About me

Paul Strikwerda has a solid background in international broadcasting and has worked for the BBC, American Public Radio and Dutch National and International Radio.

Companies like Novartis, DuPont, Wyeth and Merrill Lynch use his voice for a variety of projects. Paul also records e-Learning programs for the United Nations and Audio Books that have found a worldwide audience.

Producers pick Paul when they need a sincere and clear voice that sounds neither all-American nor totally British. That’s why they sometimes call him the “Euro-Guy”. And if you’re looking for a 100% accent-free US-based Dutch voice, Paul Strikwerda is the go-to talent.

    Online payments aren’t always as secure as the sites want you to believe. A few months ago, money was taken out of my PayPal account twice, by an unknown company from India.

    I immediately asked my bank to close the account linked to the PayPal account, and they successfully stopped the money transfer.

    STEPHEN FRY or JIM DALE? J.K. Rowling fans can’t decide who’s the better Potter reader. Both of them have recorded the entire series, although you’re probably aware of the fact that they’re not  reading from the same books. In Britain, people [...]
