Audio Guides.
Rachel Sellers — voice over for Audio Guides, Audio Tours and Heritage sites
A well-narrated audio guide turns a walk, trail, or visit into a story people remember. Whether it's a museum collection, a heritage trail, or a self-guided tour through a historic house, the right voice provides context, warmth and a sense of place — without ever getting in the way of the experience itself.
I also voice immersive exhibitions, interactive installations and escape rooms, where the narration becomes part of the experience.
Rather than a generic showreel, I've recorded a short demo specifically for this kind of work — three distinct styles, so you can hear exactly the register you need for your project.
Listen: audio guides, tours & family trails
Audio-guide narration is one of my favourite kinds of voice work — it asks for range, warmth, and genuine curiosity in equal measure. Over 22 years as a professional voice-over artist, I've developed exactly that range: calm, authoritative collection introductions; first-person historical character voicing; and warm, family-friendly trail narration that keeps younger visitors engaged without ever sounding like a children's TV presenter.
