My name is Otto van den Bosch. Growing up, I moved around frequently and have had the privilege of living in six countries across four different continents. I had a bilingual upbringing, speaking Dutch at home and English at school. The life my family led was exciting, but at times it could also be daunting. Regularly having to say goodbye to friends and having to adapt to new surroundings was difficult but the experience also gave me so much. I was exposed to many different cultures, traditions and people with different backgrounds. This lifestyle taught me to observe and to adapt. It was not always easy but in the end I feel very fortunate. I now live and work in The Netherlands, in a town called Hilversum.


In 2016, I graduated from Nyenrode with a business degree and went on to work in marketing for major companies like Heineken and Nike. However, I never felt that the corporate trajectory was right for me, and the need for change lead me to start considering and exploring new opportunities. Voiceover had always been a passion of mine. I had worked on smaller projects in the past but it always felt like an intangible prospect... A risk and a big step away from what I had been doing… Seeking inspiration, I decided to walk the Camino de Santiago, a 1,000 km hike from France to the western coast of Spain. The people I met, the experiences I had along the way, gave me the confidence to take the leap and pursue voiceover full-time. Since then, I have worked with dozens of brands, and have developed a true passion for what I do. I’m excited for what the future has in store.
