Explainer Videos

Engaging, dynamic, versatile explainer video voiceover.

Explainer videos are a critical marketing, sales, service delivery and customer service tool for many companies. They can serve many functions, but often are used to (you guessed it), explain! They are teaching or informational tools to help people using or thinking about using your product or service.

Whether it’s a car company explaining how to use their new features, an insurance company explaining how to sign up for a new policy, or a healthcare company explaining how to maximize health benefits, there is much information to share, and to ensure the best retention, it’s been proven time and time again that engaging, friendly, conversational, relatable male voiceover works exceptionally well.

A PROFESSIONAL EXPLAINER VIDEO VOICE ACTOR WITH CREATIVITY AND RANGE.

Explainer videos are an essential tool for many companies. They help highlight features, work as a “how to” or DIY resource, among many other things.

When you hire a voice actor who specializes in explainer videos, you’re hiring someone who has perfected the ability to deliver a lot of information in a way that is interesting and takes the “dryness” out of it. That’s the key. You want to hire an actor who can make your words and information come alive, become real and tangible so that a consumer can use your product, understand your service and ultimately, connect with your brand.

I’ve worked on hundreds of explainer videos over a decade plus long-career. I bring to the table a range of tones, from relatable and conversational, to commanding and bold, and everything in between. No two brands have the same needs, and my goal is to make sure I give you a perfect read that helps explain what you need concisely, with enthusiasm and genuine connection. This helps a customer feel like they’re getting wisdom from not only a trusted friend, but also an authority figure who has the answers!

WHAT ARE EXPLAINER VIDEOS?

Explainer videos are generally short, concisely written informative videos that explain how to use a product or service. They can serve many different functions, but they key ingredient is information. They typically pair relatable and friendly voiceover with on-screen animations showing the “how to” process.

Explainer videos often serve as a visual form of instructions that help teach or inform a consumer about a product or service.

WHAT INDUSTRIES USE EXPLAINER VIDEOS?

Explainer videos are such a versatile tool that they are used across most industries in some form. A few of the most common industries you’ll find them are: auto, healthcare, insurance, finance, technology and non-profits.

Depending on the needs of each video and industry, they can come in the form of a series of explainer videos that demonstrate capabilities of a service or product, so that a consumer can easily begin to use or work with it.

WHY IS VOICEOVER IMPORTANT TO AN EXPLAINER VIDEO?

The reason professional, relatable and genuine voiceover is so important to explainer or tutorial videos is because it is the first post-purchase interaction a customer will have with your brand. They may have already purchased your product, but if they are subjected to boring, uninspired videos on how to use the product or service, they will be turned off to your product and brand. They will start to associate your brand with those videos, and if it is a negative experience, your brand will fall in favorability.

A great voice actor with years of know-how and experience can elevate simple explainer videos from just information, to another opportunity to make your brand shine. Hiring a voice actor who can make the words come alive and feel interesting, while delivering the information succinctly and in a fun way, will help a customer feel at ease, and believe they are in expert, caring hands. In short: great voiceover equals great experience, equals positive brand relationship, and THAT equals more future opportunity to monetize a customer.

CAN I JUST USE AN AI VOICE FOR MY EXPLAINER?

Using an AI voice, while a possibility these days, is never the preferred option. Can you save a little money up front? Possibly, but ask yourself: at what cost? If you have a series of 10, 20, 30 videos you need to work on to explain how to use a new app, or how to most effectively use a new purchase, do you really want your customer to be subjected to hearing a monotonous, robotic, disconnected AI voice? What are the consequences of this? Maybe the customer will feel once they’ve purchased your product, that you simply don’t care enough about them to provide an interesting, engaging set of explainer or tutorial videos to teach them. Will they feel undervalued? Could they be annoyed listening to the voice? All of these questions are important to consider, when you long at the long-tail relationship with your customers. If you want them to feel valued at every step, the extra little “human touch” will go further than you know.

CASUAL, REAL CONVERSATION IS KEY

Nobody wants to be talked “at”. Humans like to be talked “with”. In other words, they like to have conversations with real people. Excellent explainer video voiceover is able to naturally balance sharing lots of important information over a short period of time, with making it feel like a relaxed, easy-going conversation with a buddy or friend. If it feels to formal or stiff, it can be a turn-off that drives people to either not finish an explainer video, or simply avoid them altogether. This can drastically affect the user experience of a product, and if it’s negatively affected, you can lose customers and future sales because of it.

A VERSATILE VOICE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Versatility and adaptability are crucial attributes to offer as a voice actor. No single brand or service is the same. The uniqueness of both product and marketing strategy are the critical elements that set you a part. Your voice actor should do the same.

An authoritative read may be preferable for a financial service commercial, while a youthful, laid back, conversational male voice may be best for an outdoor or travel spot. Maybe you need a charismatic, cheeky voice over for a male-centric audience like a motorcycle brand, cologne or fishing commercial. Or you could be on the hunt for a believable, heartfelt, empathetic delivery for a healthcare ad or new cancer medication. There are so many styles and reads possible, and as your potential voice artist, I take a great deal of pride in being able to provide authentic, strong and perfectly suited reads, every time.

Sometimes marketing strategies go against the norms on purpose, and a voice talent should be able to do that as well!

PERFECT AUDIO QUALITY, EVERY TIME

Quality audio recordings are a must-have these days. The fastest way to turn an audience away from your brand is with poor quality, low-fidelity voiceover recordings.

With recording technology continually becoming more and more accessible, the quality and standards are being raised ever higher. You need a voice talent like me that understands this and can provide you with top-of-the-line, world-class recordings every time.

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a voice actor. You’re hiring an audio engineer who has spent over a decade producing, editing, mixing and perfecting commercials across a wide spectrum of clients. I’ve spent thousands of hours on ear-training, have premium equipment and record in a commercial-grade recording studio.

