Get to know Cyd
I'm Cyd, a voice actor with a rich, warm, conversational sound. My North American English sits comfortably in the adult and mature adult range, so I can be the reassuring storyteller, the steady business professional, or something with a bit more edge when a script calls for it.
MY voice over work covers a wide spread: character and cartoon reads, radio commercials, television spots, political spots, radio and TV imaging, and long form narration. Over the years I've recorded e-learning for Microsoft and the Department of Homeland Security, narration for the Toronto Film Festival's Fellini retrospective at TIFF Bell Lightbox, the Paul Newman Foundation AGM, Whirlpool's Goddess campaign, and work for Haliburton.
When a script arrives, I read it for the person underneath the words first, then find the pace and warmth that fits. Most finished audio goes back within 24 hours. If you'd rather steer the read yourself, I'm set up for directed sessions over Teams, Zoom or phone, and I'm happy to try a few different takes until the tone lands.

Questions people ask
How soon can I get my recording back?
Each voice lists a general turnaround time above. It is not a guarantee, but every voice aims to get your recording back as fast as they can, and the sooner you hire them the sooner it lands. Some talent offer a four hour turnaround for clients who need something super fast. To find out who is free right now, post a free job notice.
How much will it cost to hire this voice?
Rates depend on what the recording is for and how long it is. Click Hire Voice Talent Now and the system walks you through it, showing the rate before you commit to anything.
Can I listen to this voice record my script?
Yes. Use Contact / Audition Voice to send a short part of your script. The voice records it for free so you can hear exactly how your words sound before you hire.
Can I check that the voice is available or audition them before I hire them?
You sure can. Our voice talent are full time voice actors, not hobbyists. If a voice is unavailable a notice shows on their profile with their return date. To check a specific time, or to audition, message them through Contact / Audition Voice. Where it asks for a script, just say it is still being developed.
How do I make payment? What forms of payment do you accept?
Click Hire Voice Talent Now next to the profile picture and the system leads you through. Before the script is sent you pre-pay by card, which we hold. When you are happy with the recording you click a button to close the job and release the funds, and you receive an instant tax invoice. We accept major credit cards and PayPal, and can set up accounts for long term clients.
How many re-records can I get to ensure my script is read the way I want?
If the voice has made a mistake or missed your direction, re-records are free. If you change the script after recording, that counts as a new recording. If the voice simply is not right for the job, the satisfaction guarantee lets you pick another voice from the roster to record the same script instead. Conditions apply.
Do I own the audio? What are the licencing terms?
Recordings for non-broadcast use (phone messages, YouTube, e-learning, audiobooks, personal use) are buyout in perpetuity, so you can use them forever with no extra fees. Broadcast recordings for TV, radio or internet commercials are licensed for one year from the recording date. Recordings with several uses should have all applicable rates selected.
Can the voice talent add music or edit the recording into smaller files?
Yes, most talent offer production services. You provide the music you want mixed with the voice, and there is a small extra fee. Make sure you add Production when you hire them.
Where do the voice actors record the scripts?
All our voice actors have professional broadcast quality studios and record on professional microphones. They are representing your brand, and the sound reflects on your business, so you get the best for a recording that will be used for years.
