Anne Moilanen

When I was 18, I moved to Marburg on the river Lahn to study American Studies, Media Science and (Media-)Education. However, I did not only study in Hesse. I also went on a big journey and studied abroad, in Knoxville, Tennessee/USA. When I was a student there and in Germany, I gained first experiences in radio and TV as a freelancer. I worked, for example, for several years for one of Germany's biggest TV stations - for Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen, better known as ZDF. From 2006 I worked for a media agency and later as well for a production company in Augsburg, Germany – as a producer, copywriter, project manager, and voice-over artist. Thus, I had the great fortune to voice e.g. radio commercials, promos, features, images, audiobooks, the news or the weather for many well-known clients such as IKEA, Woolworth, Dehner, Tessloff Verlag, Dr. Oetker, HIT, idee+spiel, Jacobs Krönung, Mayer Schuhe, MIGROS Deutschland, real,-, RENO, Sportscheck, trinkgut, TV Movie, Weltbild or Blumen Risse. 2013 me and partner moved to Finland and become parents. Since 2014 I work from there as a full-time self-employed German voice-over artist and copywriter for customers worldwide.