I challenge you to find any studio or voice actor in the world who can consistently and quickly provide you the level of service and quality recordings I can. There’s a reason companies like Disney, Apple, Amazon, Winnebago, De’Longhi and so many more come back over and over again. They know that to maximize their marketing investment, they need the best quality, and that is exactly what they and you get when working with me.

CLEAR AND ARTICULATE MESSAGING

Articulation and clear intention in a voiceover delivery is key to the success of a campaign.

While a voice is often used to support visuals on screen, what about when it’s audio only? Conveying intent of a message through inflection, tone, brightness, pitch, modulation and more are all necessary to make sure your message is understood by an audience.

Articulation is the ability for a voice actor to clearly pronounce words, so that an audience or consumer has no trouble understanding them. It’s a skill that gets perfected with practice over years. With the amount of hoops you have to jump through getting your copy approved, of course you would want a listener or viewer to be sure of what they heard! Clean, clear, punch articulation is what you will get when working with me, and I guarantee that there will be perfect understanding of your copy, every time.

AN EXPERT VOICE ACTOR IN TELEVISION & RADIO

Some voice actors excel as audiobook narrators. Some as anime dubbing actors. For me, I excel as a commercial voice actor for television commercials and radio advertising.

Over the years, I’ve found that my greatest strength is in delivering unassuming, natural, friendly, believable reads, that are just perfect for a wide gamut of products.

As a millennial male voice actor, my voice is the voice of the primary consumer in this modern era. I excel at crafting voiceover reads that lay in a mix smoothly and easily, so that I am always talking TO and not AT an audience. I understand the difference between reading copy, and delivering a sincere message.

I connect with the copy and have a strong grasp on the writer’s intent because I myself am a commercial copywriter. I know the goals of creating marketing pieces and thus understand how to use my instrument, my voice, to effectively pinpoint and deliver on that intent and goal.

WARM, WELCOMING, ENGAGING READS

Warm, welcoming and engaging reads are the backbone of many marketing strategies. Audiences want to feel invited to try a product or service, not told to do so. The key element to making that sell is a voice that embodies the warmth, inviting and engaged vibe you’re aiming for.

As a potential voice actor on your project, this is something I have been hired for time and time again. There is a brightness to a smile, and a warmth that comes from the tone of my voice that I work very hard to make easy for audiences to pick up on. I believe this largely comes from me being such an authentically happy person! I have a zeal for life, and am so grateful to be able to work as a voice actor full-time and professionally, that I can’t help but have that come through in my reads!

THE VOICE OF TRUST AND CONFIDENCE

While warmth and welcoming are so important in many types of voiceover for marketing, having a voice of confidence and trust can be just as important.

While most marketing does tend towards happy or bright, there are times when more serious things are being discussed. Finance, healthcare, life insurance, political ads, and so many more will want a more authoritative, confident and sometimes powerful voice to be the focal point. This is because that strength and conviction are key ingredients in making an audience understand that your brand is the expert in this particular field. That your company, product, or service is the trusted voice of authority to make sure they, the consumer, are taken care of.

While I am no Morgan Freeman, I do take pride in providing a more millennial,  youthful voice of authority as a mature, yet not “old” sounding voice of reason. Like your older brother, looking out for your best interests at every turn.

BRAND COMMERCIALS

Branding and being a brand voice can be a make-0r-break for a campaign. Often, a company will seek out a talented voice actor who can be their “brand voice” that will personify their brand across all advertising mediums. For example, the Geico Gecko being Jake Wood, Brian Cox for McDonald’s and so on. These “brand voices” help an audience know instantly which company is talking to them, and helps to establish trust and a unique identity that sets them apart from others.

I would love a chance to be the voice for your brand, across all mediums of advertising, and with my versatility and flexibility as an actor, I know I can help create an incredible campaign that will help sell your brand and endear you to consumers.

HEALTHCARE AND WELLNESS ADS

Healthcare and wellness advertising is one of the biggest categories, and is growing rapidly. As our population deals with increasing health risks and threats like COVID-19, an aging demographic, new medical advances like Ozempic, and the mental health crises, it will only become more and more important for caregivers, hospitals and clinics to reach audiences where they are, with services they need.

The voice you choose will have a huge impact on how a listener or viewer perceives you, and their ultimate decision to make your their provider, pharmaceutical, hospital or clinic of choice. Allow me to help make that choice easy for your potential customers, with voice acting and voiceover that is deeply empathetic, connected, dynamic and confident. I would love to be your medical voice of expertise.

COMMERCIAL CHARACTERS THAT CONNECT

Sometimes a commercial needs character work. Could be an actor in the role of an employee, an on-screen character’s inner monologue, or even a non-human object or character like a dog, cat or even cloud! Marketing comes in all shapes and sizes, forms and functions and when a commercial or radio advertisement calls for characters, I want to be your go to.

Outside of straight narrator commercial reads, a large portion of my work as a voice actor is in the animation and interactive space. I have a wealth of authentic characters and accents at my disposal and I would love to add a creative stamp on your ad with genuine character work that elevates your brand’s originality, comedy and appeal.

TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION ADS

Technology is moving forward at an ever-increasing pace. Seems like every week there’s some new major breakthrough, a new A.I., a new computer, a new piece of tech that will help make our lives easier, more connected or more efficient.

The voice that helps break through that noise, is that of a trusted, friendly expert. Someone who sounds young enough that they could be the inventor, or a first user, but also mature enough that they understand the tech and can explain it with ease.

That nuanced performance is something clients turn to me for time and time again, as a youthful middle-millennial sounding voice with both the confidence to appear as an authority on a product, and the warmth and friendliness to welcome new users into using it.
