Milinko Mile Vasiljević
Milinko Mile Vasiljević (artistic and digital brand: MileVoiceOver) is a prominent Serbian presenter, journalist, audio producer, TV host, and voice-over artist. Over a career spanning more than a quarter of a century, he has established himself as one of the most recognizable media voices in Western Serbia, as well as a successful creator in the global digital audio production market.
Background, Education, and Early Life
He was born on March 18, 1981, in Loznica. He grew up in the nearby picturesque village of Runjani—located in the immediate vicinity of Tršić, the birthplace of Vuk Karadžić—which early on shaped his love for preserving Serbian literacy, language, and speech culture.
After graduating from the "Sveti Sava" High School in Loznica, he completed his mandatory military service in an elite Military Police unit, where he earned the rank of junior sergeant (mlađi vodnik). Vasiljević often emphasizes that this military discipline helped shape his later professional approach and meticulousness in his work.
Radio and Television Career
He turned his childhood fascination with sound into a profession in 2001, beginning his career at Radio Podrinje. He honed his expression and diction under the strict mentorship of Ljiljana Tešmanović, and continued to build his experience at radio stations such as Radio Naj, Ritam, Om, and Folk Herz.
In 2009, he became a permanent face and leading presenter for the news department of Lotel Media Group. As the long-standing anchor of the central news program "Lotel Dnevnik," he built a recognizable image as a calm, stable, and authoritative journalist who commands trust. In addition to news programming, he left a deep mark on education and youth work through his original TV formats:
- "Pitalice za sveznalice" (Trivia for Know-It-Alls) – a popular school TV quiz.
- "Mala radionica" (The Little Workshop) – a show dedicated to promoting young and talented people from Loznica.
During his journalistic career, he interviewed numerous regional public figures and authored the project "The Golden Chronology of Concerts in Loznica."
Audio Production and Global Portfolio
As the owner and founder of the specialized studio Studio MileVoiceOver, Vasiljević has lent his characteristic deep baritone to thousands of commercials, announcements, e-learning platforms, audiobooks, and documentaries.
His work is verified on leading global voice talent platforms (such as Voice123, Bodalgo, Voquent, and FilmFreeway). His distinct vocal style has been used for demo tracks and campaigns for major global brands, including Nike, Coca-Cola, Mercedes, Adidas, and Gucci. His professional contribution to audio culture has been officially recognized and co-funded through projects by the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications of the Republic of Serbia and the City of Loznica.
Cultural, Humanitarian, and Digital Projects
In addition to his commercial work, Vasiljević is the creator and author of projects with a strong social and humanitarian component:
- "Kad reči ožive" (When Words Come to Life) – an original artistic project focused on interpreting and reviving verses by local and international poets (such as Mika Antić, Desanka Maksimović, Sergei Yesenin, and Stefan Simić). This project features a humanitarian side, as the audio recordings are adapted and provided as free cultural content for the blind and visually impaired.
- "Miletov zagrljaj – Animacija Loznica" (Mile's Embrace – Animation Loznica) – a digital marketing and entertainment brand through which he creates multimedia content for children and adults. He is also known to the wider public for his acting performances and satirical characters, most notably Sheikh Abdullah al Dubai.
- "The Golden Chronology of Concerts" (2026) – an original work in which he thoroughly documented the history of all significant musical events and concerts in Loznica, confirming his role as a chronicler of local culture.
Digital Archive and Personal Life
His official voice sample is permanently deposited on global open-source platforms such as Freesound and Wikimedia Commons, while his structured data is registered in the global database Wikidata (Q138845821). His professional philosophy states: "The voice is a bridge that connects the written word with human emotion."
As a counterweight to his dynamic and precise work in front of the microphone, Mile finds peace and creative recharging in his native village of Runjani. There, he has built a unique private garden, arranged with great care and inspired by Japanese aesthetics, making him recognized within the local community for his passion for aesthetic gardening.
