Lewis MacLeod

Lewis MacLeod is the most versatile voice talent I've ever had the pleasure of working with in my twenty plus years of recording voice.  He has a vast range of voices in his locker, from assured with gravitas all the way up to a seemingly unending list of madcap comedy characters.  The sheer energy and enthusiasm he brings to the process will often mean that you'll get more out of your script than you thought possible.

When I know the voice talent on the production is going to be Lewis I always have a sense of relief because I know the recording will likely go well, (and of course with a bit of fun), because Lewis is superb at taking a brief and delivering it; Whether it’s a character, or straight read, he always delivers good consistent reads, which he can accurately tweak with further direction. What sets him apart is his ability to add subtle nuances and tweaks that make his performance more believable and convincing, it’s not just a ‘read’ or a ‘performance’, he is that person, that character, and when you hear it, it often creates a ‘wow’ moment. He's a friendly and patient person too, so no matter what tensions may be going on in the control room (or on Zoom!), and however many changes there may be, he just rides it through calmly and without fuss, and making life easier for everyone.

Working with Lewis is often the most fun part of the job. He's incredibly versatile, immediately knows what to do with any comedy script you throw at him and always brings added value. The best in the biz!

Lewis is a big supporter of UK Armed Forces and associated charities, and he has been the guest after-dinner speaker at several functions I have helped organise. This includes an exclusive dinner in the Wardroom aboard the magnificent and historic HMS Victory in Portsmouth. I can honestly say he is one of the most funny and gifted voice actors in the business. His talent for mimicking relevant and memorable characters is unmatched, and the speed and ability to switch between various accents and personalities never ceases to amaze me. He’s a natural at finding the funny in any situation, and his delivery is always spot-on and if he can hold the undivided attention of a room of inebriated service personnel, he can hold any room! In short, Lewis is an incredible talent who brings joy, laughter, and a level of professionalism to everything he’s involved with. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
