I'm Dave, a voice actor with a North American English accent that sits comfortably in the adult 30-50 range and can settle into an older 50-plus sound when a script calls for it. I'n an experienced, professional and versatile read, built mostly for radio commercials and radio and TV imaging. Think spots that need to land in thirty seconds and station branding that has to cut through.
I work from Smithville in the Greater Nashville Area of the USA. Over the years my voice over work has included Patriots Point Naval Museum, Texas Public Television, multiple automotive dealerships, several banks and a number of political candidates. Along with the read itself, I handle audio editing and can add music and effects so a spot arrives ready for air. I don't take on adult content or religious scripts.
When a script comes in, I look for the one line the whole thing hangs on and build the read around it. Usual turnaround is about four hours, and weekends are part of my week too.
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, Kevin included, 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.

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.

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. Buyout in perpetuity for broadcast is double the rate. 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.
