Ivan (Ozzy) Eyre I Voiceover Email and Phone Number

I'm Ivan Eyre, though my friends know me as Ozzy. Until the early summer of 2024, I made videos (mostly animated) and recorded voiceovers (VOs). I now focus solely on VO work.Back in 2010, I made the difficult but long overdue decision to leave the corporate world behind – a long and not very interesting story, which involved me having a sudden realisation while sitting on an Italian mountainside.What made the decision difficult was not knowing what I wanted to do next. Needing to earn an income, I decided I’d try affiliate marketing while I worked out what I really should be doing.A big part of that was recording and voicing my own promotional videos – something I quickly had to learn to do, as I’d had no previous experience – and, with that, I had unknowingly set in motion a train of events that led to me creating my own video and voiceover business.It began when I was asked to record an audiobook of an autobiography. Then, someone asked me to create a series of animations. The idea that, rather than me trying to sell products, people were seeking me out and asking me to create videos and VOs – and were willing to pay me for it! – was a complete revelation to me. And, so, my business was born.Over the following years, I’ve voiced historical documentaries, E-learning courses, educational and training videos, TV and radio ads. I’ve been Charles Darwin in a series of science podcasts and Eeyore in a remake of Winnie-the-Pooh. I’ve worked with start-ups and global tech companies, international banks and self-employed plumbers, the NHS and The British Council. And I’ve had a blast with them all.Scroll forward to 2024 and my wife of more than 40 years is retiring - and I want for us to spend more time together. Whether she wants that, too, you’d have to ask her! While I have no wish to retire entirely, I do want to do rather less. The greatest pull on my time has always been the video work and so, reluctantly, I decided that would have to go.My VO work, though, is still important to me and will continue, I hope, with no let-up. It’s what set me on this journey with that first audiobook, and it is what has brought me the most pleasure over the years.So, if you need a VO, whether that’s for anything from a 10-second ad to a major documentary series, I’m your man. Get in touch either here or, better yet, drop me an email at ozzy@promosforprofessionals.com – and let’s get started on making something great together!
