Phil Rowe, a distinguished voice actor from the Swansea Valley, has been honored with three nominations at the prestigious One Voice Awards 2025. The categories include Best Male Performance in Animation, Best Male Performance in TV/Web Commercials, and the coveted Male Voiceover Artist of the Year.
This recognition follows a landmark year for Rowe, who clinched the One Voice Award for Best Male Performance in TV/Web Commercials in 2024. His versatile voice has since been featured in international campaigns, acclaimed video games, and animated series. Notably, he lent his voice to the Welsh-language video game ‘Tales from the Mabinogion,’ which garnered attention from the BBC for its cultural significance.
Reflecting on his journey, Rowe shared, “Winning last year’s award was a turning point. It affirmed my decision to pursue voiceover work full-time and inspired me to explore diverse projects that resonate with audiences worldwide.”
Rowe’s path to success hasn’t been without challenges. Battling pulmonary sarcoidosis, he faced difficulties with breath control early in his career. Through dedicated training with renowned voice coach Nicola Redman, he developed techniques to manage his condition, allowing his career to flourish.
Operating from his custom-built studio in Ystalyfera, Rowe continues to deliver compelling performances across various media. His nominations this year underscore his commitment to excellence and his impact on the voiceover industry.
The One Voice Awards ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Docklands, London.
