Need a convincing David Attenborough impression to bring your script to life? I’m Darren Altman, a professional voiceover artist and Britain’s Got Talent live semi finalist with more than 25 years’ experience performing celebrity impressions.
I’ve performed my David Attenborough voice for Heart Breakfast, Capital, Channel 5, Ryanair, Apple Music and The National Lottery, across commercials, promos, comedy films and branded content. Send me your script and I’ll be happy to record a bespoke demo and deliver your finished voiceover promptly. You can also direct the recording session live, so we get the style and tone exactly right.
Capital got in touch and asked me to perform my David Attenborough impression for a mockumentary about its breakfast presenters, Jordan, Sian and Chris. The finished film was used across Capital’s social channels and shows how the voice can work brilliantly for comedy, branded content and radio promotion.
Heart Breakfast asked me to write and perform a David Attenborough style narration for footage of Amanda Holden in the studio. The finished film was shared by Heart and shows how the Attenborough voice can turn everyday footage into a funny, polished piece of branded content.
Channel 5 invited me into the Big Brother house to perform live as Sir David Attenborough during a task based around wildlife. It was a real pinch me moment! I directed the housemates as they pretended to be animals, creating a funny and memorable television sequence built around the voice.
Ryanair commissioned me to bring a nature documentary feel to this advert. It’s a strong example of how a David Attenborough style voiceover can make a commercial script funnier, more distinctive and immediately recognisable.
Legendary Hip Hop DJ Charlie Sloth contacted me directly to record a series of David Attenborough style promos for his Apple Music Beats 1 show. The brief combined the calm authority of a wildlife documentary with the energy of hip hop radio.
After reaching the Britain’s Got Talent live semi finals, The National Lottery asked me to film a short masterclass showing how I create the voice, step by step. It demonstrates the detail behind the impression, from the measured pace to the softer, whispered delivery.
This next video was for Dubai Rugby 7s, who wanted my David Attenborough style voice for their promo to give their event a playful natural history feel. It shows how the impression can work for sport, event marketing and social content.
BestHeating commissioned me to record this TV commercial in a gentle, whispered natural history style. It’s not a direct David Attenborough impression, but it uses a similarly calm, whispered delivery to give the advert warmth, humour and a distinctive documentary feel.
