Why hire a freelance voice over artist?
The right voice sets the tone of a piece. A freelance voice over artist brings range, delivery and often their own recording setup, so you can audition voices and receive broadcast-ready audio without booking a studio.
Freelancers also give you flexibility. Book a voice for a single spot, a series of explainers, an e-learning course or a game, find a native speaker for a new market, or cover a quick turnaround. Demo reels let you hear the voice before you book.

Frequently asked questions
Hire a freelance voice over artist when you need a voice for an advert, explainer, corporate film, e-learning course, game or audio project, when you need a native speaker for another market, or when you need fast recorded audio without a studio booking. They're also useful for ongoing series and phone systems.
Voice over artists vary by style, language and use. Some specialize in commercial and broadcast reads, others in explainer, corporate or e-learning narration, character voices for animation and games, or audiobooks. Language, accent, age and tone all matter. If you need the picture as well as the voice, consider a videographer. Listen to demo reels and match the voice to your audience.
