Speak like Stephen Fry! Read it and, ‘voice it in the ‘style of’ Stephen Fry!’. These are the sentiments of many clients working with voice actor Colin Cassidy when crafting a narration with storytelling hints of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ mixed with magical tales such as ‘Harry Potter’. It is Stephen Fry’s sense of wonderment and fascination which takes his vocal delivery into a genre of its own.
Reproducing the rich, expressive style of Stephen Fry’s voice is a tall order, but a fun one! Stephen Fry impersonations or, impressions as some like to call them, are one of the many joys and specialties of full-time Voice Actor & Impressionist, Colin Cassidy.
You might be after a mimic for a classy, British, Stephen Fry styled narration, or that classic ‘quirky’, ‘posh and maybe slightly eccentric’ sound, which only a Stephen Fry Voiceover can deliver. Well you’ve come to just the right Hitchhiker in the galaxy.
Just a caveat, as a Voice Actor, and custodian of – what we like to think is – a gifted ability to mimic celebrities, we are obliged by ethics, and law, not to ‘pass off’ as the real Stephen Fry. As such, your project will need to be either a parody or ‘in the style’ of Stephen Fry – but we can chat about that in detail when you get in touch.
I’ve worked with Colin for the past several months on an animated kids show and can vouch for his talent, versatility, and professionalism. His performances regularly had the room in stiches and he’s an absolute blast to direct. You’re in safe hands with Colin. I mean that. Because his hands could crush a would-be studio intruder into a smaller would-be studio intruder.
Colin Cassidy is a very talented dude.
I recently asked Colin to voice an ad that required someone to start reading in their normal voice, then gradually transition into a rampaging Scotsman storming a castle and lopping off heads of unsuspecting Englishmen with his broadsword. Not only did he nail it so amazingly well … he also threw in alternative takes where he suddenly come back to reality in his normal Australian voice at the end. It enhanced the ad and made it better that I envisaged in my head when I was writing it.
A voiceover guy with the brain of a writer is a very valuable combination for ad makers. I thoroughly recommend Colin for your next project.
An extremely talented and versatile voice artist – who is fun to work with.
Highly versatile and capable voice artist. Colin’s enthusiasm and proactive attitude makes working with him a breeze. Any time I see we have Colin booked in for a session, I can relax knowing that his ability to deliver what is required, makes my job easy, but also fun! Highly recommended!
Getting voice on an electronic toy to sound fun, engaging, entertaining but also clear and understandable can sometimes be quite a challenge. Working with Colin makes this very easy and also a lot of fun: I’ve found him to be highly creative, motivated and very entertaining – he’s fantastic at taking a rough idea explained by me and breathing life into it! He has a diverse range of voices, impressions and accents to offer, all of which are fantastic. On top of this and his professional and highly motivated approach to his work, he’s a thoroughly nice chap!
Colin is a quality voice. The reads he has done for our clients’ radio commercials have been of a very high standard. He “gets” the script, his interpretation is spot on & his presentation is expressive & genuine.I can highly recommend Colin for any straight or character voice you may need.
When looking for a new station voice for Vision Radio I listened to a huge number of demos, but kept coming back to Colin Cassidy. The warm tones of his voice, and his genuine delivery have helped take our station sound a big step forward in professionalism. Not to mention his fantastic versatility with character voices and accents etc, and the fact that Coin is a super nice guy and a pleasure to work with!
I would love to recommend Colin for your next voice job, but I won’t… You can’t have him… he’s all mine!
