My voice is deep, mature and authoritative, with a calm edge that keeps people listening. I speak with a North American English accent and sit comfortably in the adult 30 to 50 range, though I can settle into an older sound when a script calls for someone with a few more miles on him.
I'm a voice actor based in the Chicago, IL area, U.S.A. Most of my voice over work falls into corporate pieces, explainer videos, radio commercials and longer narration. Over the years I've lent my voice to Budweiser, the Chicago Blackhawks, Home Depot, Dow Corning, Baxter, Zazzle, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Castrol Oil, to name a few, so I'm used to copy that has to be clear, credible and on brand the first time.
I read a script for meaning before I read it for sound, which usually saves everyone a round of revisions. Files are typically back within 48 hours, and I record on weekends when a deadline is tight. I also handle audio editing, music and effects, and I'm set up for directed sessions over Teams, Zoom, phone or Source-Connect.

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?

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.
