Voiceover Services
Need professional voiceover work such as video narration? I can do that for you. I've narrated hundreds of training and sales videos for myself and for clients. I have a Midwestern US voice, which is sought after in the broadcast industry and is considered the "standard" American accent. Listen below for a sample of my voice.
This is perfect for
- Explainer videos
- Video sales letters (VSLs)
- Audio books or lead magnets
- Other marketing, training, or presentation materials
Voiceover Sample
Rates are based on estimated final running time, using an average of 150 words per minute. The fee includes recording your script and editing the recording to a polished, ready to go audio file (wav or mp3). The price is based on the word count of your script so you'll know the exact amount before ordering, even if the final recording is longer than estimated.
Note: for videos, I do not narrate in sync with your video. I record, edit, and deliver a professional audio recording, then you or your assistant can add whatever visuals you want. The exception to this is if you hire me to produce a video from scratch.
See pricing below for standard voiceover services.
Those prices do not include writing or editing the script, which I can do for an additional fee.
Unlike some voiceover artists, I don't charge extra if you intend to use the recordings for commercial purposes. In fact, I'm not sure why you'd pay for voiceover work that was for personal use only, but if you want me to read a book to you, I'm available.
These recordings are not meant for broadcast (TV or radio) purposes. This restriction doesn't apply to the Internet -- that's where most of my work is used.
I do voiceover work in English only since my foreign language skills aren't at a level to perform the quality of recording you deserve.
I can also produce complete videos from scratch, including writing the script, making slides, recording, and editing the video. Contact me for a custom quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of voiceover work do you do?
Most of my voiceover work is narration, such as
- Explainer videos
- Video sales letters (VSLs)
- Audio books or lead magnets
- Other marketing, training, or presentation materials
This is narration, not voice acting. I don't do impressions, characters, or accents (except my natural one as heard in the sample). I don't add sound effects or music to the recordings. You are free to edit whatever audio recordings you have into the recordings I deliver to you.
What sets you apart from other voiceover artists?
Several things:
- I'm an experienced copywriter, so I can write or polish your script before recording it (for an additional fee). Most VO artists aren't writers.
- Each of us has his or her own unique voice, so no one else sounds exactly like me, Make sure you listen to my sample before hiring me, because that's the voice you're going to get. I don't outsource any of my VO work.
- I can create video sales letters or explainer videos from developing the concept to writing, recording, and editing. Very few VO artists do that. Request a custom quote.
Do you have any voiceover samples I can listen to?
Yes, the one above.
What about revisions?
For basic voiceovers, there will be no revisions unless I deliver a recording that deviates from your script. For packages that include script editing or writing, one round of script revisions is included in the price. There will be no revisions to the delivered recordings unless I deviate from the script or there are audio issues.
Is there a guarantee?
By ordering voiceover work, you confirm you have listened to my voice sample and are satisfied with the sound of my voice. Since this is labor-intensive and custom work, there are no refunds as long as I deliver a usable and faithful recording of the script you provide. (Faithful means correctly reading the words in the script, not having background noises, etc.) If I deviate from your script or there are audio issues, I will fix the recording. For services that include script editing or writing, I will get your approval of my version of the script, including one round of revisions, before recording it. Once you approve the script, there will be no further revisions.
Is voiceover work all you do?
No. I also write copy, build sales funnels, and manage online ads for clients. Funnels are mostly copy, so having a skilled copywriter build your funnel makes more sense than hiring someone who is a master of Photoshop but not a copywriter. I also have a publishing business selling products like courses and ebooks.
If you're a copywriter, why are you offering voiceover services?
I stumbled into VO work accidentally. I worked with a funnel agency and wrote many video sales letter scripts for them. I was asked to narrate and record some of them, so I decided if they were happy with my VO skills, I might as well offer that service to others.
How do you deliver your voiceover work?
I will provide the edited recordings in wav or mp3 files. Due to the size, I will put them online and send you a download link. No one else will have access to them.
What are your rates?
See published rates above for standard voiceover and script writing services. For anything else, such as creating a video from start to finish, contact me for a custom quote.
What if I need a longer recording?
Just order a multiple of one of the packages above. Let's say you have a script that is 1800 words and you want the Basic package. 1800 divided by 750 is 2.4. Round that up to 3, the next higher whole number. Order 3 units of the Basic package.
What's your turnaround time?
That depends on my current schedule and workload and what you want done. I strive to provide quick delivery of my services and can usually deliver within 1-2 business days.
Do you work with agencies?
Some of my clients are agencies, so I know how to work with them. If you run an agency, I'd be happy to speak with you about working together. I'm not looking to work in your physical office, however.
Where are you based?
I live in sunny St Petersburg, Florida, USA, by the Gulf of Mexico (Eastern time zone).
