Francesco Pagnoncelli

Artist Bio

Francesco has always been far happier speaking than writing. As a child, while everyone else was filling exercise books, he was busy reading stories out loud, discovering that bringing words to life was much more fun than putting them on paper. After enthusiastically trying just about every sport imaginable, his parents finally accepted that theatre was probably where he belonged.

Since then, Francesco has built a career performing on stage, in front of the camera and behind the microphone, with credits including Kidnapped (BBC), Senna (Netflix), The Garden of Perfect Brightness and IVR work for Lamborghini and Ferrari through RDS Automotive. Whether acting, singing or voicing a script, he approaches every project with warmth, curiosity and a genuine love of storytelling.

A passionate linguist, Francesco also teaches Italian using improvisation and role-play, helping people speak naturally (although, admittedly, perhaps not quite as quickly as he does). His love of language and communication feeds directly into his voice work, allowing him to find the rhythm and heart in every read.

Away from the studio, you’ll usually find him listening to pop music, playing the piano, making the most of the UK’s approximately ten sunny days each year, eating pizza, or occasionally trying his hand at comedy… because therapy is expensive.
