Rajiv Hasan

Versatile, multilingual, serious, humorous and bursting with creative energy.

Characters and accents - both regional and international - are a particular speciality, but also controlled and professional for straighter reads.

From commercials to characters, podcasting to party songs, voicemail to e-learning, I am your talent.

My first language is English, but I also have a wide range of vocal skills in Italian, French, German and Spanish. I love playing around with different accents within and between, these languages - e.g. a Frenchman talking Italian, a German speaking Spanish etc.

I can perform many British, North American and International English accents, including:

British - RP, Cockney, PathÉ News, Midlands, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, many impressions;

North American - Generic, New York, Italian-American, African-American, Deep South, Simpsons characters and other impressions;

International - Indian (various), Oriental, Middle-Eastern, Australian (from Richie Benaud to Steve Irwin), South African, Italian (many), Spanish, French, German, Mexican, Argentinian, Brazilian, Russian and many more.

I have worked for BBC Radio as a voice actor/impressionist/writer, and have also been a guest impressionist on Italian TV (Quelli che il calcio...).

My commercial work has included jobs for Madame Tussauds, Sky Sports, Virgin Atlantic, Tilda Rice, Nokia and the Post Office.

Recent work has also included narrating a British medical TV campaign; fronting an English language-learning pronunciation website; and writing and voicing various ringtone and voice mail projects.

Comments from recent clients:

"We have used Rajiv on two projects now. His talent, work ethic, and attention to detail make him a tremendous asset to any project. We will definitely be working with him again."

"Rajiv Hasan was a joy to work with. His vocal talent is superb and his instinct is rare. He understood what we were looking for with very little direction. He gets the essence of a piece, then applies his incredible ability, flexibility and cooperation to make it even better than we imagined. We worked with him from across the Atlantic, but the distance was never a factor. Rajiv just nailed it. We look forward to working with him again."
