OLIVER DENMAN

Editor and sound designer for spoken word

Starting out with BBC Audiobooks (later AudioGO), and working freelance since 2012, I have over twenty-one years' experience as an audiobook editor. I now put my ear to sound-design — bringing stories to life with illustrative sound-effects and immersive audio.

In 2023, Storytel's dramatisation of 1984 — which I sound-designed — was nominated for an Audie award. Also that year, I was selected to participate on the BBC's Sound First scheme.

I have worked with Oliver for many years and highly recommend him as a spoken word editor. Oliver can always be relied upon to deliver on or before the deadline. He is thorough, methodical and has an exceptional ear for detail.
Jennifer Howard, Sound Understanding
His experience, creativity and versatility ensure the final audio is the very best it can be. Oliver works with us from concept right through to release and is a vital part of the creative process.
