About me

My name is Darrel Reynolds, the founder of ‘Darrel Sounds Nice’ and a voice actor with mixed British and Jamaican roots.

I think voice acting has always been a part of my life. As a young child I spent countless hours imitating the voices of TV shows with my brothers. I’d go to school and try my best to fit in by copying how my friends spoke and when I went home, my Dad would always insist I speak correctly. With this combination, I became a vocal chameleon and now have multiple voices at my disposal, ready for any situation.

I began acting professionally at the age of ten, thanks to a drama teacher at my school, and I spent 12 years playing roles in films, plays, and TV shows.
I’ve found acting offers a useful parallel with voiceover work because ‘acting’ is the most critical component. This skill allows me to ensure the listener feels the message is authentic.

My next venture was out into the glamorous world of project management. Although it wasn’t an obvious transition, I spent eight years embracing endless challenges and undertaking projects I am truly proud of. Time as a project manager taught me three things, the importance of balancing the brief, budget, and timings.

I’m also known to write and record Hip-Hop music under the artist name ‘dreykickit’. It’s a world I’ve enjoyed for a long time that involves a unique mastery of language, melody and flow.
Rhythm and range are both things I pride myself on. I incorporate them into every voice recording because pace and intonation, whether slow or fast, bright or dark, dramatically transform the meaning of a piece.

Along the way, I’ve had family, friends, colleagues, clients, radio presenters and random people say they like the sound of my voice. ‘Darrel Sounds Nice’ is the place I use it, where every voice is believable and has a conversational tone that connects with the listener emotionally.
