CATHI OGDEN
25+ YEARS VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
PROFESSIONAL SINGER
OVER 11 YEARS REPRESENTING UK BRAND: SHEILAS WHEELS - LEAD CHARACTER ACROSS ALL BRANDING
EXCELLENT BRITISH ACCENT
Excitement, pain, lust, fear, joy. They’re all communicated through tone. It’s unconscious. Your surprise voice is like your surprise face, you don’t control it, it just happens.
Cathi is different.
She has total control. Conscious competence. An elite athlete of the vocal world. Other unconscious truths are communicated through subtle tone. Important evolutionary information.
You hear a person’s character in their voice. Cathi’s character is utterly trustworthy. Or not. She can make it so.
She keeps salubrious company. Collaborating with Victoria Beckham and singing for President Clinton. Obviously, she sounds great. But she’s fun to be with. She adds to the vibe (and the camera loves her too).
Hey, it’s a post ‘#me too’ world! And in a world where women read the rules, Cathi’s dulcet tones capture the zeitgeist. She’s authoritative. She says you can change, and you know it’s true. She’s credible. It’s in her cadence.
Cathi is the jazz singer in ‘These Foolish Things’ with Angelica Houston, Lauren Bacall and Terence Stamp. A believable bunch. She’s funny. She opened for Lenny Henry at the State Theatre and shared the stage with Englebert Humperdink (just saying).
You’re on the edge of amused as she’s explains how to succeed in business. You smirk and tremor as that murder mystery lulls you to sleep. It’s good to be scared. She’ll keep you listening, wanting more.
Cathi’s who you’re looking for.
Song-writing and singing credits include:
Cathi has since released a further two solo albums (Souvenirs from Stockholm and Curious Covers for Cool Cats) and performed at most of the major Jazz venues in and around London.
In 2015, Cathi performed at the Royal Festival Hall for Pete Watermans’ show A Life in Song, which was very awesome indeed.
Cathi Ogden also presents Voiceover Voices – the podcast where they delve into the wordy world of voiceovers. Each episode they meet a professional voice artist and find out who they are and how they got into this work.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say how fabulous Peter was to work with! He was brilliant! Good to know he’s available to do both Australian and NZ voices, we’ll definitely keep him in mind for future jobs.
Working with Scout Voice Management was so easy and professional. We knew we wanted to use Aaron Cartwright – his voice is like rich melted chocolate and he is so amiable and amenable. From the initial inquiry to the actual recording was only a few days. We got exactly what we wanted and have the showreel for our website that we’d hoped for. Thanks to all involved.
What a breeze to work with someone as professional and experienced as Robert Lee — fast and fun, too! He comes prepared so time is spent efficiently, to get just what you need. A pleasure.
We are pleased with the result and I really enjoyed being patched in to the studio for the recording. Nathan Page’s voice is the perfect tone and has the gravitas we needed for the intended audience and Matt from Sonic Playground, was so helpful and thorough throughout the recording, and in all our requests for follow-up editing. They are both very talented and it was a pleasure working with them and getting an understanding of their craft.
Marc James Dwyer’s voice is relatable and authentic and he’s got the craft to control it beautifully.
He’s a dead set legend to record with, interprets scripts and takes direction well, and is always dedicated to fulfilling the trickiest of client briefs with absolute class and confidence.
Felicity, I can’t speak highly enough of not only your incredible skill and nuanced performance, but also of the weight and resonance you brought into the reading yesterday. Your narration provided a gravitas and beauty that I was thankful for in every scene, let alone your vibrant warmth that brought enthusiasm to every individual in the room.
What a gift you have, to welcome people in to storied experiences through your voice, empathy, delivery and choice of nuance – it was such a great pleasure just to witness you in action, and I’m so thankful for the impact you’ve now had on this project in this role. As you read yesterday, I thought to myself ‘why can’t Felicity create every audiobook I’d ever want to read?? This is the voice we all need!’. I hope we’re able to work together many a time over, and it was such a pleasure to meet you.
