Teaching is an artform

Is it necessary to have teaching experience to be a great e-learning narrator?

No it isn’t. But it certainly helps.

During my years as a “working actor” (which mainly meant not working as an actor), I took on lots of different jobs to pay the bills. One of them was teaching. It is the only “non-acting” job I still do today.

Because I love teaching

I find passing on knowledge and experience to (more or less) eager students incredibly rewarding. And I understand how to engage a crowd, even on a topic that they couldn’t care less about.

Learning is an incredibly vulnerable experience

Most of us don’t like being told what to do, so it’s important to approach an e-learning narration from a place that’s not patronising, scolding or condescending but nurturing, inviting and on a level with the audience. 

Over the past few years, I have narrated hundreds of hours of e-learning (Thanks, GDPR) for global companies as well as start-ups. My aim is to take the listener by the hand and guide them through the course, making even the driest topic engaging and entertaining. 

Have a listen to some of my samples below and if you would like to work with me on your next e-learning project, drop me a line.
