COMMERCIAL VOICEOVER

Austen is a professional male voice actor with more than a decade of experience, and his voice has been featured in hundreds of commercial campaigns across television, radio, digital, and streaming platforms. He takes pride in delivering reads that feel conversational, relatable, authentic, and believable because modern audiences want a real person, not a sales pitch. Over the years, Austen has collaborated with leading brands across industries, always focusing on creating a connection that feels natural while keeping the message clear and engaging.

When a campaign calls for a voice that is approachable and engaging while still maintaining professionalism, Austen provides the versatility to meet the need. From casual “guy next door” performances to confident, commanding reads, he adapts with ease to suit the tone of any project. All work is recorded in Austen’s professional studio, ensuring broadcast quality audio. He also offers mixing, sound design, and music integration, so every project is polished and ready to deliver. Whether it’s a national television spot, a streaming ad, or a local radio campaign, Austen approaches each read with the same focus: clarity, authenticity, and professionalism.

There’s nothing worse than feeling like you have “found the voice” of your campaign, only to get into a session and realize they cannot replicate a voiceover read. I have heard this story time and time again from clients. They find a voice they think will work, but the talent is either just too new, or not a professional and doesn’t know how to recall reads on command. It’s incredibly frustrating!

That is never going to be an issue with an experienced voice actor, like yours truly. I’ve been doing this professionally for over ten years. A large percentage of my clients are repeats. I make a massive effort to not only be the best, but also the easiest talent you’ve ever worked with.

I consistently deliver the reads you’re looking for, can adapt on the fly and take great pride in make short work of directed sessions.

All of that comes from experience. Whether I’m working on a national TV campaign for a Fortune 500 company, or a local radio campaign for a local business, my effort will always be the same: 100%. Everyone’s campaign is important and my only goal is to ensure you, your clients and every single stakeholder in the project is thrilled with the final result.

My client list ranges from food and beverage brands, to healthcare, household items, lifestyle products, financial services, automotive brands, higher education, entertainment clients and so many more.

Audiences today don’t want to be shouted at they want to hear from someone they trust. That’s why so many brands turn to Austen for conversational voice over. He delivers reads that sound like a recommendation from a friend approachable, genuine, and unforced. This style doesn’t pressure the listener; it invites them into the story. By making the message sound natural, the audience feels free to make their own decision, which is exactly how trust is built. Authenticity has been the driving force behind Austen’s career, helping campaigns connect with consumers on a human level so the message resonates long after it’s heard.

No artificial intelligence here. You will never get a read from me that sounds robotic, stiff, or anything remotely resembling A.I. Why? It just doesn’t connect. Our ears are remarkably adapted to picking up on the subtleties of human language. As good as A.I. is, we just know it when we hear it. A human voice is able to put nuance, uniqueness or quirk into a voiceover delivery that a computer just cannot replicate.

Real brands want real people to buy their products. The best way to do that is using a real, human, voice.
There is a warmth and emotional connection that comes from one human speaking to another. It’s the optimal medium for conveying information because, quite simply, it’s what we’ve evolved to listen to as humans. Humans like real human voices. Who would’ve thought!

Styles of Commercial Voice Over
No two campaigns are the same. Austen offers a range of commercial read styles, each tailored to a brand’s goals.

Conversational & Relatable
Friendly, approachable, and natural, the “trusted friend” or “older brother” tone that makes a message feel authentic.

Bold & Commanding
Strong, confident, and dynamic, ideal when presence and authority carry the story.

Warm & Welcoming
Inviting, smooth, and empathetic, great for moments where comfort and connection matter.

Calm & Reassuring
Soothing, thoughtful, and sincere, a natural fit for healthcare, financial, or trust driven campaigns.

Upbeat & Playful
Energetic and engaging, perfect for youth focused spots, toys, games, and lifestyle brands.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As AI generated voices enter the marketplace, authenticity has never been more important. Austen provides the warmth, quirks, and subtleties that only a human voice can deliver.

Audiences can tell the difference and they respond to the genuine connection that Austen creates. His performances add nuance, heart, and individuality to every campaign, ensuring that your brand stands out.
