Narrator voice

A narrator who sounds like they were there.

Narration is the long game: hold attention for four minutes or forty without a single line sounding read. The narrators here do it for broadcasters, brands and museums, and they audition free.

  • Free auditions of your script
  • Published rates, no haggling
  • Long scripts, one session

Narrators

Voices that carry a long read.

Each of these has a narration demo. Listen for the thing that matters over minutes, not seconds: an even, unforced pace that never tips into monotone.

Voices who record this kind of work. Names are first names only until you book.

Every narrator on the roster
What narration needs

Stamina, warmth, and a pronunciation list.

Priced by word count

Narration is priced on the words in the script, not the minutes it runs. A thousand words is about seven minutes at a natural pace; the rate card does the rest.

Names and terms, spelled out

Send a list of names, places and technical words with a phonetic spelling. It is the single thing that saves a re-record.

Timed to picture, or not

If the read has to hit exact cuts, book it as synced and the narrator records to your video. Rough timings for your editor to match are ordinary narration.

How hiring works here

Three steps, no middleman.

You deal with the voice, the site holds the money, and the price is the one on the rate card before you start.

1

Post a casting, or pick a voice

Paste a few lines of your script and post a free casting; voices who suit it read those lines back to you. Already heard the one you want? Book them straight from their profile.

2

Choose from real reads

Auditions arrive as recordings of your words in their voice, usually within hours. Pick the one that fits, or none of them. Nothing is owed until you book.

Documentary, corporate and e-learning narration each have their own line on the rate card, all buyouts you own outright.

Questions people ask

Questions about narration.

What is the difference between a narrator and a voice actor?
A narrator is a voice actor whose craft is the long read: steady pace, clear structure, the sense of a person telling you something rather than reading it. Most narrators also record commercials; not every commercial voice can narrate.
How long a script can one narrator record?
Whole documentaries, hour-long training courses and full audio guides are normal. Long scripts are usually delivered in chapters or sections so your editor can start before the last one is read.
Can I direct the narration session live?
Yes. Book a directed session and you listen in over a call while the narrator records, giving notes as you go. Most narration is self-directed from a good brief, which costs less.
Do narrators read to picture?
They can. Send the video and timecodes and book it as synced. If your editor will lay the voice to the cut afterwards, an ordinary narration with a pace note is enough.

Tell the story properly.

Paste the opening paragraph, hear it narrated by voices who do this for a living, and book the one you would keep listening to.
