Conversational. Credible. Delivered fast.
A commercial voice over has one job: make someone feel something fast enough that they don’t look away.
Thirty years behind a microphone — first in radio, now in a Whisper Room booth in my basement — taught me one thing: the read that works isn’t the one that sounds like a voice over. It’s the one that sounds like a person. Someone you’d trust.
I’ve voiced campaigns for GoDaddy, Dell, Coca-Cola, Levi’s, Corona, John Deere, and Motorola. The range is there. So is the work ethic. Most projects come back same day.
Why the Voice Behind Your Ad Matters
Your script can be tight. Your visuals can be perfect. But the wrong voice — too stiff, too slick, too trying-hard — and the whole spot feels off. The right voice makes the audience feel like they’re being talked to, not at.
I specialize in a conversational, real-guy read. Warm without being soft. Confident without being a pitch. The kind of delivery that sounds like it came naturally — because after thirty years, it does. I also deliver traditional announcer, hard sell, and authority reads when the project calls for it.
Commercial Styles I Record
Commercial work covers a lot of ground. Here’s what clients request most:
- Conversational — Real, warm, guy-next-door. The dominant style in modern advertising. What I’m booked for most often.
- Announcer / Hard Sell — Energy, urgency, direct. Built for retail spots, clearance events, and limited-time offers.
- Automotive — Confident, textured, built for dealership spots and manufacturer campaigns.
- Corporate / Brand — Authoritative but approachable. Fits brand films, product launches, and investor content.
- Upbeat / Quirky — Light touch, good timing. I know when to play it straight and when to let a little personality in.
How It Works
Send me your script. I’ll review it, confirm the rate, and get to work. No forms with seventeen fields. No waiting three business days for a reply. Just a quick exchange and I’m recording.
Most commercial projects turn around same day — often within a few hours. If you want a quick audition before committing, I’ll record one at no charge. My studio is a professionally treated Whisper Room isolation booth wired for Source Connect, equipped with a Neumann TLM 103. Broadcast-ready audio, out of the box. Nothing extra needed on your end.
