Darren
Male voice actor
Mound, Minnesota, United States
Adult (30-50), Mature Adult (50+) voice
Darren at the mic
I'm Darren, a voice actor with a deep, manly delivery that still sounds like the everyday guy next door. My North American English accent sits comfortably in the adult 30-50 range, and I can settle into mature adult 50+ reads when a script calls for more weight and experience.
Working from Mound, United States, I handle corporate narration, e-learning, explainer videos, radio commercials, television spots and political spots, plus phone greetings and on-hold messaging. My voice over work has been used by Chevrolet, LG, UFC, Aptive Environmental, The Beard Club and Seezlos', so I'm used to matching a brand's tone rather than imposing my own.
I read a script for intent first, then find the pacing that makes the message land, whether that's warm and conversational or straight and authoritative. Most projects go back within 24 hours, and I record on weekends when deadlines are tight. I also take care of audio editing and can add music and effects. For directed work, I'm set up for ISDN, Source-Connect and ipDTL sessions, or we can simply work live over Teams, Zoom or the phone.

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. 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.
