Recording for Austin

Silicon Hills, with a soundtrack.

Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World and, these days, a tech town: Dell up the road in Round Rock, Apple, Oracle and Tesla with headquarters and campuses across the city, and a startup scene that fills SXSW every March. Add the University of Texas, the state government under a capitol that stands taller than the one in Washington, and a lot of very good barbecue. All of it needs a voice at some point.

Whatever the recording is for, whether it's medical narrations, corporate video, on-hold messages and professional phone greetings, radio or television commercials, infomercials, e-learning, apps, audiobooks, film and movie trailers, presentations or character voices, there's a voice here who has read it before. Male and female voice over talent, kids to seniors, announcer to next-door neighbour.

Don't mind who, as long as they're good?

A real pro reads your script for $55. Back in six hours.

Paste up to 60 seconds of script, pay, pick your voice from five professionals. No auditions, no agency, no fuss. If they don't deliver in six hours you pick again, free.

Questions

Straight answers, Austin style.

Are these voice actors actually in Austin?

Some are. The first row on this page lists Austin or the surrounding towns as home on their own profiles. The rest are American voices recording from studios across the country. Every one delivers the same way: you post a script, they record, the file lands in your inbox. Nobody fights the traffic on MoPac.

How fast will I hear auditions of my script?

Usually within the hour, often quicker. Post in the morning and you'll be choosing by lunch. Auditions are real recordings of your words, not stock demos, and they're free.

How much does a Austin voice over cost?

Every voice on the site works from the same published rate card, priced by the length of your script and where it'll be used. You see the rate before you post, and the audition is free either way. The rate card is one click away on the rates page.

Can I give direction?

Yes, and you should. Write it with the script: warm and friendly, upbeat, like a trailer, slower on the disclaimer. The voice actor reads your notes before they record, and you can ask for a revision on the finished file.

What if the finished recording isn't right?

If the first recording isn't right for the job, you pick another voice from the roster and the same script is recorded again. The full terms are on the satisfaction guarantee page, and live chat is there around the clock.
