I’m Sion Dayson

I’m Sion Dayson an American voice artist living in Valencia, Spain.

I love bringing my passion for storytelling and service to voiceover projects.

If you’re looking for a female voiceover artist with a neutral American accent, I’m your gal.

Born in New York, raised in North Carolina, studies in Ghana and Mexico, a decade in Paris (where I acquired French nationality), and currently the Mediterranean coast – I’ve been lucky enough to call many amazing places home.

My previous careers as a writer and teacher (EFL, creative writing, Pilates!) mean I really know how to connect to your copy and engage listeners.

And my vast international and intercultural experience means I’m adaptable, flexible, and open-minded. This curiosity means I’m delighted to learn about your projects and find the best way to be of assistance to you.

My extensive background in editorial and educational roles lends itself perfectly to all types of narration (corporate, medical, documentary), e-learning, explainer, audio description, and commercial voiceover needs.

We recently worked with Sion on back-to-back projects. She’s very talented and such a pleasure to work with. The quality of her work is amazing and she communicates very well. Would love to work with her again.

We recently worked with Sion on a project that needed a voice-over within 24 hours and I can honestly say she nailed it AND was there for last minute edits. Sion’s experience was clear from the outset. I would 100% recommend Sion.

Sion doesn’t see challenges, she sees pathways, and doesn’t give up until the destination is reached. Great listener, kind, funny. A pleasure to work with!”
