I love this job
My background as a professional actor and 12 years experience in the industry give me a solid understanding of a wide range of texts, the dynamics within and how to effectively communicate core values, create emotions and capture an audience.
I'm passionate about voice overs. The precision and attention to detail in the studio, the emotional journey for the listener and a successful campaign for the client.
Words move us. They carry emotions and have a substantial effect on us. As does a voice. We like listening to a pleasant voice. We trust it.
This combination inspires me. It's storytelling - not around the campfire, but on social media, on the radio & on TV.
PROFESSIONAL, ENTERTAINING & STRAIGHTFORWARD. GREAT RECORDINGS AND A PLEASANT COLLABORATION.

Est.
in 1985
With an English mother and a German father, Ryan grew up both in Germany and the UK and is a native speaker of both languages.
Training / Theatre
Ryan trained at the Drama Centre London.
Unable to secure government funding for his studies, but with bills to pay, he took matters into his own hands and started a fundraiser. Over 250 letters were sent out to British film and theatre folk.
Weeks went by, until one day a letter from Sir Ian McKellen, better known as Gandalf, landed in Ryan's letterbox. He had received his request for help and was going to support him. Soon after, other prominent supporters followed; Dame Judi Dench, Jeremy Irons and Alan Rickman.
Ryan's career started off typically British: with a cup of tea in a rehearsal room, working on a Shakespeare production: playing The Fool in KING LEAR. Between Shakespeare, Ibsen, Brecht, and Chekhov, he has also worked on modern political dramas and satires, appearing at the award-winning Arcola Theatre London. Ryan also has experience with immersive theatre, outdoor theatre & physical theatre.
In March 2018 he joined the ensemble of Berlin's hit comedy GUTES WEDDING, SCHLECHTES WEDDING - a live theatre sitcom, involving improvisation.
Film / TV
Over his 12 years of professional experience, both in the UK and Germany, Ryan has worked with OSCAR® nominee writer & director Scott Frank on the Golden Globe awarded Netflix series THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT. He went on to collaborate with Pablo Larraín ("Jackie") on the biopic SPENCER alongside Kristen Stewart, Sean Harris and Timothy Spall. In the feel good German coming-of-age comedy ABSCHUSSFAHRT Ryan played the British thug "Bret" alongside Max von der Groeben and German comedian Chris Tall. Ryan has also played lead roles in UK independent films and has shot various International commercials.
On TV, Ryan has had guest leads on ZDF's BETTY'S DIAGNOSE and he was part of a TV sketch series, co-created by the btf GmbH and German satirist Jan Böhmermann for WDR.
Writer
Ryan has co-created award-winning online series and various short films, such as the 10 second comedy THE BLOW JOB, which won an award at the Canadian International Comedy Film Festival.
