Meet the team.

 

Elinor Hamilton – Co-Founder and Managing Director

Elinor spent 15 years as a freelance voiceover, before launching eLearning Voices to meet the increasingly varied needs of her clients. For reasons she doesn’t quite understand, complex medical narrations are her favourite scripts – particularly ones with very long and difficult words. Elinor manages our roster of global talent and is responsible for casting and creating the larger multi-voice projects. In her spare time, she wrangles a selection of offspring, runs up mountains in the rain for fun, and presents her highly-acclaimed podcast, Tales from the Tannoy.

 

Ed Gardner – Business Director

Ed is a doctor of neuroscience by background, but has spent the last 25 years in business and technology consulting, with a particular interest in the psychology of learning. He’s not allowed anywhere near a microphone, but spends time developing the business and looking after our strategic partners and alliances. He enjoys ultra marathons for some reason, and once got a distinction in a singing exam for pretending to be the Artful Dodger at the age of 42.

 

Eddie Delag – Head of Production

Eddie is also known as Ed, which can get confusing, but only one Ed has multiple industry awards for audio production to his name. A skilled audio editor, he’s no stranger to tight deadlines and quick turnarounds. With experience on both sides of the microphone, from long eLearning narrations for multinational firms, to global games like FIFA and national TV ads, he’s lent his scissorhands to a variety of different productions. He has a dog, but bitterly regrets it.

 

Camilla Laxton – Head of Translation and Localisation

Camilla is arguably the industry’s most knowledgeable translation and localisation expert. With hundreds of voiceover artists up her sleeves (not literally – she’s only small) and a wide network of linguists across the world, Camilla can manage projects and create audio in over 100 languages. Camilla loves overseeing multi lingual project teams, ensuring consistency and a nuanced GLOCAL reach for our end clients and brands.

Ian Bradley – Producer

Ian is a highly experienced producer, working in a range of sectors from radio to audiobooks. With the sharpest set of ears in the industry, he is mainly responsible for producing our technical, medical and legal scripts which need particularly meticulous handling. In his spare time he looks after his wife’s belongings while she runs marathons – but there’s no truth in the rumour that she only does it to get away from listening to him edit narrations about health and safety on offshore platforms or unfortunate skin conditions.

Ben Sayer – Junior Producer

Ben joined the company in 2005, when his parents decided to send him down the pit. Having grown up behind a microphone, it has been a natural progression for Ben to end up working in the family business, which he does alongside his studies in the hope of one day getting a proper job. Ben has worked on a number of voiceover and production projects, and is a big fan of international travel, football, and nepotism.

 

Phil Sayer – Co-Founder

Phil founded eLearning Voices with Elinor in 2014. Although he died in 2016, his professionalism, attention to detail, and wicked sense of humour will always be a core part of the way we operate. Phil’s legacy lives on, but unfortunately this legacy includes a spotty dog. You can read more about Phil here.
