Looking for Marty McFly and Doc Brown impressions for a commercial, animation or comedy project? I’m Darren Altman, a professional voice actor and celebrity impressionist, and I perform both contrasting characters in one recording session.
Marty has the fast, youthful energy associated with Michael J. Fox, while Doc Brown has the rasp, urgency and eccentric intensity associated with Christopher Lloyd. Casting one experienced performer for both voices makes it easier to shape the timing, pace and chemistry of the complete exchange.
Whether you need a recognisable Back to the Future parody voiceover or original characters with a similar comic contrast, I can tailor the performance to your script, timings and intended audience.
This commissioned parody animation is the clearest example of the two voices working together. Broadcaster Stuart Clarkson asked me to record it for RadioToday founder and editor Roy Martin to mark Roy’s 40th birthday. I performed both Marty McFly and Doc Brown, creating the complete conversation during one voiceover session.
These voices work particularly well when a script needs recognisable 1980s movie energy, rapid comic dialogue or the contrast between an eager young hero and an eccentric scientist.
They can be used for:
For parody adverts, character voiceover has to do more than sound familiar. The performance must communicate clearly, hit the required timings and serve the joke. I can work closely to picture, follow precise direction and provide alternative reads wherever the edit needs additional choices.
If a direct impression is not appropriate for your production, I can move the performances away from Marty and Doc and create an original pairing that retains the useful contrast in age, pace and personality.
I have more than 20 years’ experience across commercials, promos, animation and character voiceover, with clients including Disney, Netflix, Sky, ESPN and Coca-Cola.
I record from my professional London voiceover studio, built as a broadcast room within a room, using a Neumann U87 microphone. Sessions can be directed live through Source-Connect, Cleanfeed, Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Alternatively, I can record independently from your brief and provide a selection of takes.
Final audio can be supplied as clean, edited and clearly labelled by character. I can match existing picture, record to an exact duration and provide separate files for Marty, Doc or any original characters. Delivery timings will always be agreed before recording.
If your project needs a Marty McFly impression, a Doc Brown impression or both characters together, send me your script and project details.
I’ll confirm my availability, provide a quote and record the voices for your production.
