Promo voiceover
A promo has to make the next episode feel like an event. I match the read to the format, building for drama, quick for comedy, direct for news, and I turn tags around fast enough for a schedule that changes by the day. Rush gets you files in 24 hours or less.
From $75. Priced by script length and usage, with broadcast licensing added in checkout only when you need it.

Network, streaming, and series promos
Promo voiceover sells a program: the next episode, a new season, a premiere date, or a whole platform. I record series promos for drama, comedy, and news, streaming launch teasers, mid-season spots, and short cutdowns for social feeds. I match the pace to the format, slower and building for drama, quick and light for comedy, and direct for news. Most promo scripts are short, and many come with several versions of the same spot, each with a different date or time slot in the tag. I've spent 20 years in audio and delivered more than 3,000 projects.
What you get back
You get broadcast-ready WAV and MP3 files, with multiple takes and alternate reads on the main lines. Each version and tag comes back as its own file, named to match your script, so the right date lands on the right cut. Tags and versions are $50 each, and fixes for errors on my side cost nothing extra and script changes after recording are quoted by scope. I edit in Reaper and clean every file in iZotope RX 11, so it's ready to mix under music and effects. Scripts up to 1,500 words are delivered within 48 hours, and rush guarantees 24 hours or I refund the rush fee.
Tight schedules and live sessions
Promo schedules move fast. When a tag changes or a spot has to go out sooner, rush delivery adds 50% and guarantees your files within 24 hours, or I refund the rush fee. The clock runs Monday to Friday from when the final script arrives. If your producer wants to direct the read, a live session is $100 over Source-Connect, Zoom, or Google Meet, and I record in my Whisper Room booth on a Sennheiser MKH416 while they listen. If the promo runs as paid media, broadcast licensing is added in checkout, from $150 to $6,000 by term and market.
Common questions
How much does a promo voiceover cost?
The read is $0.40 a word for the first 500 words and $0.25 a word after that, with a $75 minimum. Most promos are short enough to land at the minimum. Paid-media use adds broadcast licensing, from $150 to $6,000 by term and market.
Can you turn a promo around fast?
Yes. Scripts up to 1,500 words are delivered within 48 hours. Rush adds 50% and guarantees 24 hours, or I refund the rush fee. The clock runs Monday to Friday and starts when your final script arrives.
Do you record date and time tags?
Yes. Tags and versions are $50 each, for a new air date, time slot, or platform on the same spot. Each one comes back as its own file, named to match your script, so your editor can swap it in.
Can my producer direct the session?
Yes. A live directed session is $100. We connect over Source-Connect, Zoom, or Google Meet, and your producer gives notes on pace, energy, and emphasis between takes while I record.
