Explainer video voice overs
Ninety seconds to make it make sense.
An explainer video has one job: turn "what is this?" into "oh, I get it" before the viewer scrolls on. The voice does most of that work. These voices do explainers weekly and read yours free.
- Free auditions of your script
- Published rates, no haggling
- Conversational, never announcer

Explainer voices
Voices that make the complicated simple.
Each of these has an explainer demo. Listen for conversation: the good ones sound like a smart friend explaining, not a presenter presenting.
Voices who record this kind of work. Names are first names only until you book.
Every explainer voice on the rosterWhat an explainer needs
Short script, clear voice, one idea.
Fewer words than you wrote
Ninety seconds is about two hundred and twenty words at explainer pace. Cut until it fits; the voice can't rescue a script that is racing.
Send the animatic
Even a rough storyboard with timings helps the voice hit the beats. If the read must land on animation cues, book it as synced.
Brief the feeling, not the adjectives
Say what the viewer should feel at the end: relieved, curious, confident. That gets you a better read than "friendly but professional".
How hiring works here
Three steps, no middleman.
You deal with the voice, the site holds the money, and the price is the one on the rate card before you start.
Post a casting, or pick a voice
Paste a few lines of your script and post a free casting; voices who suit it read those lines back to you. Already heard the one you want? Book them straight from their profile.
Choose from real reads
Auditions arrive as recordings of your words in their voice, usually within hours. Pick the one that fits, or none of them. Nothing is owed until you book.
Pay once, files arrive
The price comes off the published rate card, paid to the site before recording. Most jobs come back within 24 to 48 hours, covered by the satisfaction guarantee.
Explainer videos for your own site are a buyout on the rate card; the same video run as a paid ad on other sites is licensed.
Questions people ask
Explainer questions, answered.
How long should an explainer video script be?
Sixty to ninety seconds is the sweet spot, which is roughly 150 to 220 words at a conversational pace. Every ten seconds you cut raises the number of people who watch to the end.
Should the explainer voice be male or female?
Match the audience and the brand more than the product. Both read explainers every day here; post a casting and ask for both to compare.
Can I get versions for different markets?
Yes. Record the same script in American, British and Australian accents, or in other languages with native voices, in one casting.
How is an explainer voice over priced?
By word count as a buyout for use on your own site and channels. If the video runs as a paid ad on other sites, it is licensed for twelve months. Both are on the rate card.
Say it simply. Get the click.
Paste the script, hear explainer voices read it free, and book the one that made it make sense.
