Ian Russell is an award-winning British voice actor working internationally from studios in both the UK and the USA. With a warm, versatile voice and a knack for character work, Ian brings stories to life across video games, animation, commercials, corporate narration, and more.

You might recognize his voice from games like Payday 2/3, Warhammer 40k, Game of Thrones, and Elder Scrolls. His performances have earned him several One Voice Awards, including “Best Gaming Performance (Male)” and “Male Voiceover Artist of the Year.” Whether it’s a gritty villain or a friendly explainer, Ian delivers with style, clarity, and personality.

He’s worked with big names like GlaxoSmithKline, Intel, Asahi SuperDry, Bentley, and the UN, but he’s just as passionate about indie projects and helping new creators find their voice. Ian records on both sides of the Atlantic, and is available either from city based studios or from home using high quality equipment and remote connections like Source‑Connect and ipDTL.

Outside the booth, Ian is active in the VO community—mentoring, speaking, and sharing what he’s learned over the years. He’s all about keeping things creative, collaborative, and fun—whether he’s behind the mic or helping others get started.

Vocal influences include Tom Hiddleston, Jude Law, Sir Ian McKellen and David Attenborough.
