
I’m Richard, a British voice actor based in France, working with clients in the UK and internationally. I bring curiosity, clarity and a feel for the person on the other side of the recording.
A person behind the voice
Corporate narration, documentary, audiobooks, brands, characters and presenting.
Good narration starts with listening.
Who is this for? What do they need to understand, feel or do? Those questions shape the performance.
Experience that helps the script land
My background spans more than 20 years in IT service management, teaching English and training adults in public speaking. It taught me to make complicated material easier to follow and to notice where a listener might lose the thread.
That understanding supports the performance: the right emphasis in a technical explanation, a natural exchange in a learner dialogue, or space for a human story to unfold.
Range with a clear purpose
My work spans corporate and eLearning narration, history and factual series, long-form books, humanitarian stories, commercial campaigns and character roles.
My voice business began in 2019, with work including the Decathlon character performance featured on this site. My earlier IT career included roles at BP, Nortel, NorthLink and Highland Council. The aim in each recording is to serve the script and its audience.
A straightforward person to work with.
A clear brief, an agreed approach and communication throughout production.
Recording & delivery
I work from a professionally treated home studio, delivering clean audio in WAV, AIFF or MP3 to the agreed specification.
Direction & detail
Share references, pronunciation notes and technical requirements. We can discuss a live directed session and agree the connection that suits the production.
More than one voice
For role-plays, scenarios or a cast, I collaborate with trusted professional voice actors and coordinate the production through one point of contact.
On camera, too
My setup includes 4K video, green screen and autocue for presenting and educational video. See the video selection →
