Jonathan Clays Voiceover Artist
As a professional voice over artist and awards show voice over you’ll have heard my voice just about everywhere: for example on some of the best known tv shows, films, Youtube channels, tv/radio commercials, plus in places like The Lloyds Building and The Mersey Tunnel. Or, how about advertising the Danish stages of The Tour de France 2022 across most of Europe, selling smartphones in SE Asia or Heineken globally for instance?
I’d describe my voice as neutral English, natural and believable with authority, with irony fitted as an optional extra. However, if it’s a character voice you’re looking for…
CHARACTER VOICES
Need a football commentator voice over artist? As arguably the UK’s leading authentic football commentator voice over my voice is widely used for TV, radio and online commercials, documentaries, in-store and interactive and PC games. Consequently, it’s regularly used by some of the biggest brands on the planet for very high profile campaigns.
My 1940s style Pathe News Reader impression also goes down quite well.
I’ve also been the in-show voice of many of Britain’s best loved TV shows for that ‘BIG’ Saturday Night TV sound. As a result, you can book that same Sat Night Takeaway style for live ‘Voice of God‘ awards ceremonies which are always great fun to do. “And the nominations are…”

Latest News: 9th December 2025: "And the nominations are..."
Well that pretty much wraps up my Autumn 2025 awards season, and as a live Voice of God awards announcer, what a corking Autumn it’s been – my busiest year yet. Working with some really talented people, it really has been a lot of fun. I’ve loved every single event.
To not even remotely quote Liam Neeson, being a live awards VoG requires a very particular set of skills acquired over a very long career. Performing live in front of 600 expectant paying strangers isn’t for everyone. Me, I love it. Add to that the ability to ad-lib with high-profile professional comedians plus the disciplines required to hit the audio visual cues. All this whilst wearing a comms headset and often hearing your A/V colleagues talking in one ear while you’re performing.
Awards events are expensive, often lavish events with many different components. You get one chance to get it right. I’m very appreciative to each of the event managers who’ve put their trust in me this year to do just that. I’ve loved every minute.
I’d say I’m particularly adept at adding an element of ‘fun energy’ to an event. Call it gameshow irony meets deadpan tongue-in-cheek, while always respecting the event and the award recipients.
Have a listen to what I mean at my VoG page.
Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings.
