Steve Nallon’s work as a voice artist spans over four decades, evolving from a legendary 1980s voice-impersonation background into a versatile portfolio of theatre, audio drama, and voice-acting projects, including audio books, animation, film dubbing, video games, children’s television, commercials, and dramatic readings.
Steve provided various character voices for ATOMFALL, which won the 2026 BAFTA for Best British Game. For the satirical drama THE FINAL DAYS OF LIZ TRUSS, which in the spring of 2026 had a successful run at The Other Palace in Victoria and later at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Steve recorded over thirty voices. These included civil servants, journalists, and real-life politicians such as Kwasi Kwarteng and Jacob Rees-Mogg, all interacting with Liz Truss (Emma Wilkinson Wright) during the play. In Dickie Beau’s remarkable theatre presentation SHOWMANISM celebrating the art of performance, Steve featured as himself discussing his work and life as a voice artist and actor. In this play, which had a sell-out run at the Hampstead Theatre in the summer of 2025, Dickie Beau acted as a kind of avatar miming to recordings of actors, performers and theatre industry professionals, as each set out their individual approach to performance. The pre-recorded performers included Sir Ian McKellen, Fiona Shaw, Patsy Rodenberg, and Mimi Denissi. It was curious to watch how Dickie Beau captured the physical essence of each character, especially as he went from the real Sir Ian McKellen to Steve impersonating Sir Ian McKellen. A Russian doll within a Russian doll!nThis review from THEATRE TONIC: “The way that Beau used every piece of dialogue as a theatrical tool was captivating to watch, where he would physically embody not just the people he was performing as, but the language they were using. A great example includes his portrayal of the voice of impressionist Steve Nallon, who details how he would learn to do the voices of British politicians for the popular satire SPITTING IMAGE. Performing the section halfway up a ladder, Beau plays on the caricature nature of Nallon’s impressionist work by using slapstick movements while hanging off the ladder. This added a brilliantly fun layer to the characterisation of these voices.” And this from THE GUARDIAN: "This lip-sync is closer to possession than parody, each voice arriving like a doubtful guest then settling into his skin."
Steve Nallon has a recording studio at his home in north London, featuring broadcast-quality resolution and remote recording facilities.

Steve's history as a voice performer goes back to the 1970s when he treaded the boards with a comedy impressionist act on the Northern Working Men's Club Circuit.

In 2015, when SPITTING IMAGE created a puppet of the then Prime Minister David Cameron for the show NHS IN STICHES at the Hackney Empire, it was Steve who was invited to do the voice, and in 2020 Steve returned to the show with a reprise of his iconic Lady Thatcher impersonation when the series was revived on BritBox and ITV.
