Looking for a professional Santa or Father Christmas voiceover for an advert, animation, game or Christmas campaign? I’m Darren Altman, a British voiceover artist and character actor with more than 20 years’ experience recording commercials, children’s content, toys, games and animation.
My Santa voice can be warm and traditional, big and jolly, gentle and magical, or more comic and mischievous. I can adapt the performance to suit children or adults, from a classic Father Christmas storyteller to an energetic commercial Santa.
I’ve voiced Father Christmas for UNICEF, BBC CBeebies, BBC Radio Wales and RTÉ Kids. I record from my broadcast-quality London studio and can provide a short custom sample from your script.
This self-produced demo features a warm, jolly and characterful Santa Claus voiceover suitable for TV and radio adverts, animation, games, apps, toys and festive campaigns.
“That’s the Santa I’ve been searching for for the last five years!”

In this animated short for RTÉ Kids in Ireland, I voiced Santa as he is thoroughly outwitted by a determined little girl called Grace.
It shows a more comic and animated side of the character, with reactions, timing and plenty of personality.
Alongside the RTÉ Kids animation above, I was chosen to voice Father Christmas for this UNICEF online children’s campaign.
I have also voiced Santa for a BBC CBeebies online drawing game and for BBC Radio Wales.
Santa may be the star of Christmas, but he is not the only festive character available.
This self-produced Christmas character mix includes elves, snowmen, reindeer and another fun take on Santa.
All recordings are made in my purpose-built broadcast-quality studio using a Neumann U87 microphone. I supply clean, fully edited audio ready for production.
You can direct the session live over Source-Connect, Cleanfeed, Zoom or Teams, or send the script and let me record and edit the finished read.
A short custom sample is also available if you want to hear the character using your own wording before booking.
Send me your script, usage details and deadline and tell me whether you need a warm traditional Father Christmas, a big commercial Santa or something more comic and animated.
I’ll confirm my availability and provide a quote for the recording.
