Your story in more detail.
Many companies use the internet to not only present their company and sell products, but also to provide more information for their clients and customers. Video content means visibility, and good video content means good communication. A lot of my work consists of this type of production: not an overly selling tone, but more measured and convincing. The goal is to explain the ins and outs of your story as well as possible .

DocSave
These acupuncture products are pretty new to most Europeans, so a little explanation is in order. This is a good example of really quiet and step-by-step explanations. If I'm really honest, this is one of my favourite ways to speak.
Local City Promotions
Governments and cultural organisations need promotion and documentation, just like any other. I have provided voice recordings for for example the cities of Zaanstad, Almere, Utrecht, Elspeet, Vierhouten.
Teaching is learning.
Educational projects are always amazingly interesting to do, because they always teach me something new. I love explaining things to children and adults that I've only just learned myself. This allows me to be excited as well as convincing. My voice is relatively neutral, so it does not get in the way of the material.
Mozaweb
Mozaik Education from Hungary asked me to provide the dutch voice for their online learning environment, Mozaweb. It contains hundreds of very detailed 3d animations, in which the students can discover architecture, biology, history, science and much more, at their own pace. This project is ongoing, and might be my favourite educational project yet.

Professional Internal Presentations
Businesses often need internal videos, or materials they only send to clients. This needs to be done professionally and with a friendly voice. I can't show you examples because this material is not for public use, but I can tell you a bit more about some of the projects I've worked on.

A Comforting Voice.
Health care requires a voice that is friendly to everyone listening, sometimes taking a bit more time to explain difficult subjects in detail. Many of these projects deal with mental health, like eGGZ Centrum, Inpreze, Jouw Omgeving, and Suus Hessling's film Retrogenese. The subject of mental health care is a topic I care deeply about, and therefor am always glad to be trusted with them.

In the installation 'Oog in Oog', developed by Monobanda and written by Jorrit Thijn, visitors get the chance to live out a scenario that actually happened in my street in Utrecht.
