Harmen Sipkema

If you give me the description of a character, I can give you his voice.

I have worked on too many productions, TV commercials and videos to remember them all, for all kinds of products. From cartoons to motorcycles, toys, food and candy, computer hardware etc. Brands and companies that have chosen my voice include - Discovery Channel - Schwarzkopf - Samsung - Philips - Sky Radio - Red Bull - Walt-Disney - Pixar - Animal Planet - SBS Broadcasting - HBO - E-on - RTL - Elie Saab - Wagamama - Hoegaarden - Desperados - Opel - Nuon - WeCycle - God of War - Le Petit Paradis - UNOX ...and many more... But a far more interesting question is: what can I do for you? I have studied Sonology at the Royal Conservatory which makes me very aware of what sound does and how it behaves. I have worked in a number of studios as an engineer, doing post production and music production and recording and lot of work with voices. This experience helps me to intuintively know what works best for an engineer or a director. Through my work for the past 15+ years I know my way around a studio and am familiar with the workflows of the broadcast industry. I have an excellent studio with extreme soundproofing and great acoustics for recording voices. I use Pro Tools HD, Lynx Aurora convertors, a selection of microphones from Neumann, Blue, Gonzo and others and API and Audient preamps. The monitoring side of things consists of a Crane Song Avocet II and a set of PMC MB2s. I am an experienced audio engineer, both in music production and broadcast post production. I have worked on branding and imaging productions for big radiostations all across Europe through companies such as VHU Europe/Pure Jingles, Reelworld Europe and Brandy.
