I'm John, a British male voice actor based in Taunton, United Kingdom. My English (British) accent has that warm, familiar BBC quality - clear and steady, with a bit of authority behind it. I sit comfortably in the adult 30-50 range and can settle into an older 50+ sound when a script calls for it.
Most of my voice-over work falls into documentary (see my credits on IMDB) and narration, e-learning, radio commercials, radio and TV imaging, phone greetings and on-hold messages. My voice has been heard daily on BBC Radio and BBC TV, Sky, Forces TV, SSVC, and BFBS, so I'm used to working to broadcast standards and briefs.
I read a script the way it's meant to be heard, not just the words on the page, and I'll flag anything that trips the ear before I record. Turnaround is usually within 24 hours, and I record at weekends too.
I handle audio editing and can add music and effects, and I'm set up for Source-Connect as well as directed sessions over Teams, Zoom or phone. I don't take on AI voice training or cloning work.
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.
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. 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.
