Commercial voiceover

Commercial voiceover is the read on an ad. That covers 30-second and 60-second TV and radio spots, pre-roll and social video ads, and retail spots with a price and a date in them. I record conversational reads most often, plus announcer, automotive, and tech reads when the script calls for them. Many campaigns need the same spot in several forms, with a different tag for each store, offer, or end date. I record those as separate tags and versions, so your editor can change the ending and keep the body of the spot. I've voiced work for Heineken, Red Bull, Skechers, Walmart, NordVPN, and Amazon.

You get broadcast-ready WAV and MP3 files of the full spot, with multiple takes and alternate reads so the edit has options. Every tag and version comes back as its own file, named to match your script, so the right ending goes on the right cut. I edit in Reaper and clean each file in iZotope RX 11, ready to lay under picture and music. Fixes for errors on my side cost nothing extra and script changes after recording are quoted by scope, and tags and versions are $50 each. Scripts up to 1,500 words are delivered within 48 hours, and rush guarantees 24 hours or I refund the rush fee.

Where a commercial runs affects what it costs. The read is priced by script length, from $75. If the spot runs as paid media, broadcast licensing is added in checkout, from $150 to $6,000 depending on how long it runs and in which market. A spot that never runs as paid media needs no license. If you want to hear the read as it happens, a live directed session is $100 over Source-Connect, Zoom, or Google Meet. You give notes on pace, energy, and emphasis between takes, and I record in my Whisper Room booth on a Sennheiser MKH416 while you listen.
