If you have a project not listed, please contact me to discuss your requirements. I am extremely flexible and always love a new challenge. I am also happy to discuss budgets on certain projects, as I love to help collaborate and support newer creators.  

What Serena Sykes is looking for

My specialist areas are commercial, explainers, e-learning and character work, although I am open to consider any projects you feel my voice is suited for.


I can turnaround small projects extremely quickly when needed and am also happy working on more long term projects, or voicing multiple small or one-line characters/voices. 


For gaming and character work, I love being involved as early as possible and to really get to know the project in depth. I am comfortable and experienced working through the character development phase as part of a team, but also happy to work in fully directed sessions for quick turnarounds.
