FAQs:
-
Amazing. I’m stoked to work with you! Click on the BOOK ME button above you and I’ll get you sorted.
-
I’m based in beautiful San Francisco. (And yes I like the fog.)
-
My heritage is Jewish and Eastern European.
I’m originally from the former Soviet Union. This means that I speak Russian fluently and Ukrainian (but only with intensive dialect coaching from good ole mom and dad.)
I also speak a neutral Spanish that sounds more from Spain and less from Central and South America.
In general, I have a great ear and can do accents/ pronounce most words in other languages correctly.
However, if you are looking for a person whose heritage and lived experience is something else: please hire them!
If you need help finding a particular voice with a particular lived experience, reach out! I know lots and lots of wonderful, talented people.

Do you want to share your story with customers?

First of all, that’s administrative business partner to you Bob.
And second of all, you want to put your best foot forward so hire the talent to help you do it. You’ll be able to hear the difference and your customers will too.

That’s the amazing thing about a voice ACTOR, they have the acting training to sound just like a regular human being talking to their best friend over a cup of organic fair trade coffee.
(But pro tip for you, if you want them to sound like a regular human, write copy that sounds like an actual human would say it….you probably wouldn’t tell your best friend all about this great new THNEED you’ve discovered by starting off your chat with the word “introducing.”)

An excellent resource that helps you estimate fair and equitable rates is the GVAA Rate Guide.
But in a nutshell, cost depends on:
The length of your script -is it a :30 second spot or a 60 min documentary narration?
The usage of the voiceover - is it being used for broadcast media (like TV or radio?) or will it live on your website and the occasional YouTube pre roll ad?
Other considerations include the territory (local, regional, national) and the duration of the spot (how many media cycles is it being used for? Or do you need it in perpetuity?)
Best thing to do: just reach out and I can send an estimate for your project.

Wow. Tough break.
But hey, no worries and thanks for letting me know.
Do you still need someone to tell your story though?
Because I’d like to help.
I know a lot of brilliant, professional voice actors who probably sound nothing like that orchid murdering ex girlfriend of yours. Why don't you click on the BOOK ME button above, let me know more about your project, and we can go from there.
