Welcome to "Swedish Male Voice"
Swedish voice / Schwedische Stimme
Zwillingseite in DEUTSCH: Muttersprachler Schwedisch P. Ola Jannhov
Voice talent native P. Ola Jannhov
I was born and grew up in Sweden, in the university town Lund and have voice training and acting experience. Since 2004 my voice is being used professionally for:
- product- and company presentations
- infotainment
- e-Learning
- language courses
- advertising & commercials
- film dubbing
- audio books
If you are interested in my detailed biography, please follow the link below in "Contact" to my personal page POlaJannhov.com.
Is Ola the German-Swedish voice of a blue & yellow furniture store?
No, I'm not.
But it was close. So, after a casting in 2012, which I won and was designated as the successor to the previous speaker, I am often invited to speak German with that special Swedish accent. Here you find a little example: internal-en
... and for certain legal reasons I'll better not write the name of the furniture store from Sweden.
Then:
in Germany profesional speaking should mostly be "High German" (somewhat like Queen's English). From time to time, the question arises whether my Swedish is "High Swedish".
"Clearly not," I answer truthfully. "For what you intend to have recorded, that would be ... well, off." This probably requires a bit of clarification ... enjoy this read: PDF über die schwedische Aussprachen und "Hochschwedisch"
Prices
I base my prices on different but common German lists. Since Swedish is not a "mass language", the specific prices are normally negotiated and set on a case-by-case basis.
Samples of how my voice sounds

e-Learning of IT
Empowerment
EU: Agricultural
Eye lenses
Orientation e-Learning
Medical 2
As a profesional voice, do I have to stand behind what I record?
Well, there are three categories I've declined to record:
- religious content, which sounded like a cult to me,
- certain "medical" devices with "magical" effects on a certain male organ, and
- political messages that are/were too controversial.
But the glyfosate issue I researched as best I could, and so I said yes.

Speach and pronunciation coaching
You need support with Swedish pronunciation?

Speach Coaching Swedish
You like a pronunciation to sound more "Swedish"?
From time to time I coach directors and (German) dubbing actors when it comes to "Swedish-German-English" pronunciation.
As an example: "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo / Verblendung", the 2011 feature film starring Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara and Christopher Plummer, among others.
Then: in Germany profesional speaking should mostly be "High German" (somewhat like Queen's English). From time to time, the question arises whether my Swedish is "High Swedish".
"Clearly not," I answer truthfully. "For what you intend to have recorded that would be ... well, off."

Project "Tom Beyond" // Project "Grey Swami"
Tom Beyond likes to experiment making music, mostly with some beat. So far no one managed to get a photo of him. Grey Swami can sometimes be deeeeep .. so he speaks and gets Tom Beyond to put some soundscapes to the spoken words. Strangely enough, no one managed to get a photo of the Grey Swami either ...
And then Benny O. Prior came around .. but that is another story.
Tom Beyond "Intermission"
Grey Swami "Stop Searching"
