About Bill Stage | Professional Male Voice Over Artist

Voice over artist, radio lover, dad, husband, guitar player, and friend.

That last one matters more than the rest of them put together.

I’ve been in radio since 1996 — thirty years in the Quad Cities market, which still blows my mind to say out loud. Somewhere along the way I walked into a real recording studio for the first time, stood in front of a professional mic, and thought: I have to figure out how to do this more often. That was the beginning of voice over for me.

I do commercial and corporate narration — that’s the core of what I do and where I’m best. I also do e-learning, audiobooks, radio imaging, promos, phone greetings — the full range. But commercial VO is where I live. Agencies and production houses book me because I show up, turn things around fast, and sound like a real person — not a radio announcer doing a voice.

The studio is in my basement. It’s a Whisper Room isolation booth — the kind that normally runs about six grand new. I found mine on Craigslist for a thousand bucks, drove to Nashville in a U-Haul to pick it up, and it is absolutely ridiculous how good it sounds. If you book a session with me, you’re getting that room.

What’s it like to work with me?

Laid back. I’m not going to make you feel like you’re bothering me, because you’re not. I’ll read your script, ask the questions that matter, and give you options so you can pick what works. I direct well when clients need it and stay out of the way when they don’t. I turn things around fast and I write back.

I’ve spent thirty years in radio learning how to connect with an audience — not perform at them, connect with them. That’s what I bring to every voice over session. The best commercial read isn’t the most polished one. It’s the one that sounds like nobody’s performing at all.

I help businesses find their real customers and speak their language. I’ve been doing it in radio for three decades and in voice over for over ten years. I’m still the same guy I was the first time I stepped up to a mic: someone who thinks the best way to sell anything is just to sound like a real person talking to another real person.

If that sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s talk.
