Derek
Male voice actor
Ashland, Oregon, USA Adult (30-50) voice
Say hello to Derek
My voice sits in the adult range, somewhere between 30 and 50, and it tends to land conversational, natural and upbeat. The accent is English with a North American sound, so it sits comfortably in corporate narration, e-learning modules, explainer videos, medical narration and tour guide work, along with television and radio imaging, political spots, phone greetings and on hold messages. I also voice audiobooks, and I like stretching into character and cartoon work when the script calls for something broader.
I'm a voice actor based in Ashland, Oregon, USA, and my voice over work has included sessions for United Airlines, Jaegermeister, DocuSign, Giant Bicycles, Coca Cola of Argentina and the World of Tanks video game.
I read a script the way a person would actually say it, so the message comes first and the performance stays out of the way. Most jobs go back within 24 hours, and I record on weekends too. I handle audio editing and can add music and effects if that helps. For directed work, I'm set up for ISDN, Source-Connect and ipDTL, or we can run the session over Teams, Zoom or the phone. I don't record adult content.

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.
