François Lidove French voice over artist

ABOUT

Concept

This TV promo for Roland-Garros 2025, produced by Supersport South Africa, required a unique vocal identity:
an English voice-over with a refined French accent, blending elegance, rhythm and a slightly fashion-inspired attitude.

The creative intention was to evoke both Parisian charm and sporting intensity, creating a stylised tone that sits between poetry, chic branding and competitive energy.

Execution

I delivered a dynamic and stylised English performance, shaped around a distinctive French accent to match the creative vision.
The vocal delivery was crafted to balance sophistication and impact — confident, rhythmic, and unmistakably “Parisian”, while still fitting the tempo and structure of a sports promo.

The recording was done remotely in a broadcast-quality environment, with several takes exploring variations in intensity, attitude and flow.

Results

The promo aired across two Supersport channels throughout Africa, contributing to the event’s premium, international positioning.
The creative team highlighted the originality of the French-accented English tone and its strong alignment with Roland-Garros’ brand universe.
