Rachel Sellers - Voiceover for Documentary
Do you need a female documentary narrator? Documentary voice over work is a bit of a favourite of mine! I love recording documentary scripts and learning something while I’m at it! Whether it's a nature and conservation story, a history programme, a medical or science documentary, or a personal passion project, I'll bring warmth, intelligence and a sense of story to your words.
You'll receive exceptional service and fully edited narration with a fast turnaround. Let me give life to your words and your story.

Frequently Asked Questions
What style of documentary narration do you offer? Clear, warm and authoritative narration that lets the pictures and the story lead. I narrate nature and conservation, history, science, medical and personal-story documentaries, adapting my tone from gentle and reflective to confident and engaging.
Can you narrate to picture? Yes. Send me your cut or timecoded script and I’ll record to fit your edit, matching specific timings where needed.
Can you handle scientific and technical terms? Yes. I research pronunciations in advance, including scientific names, medical terms and place names, and I check any queries with you before the session. I’ve narrated science, medical and research films for organisations including Roche Pharmaceutical, BUPA, the NHS and Wageningen University.
Do you narrate for charities and NGOs? Yes. I’ve narrated films for charities, NGOs and public bodies, and I’ll always try to work within your budget for projects that make a difference. See my Voice for Good page.
