Recording for San Francisco

Tech, biotech, and a launch every Tuesday.

San Francisco and the Bay Area are where software gets made: the startups south of Market, the giants down the Peninsula, the venture firms on Sand Hill Road, and Genentech and the biotech belt in South San Francisco. Every product launch, onboarding flow, demo video and investor update needs narrating, and it usually needs narrating by Friday. Add tourism, finance and the universities, and all of it needs a voice.

Whatever the recording is for, whether it's medical narrations, corporate video, on-hold messages and 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, San Francisco style.

Are these voice actors actually in San Francisco?

Some are. The first row on this page lists San Francisco, Oakland, the Peninsula or the South Bay 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 sits on the Bay Bridge.

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 San Francisco 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.
