Experience
Written by Voices.com VP of Marketing Stephanie Ciccarelli: Derek Partridge, a US-based British voice talent whose vocal warmth, integrity, and polyglot capabilities have garnered him international recognition and a variety of world-class voice-over clients. Derek, whose voice embodies elegance, experience, and character, speaks clearly and artistically, gently caressing each word in the Queen’s English. His work has been recognized by 2 Emmys, 2 Tellys and the 2007 Voicey Lifetime Achievment Award.
True to his business slogan “Distinctive credibility for quality productions”, Derek Partridge’s voice is very recognizable. Many listeners have heard his sophisticated oratory on television, radio, educational training CDs, films, and documentaries. Audiences were privileged to watch Derek as news anchor at both RBC TV and Financial News Network (FNN), now CNBC, a position he held for ten years. His work ranges from commercial to long form narration for documentaries, nature films and more, reading each script effortlessly with conviction and grace. Derek also has extensive experience with medical and technical terminology. Seldom are there voice talents that can perform these feats in five languages, an arena of which he is a master.
Although Derek has worked for prominent companies such as the BBC, Intel, Walt Disney, the Red Cross, and a collection of other high profile corporations, he is still accessible and affordable, eager to work with small businesses, non-profit organizations and charities, meeting budgetary constraints and delivering a voice-over performance that will meet their advertising, developmental, and internal needs. For organizations that have modest budgets and a worthy cause, Derek is prepared to voice their projects for a reduced fee, often for less than initially expected.
VP of Marketing Stephanie Ciccarelli says, “Derek continues to be a bright light and cornerstone among the talents that we serve at InteractiveVoices.com. He is thorough, extremely talented, and a delight to work for. We value our relationship with Derek very much.”
