Need a Jeremy Clarkson impression for an advert, promo, web video or comedy script? I’m Darren Altman, a British voiceover artist and celebrity impressionist and I record Clarkson-inspired voiceovers for commercial and comedy projects from my broadcast quality studio.
Jeremy Clarkson is one of the most recognisable faces on TV, presenting Top Gear, The Grand Tour, Clarkson’s Farm and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. This is a recorded vocal impression for parody, comedy and commercial scripts that need a dry, opinionated and authoritative British presenter-style delivery.
Here are examples of my Jeremy Clarkson-style voice work, including motoring-style narration, commercial scripts and comedy/parody reads. The voice can be pushed bigger and more ridiculous, or kept closer to Jeremy’s presenting style, depending on the script and your needs.
Here’s a Clarkson-inspired motoring parody in the style of a big British car review. It uses the familiar dry, opinionated delivery for a comic product-style script, with a pay-off at the end.
This is a clip from my Britain’s Got Talent audition, where I broke down how I perform a Jeremy Clarkson-style voice impression before turning the voice into Gok Wan.
Britain’s Got Talent asked me to record a Jeremy Clarkson-style quiz host voice for ventriloquist Jamie and Chuck in the BGT Final. They were performing a comedy sketch and needed a big, dry, authoritative presenter-style voice for the segment. I recorded it from my studio and sent it over for the show.
If you need a Clarkson-style voice for a campaign, a human impression gives you timing, varying intonation, script judgement and proper performance. I can take direction live, suggest small script tweaks, improvise where useful and record different versions so the read lands properly.
That’s especially useful for comedy, parody and commercial scripts, where the pause, emphasis and attitude matter as much as the sound of the voice.
All voiceovers are recorded from my broadcast quality studio using a Neumann U87 microphone. I supply clean, fully edited audio ready for production.
You are also welcome to direct me during the recording process live, over Zoom, Teams, Cleanfeed or Source-Connect. If the script needs a small tweak to make the impression work more naturally, I can help with that too.
Ready to get started? Send me your script or a short brief and I’ll let you know what will work best.
