This is what others say
It's always a pleasure working with Bart. He's always cheerful and delivers top-notch work. Highly recommended!
Ferry van der Heijden
Nice and Hip - Audio & Video
Bart is a passionate, versatile, and collaborative voice, both personally and vocally. Whether it's a Dutch commercial, a polished English corporate movie, or an exaggerated location sketch (he can act too!). Every collaboration has been a pleasure; he has my voice!
Robin Lommerde
Videomaker YourStory Video
Most voice-over artists have a good voice, but I also have a good connection with Bart. And I notice that this "connection" takes the final product from good to very good. Bart understands exactly what I mean, offers suggestions, and is a true voice chameleon. Choose Bart. But preferably not all of them, because then he won't have time for us anymore ;-)

Channel Orange
Bart is not only professional and experienced, but also a fantastic person to work with. His personality is one of a kind, and you can hear it in his voice. Our clients and partners respond very positively. We highly recommend Bart for any audio recording needs you may have!
Felicia Lin
Owner and video consultant LIN Video Marketing
With just a few quick stage directions, Bart quickly knows the tone of voice you're looking for. He also gives his own creative freedom to a project, allowing him to truly make the text his own. It's always a pleasure working with Bart!

I don't need to explain Bart much. His voice is clear and powerful, yet also very pleasant. Working with Bart is guaranteed to be a joy: he responds immediately, thinks along with you, and delivers quickly. My clients are always enthusiastic.
Monika Knottnerus

Bart knows how to perfectly adapt his unique voice to the desired tone of voice. He delivers quickly, picks up on changes well, and is incredibly friendly: a winner!

How does it work for you?
Every project begins with a briefing. The script is a good starting point. And the more you tell me what you want, the better I can tailor the audio to your needs.
You already have my vote. What's next?
I'm happy to help you get started. All the relevant parties are in my network. From filmmakers and sound studios to the creators of your entire production. You have my network!
Free retakes
Want to change the tone of voice a bit? No problem! A free retake of an agreed-upon script is always included in the price.
Time
A comfortable speaking pace is 120 to 150 words per minute. Any faster and your message will be less effective. So, ensure you strike a good balance in your delivery.
Post-processing
I outsource all audio post-production to an experienced audio engineer. I personally deliver raw, clean audio in the desired format and resolution. Naturally, it's free of errors.
Pronunciation
Are there words that can be pronounced in multiple ways? I'll send you an example to see if we agree.
Muziek
It's the tone that creates the music, but it's also the other way around. Is there music behind your video? If I can listen to it first, it helps determine the speaking rhythm and tone of voice.
Tone of voice
What tone of voice do you want? Think "friendly," "informative," "selling," or whatever else you'd like to hear. Together, we'll find the best solution.
Target audience
Business client, young or old audience, medical student? Knowing who the text is aimed at helps me choose the most appropriate tone of voice.
About me
Hi, I'm Bart Kooiman, a voice-over artist and voice actor. I grew up in Amsterdam and live in De Meern. Brands like Head & Shoulders, Heineken, Listerine, the Red Cross, and Sonos have already used my voice.
Even as a little boy, I was a very expressive person. Whenever someone was invited to read or present something, I was always right there, jumping for joy. That's how, as a 13-year-old, I ended up narrating a television program, where I was the voice of the 16 foster children in a generous Moldovan family.
From my student days, I performed roles in classical and contemporary plays. I did this alongside studying health sciences and later alongside an office job as a project manager and consultant. There, I was responsible for translating complex information into understandable language. In 2019, I started as a voice-over artist. For me, it quickly became the most beautiful profession in the world.
I absorb every new assignment. I always love reviewing a new script, to (if necessary) translate slightly overly formal language into colloquial language. I love delivering a serious text in an accessible way in my home studio, or breathing life into a character with a distinctive voice. I enjoy working with clients to ensure their message truly resonates with the target audience of their production.
Outside of my studio, I'm bouncing around with my wife and three kids. I enjoy dark craft beer with my buddies and occasionally hit the piano keys or a volleyball. I'd love to hear what my voice can do for you.
