Rachel SEllers - Voice over for Commercials
There is an old phrase, ‘voiceover maketh the advert’. This is not strictly true, but I'll take it! The human voice is still one of the most powerful tools for influencing audiences, and a professional voice artist can really capture the spirit of your company, product, or service by giving sales messages the right tone and character. Sometimes I'm asked for a straight narration, other times it's a case of voice acting, depending on the type of commercial I'm recording.
My job is to use my voice to complement the visual content of the ad, otherwise the message can be lost. Ads work best when the voice and the visuals tell the story together, whether it’s a TV spot, a radio ad, or a 15-second video on someone’s phone. One of my first questions to a client or creative director is 'Who are you targeting?' It's important that my tone of voice suits the audience you're trying to reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of commercial voiceover do you record? I record TV, radio, streaming and online video commercials. Styles range from warm and natural to bright and upbeat, and include premium, understated reads for luxury and beauty brands.
Do you voice ads for Spotify, podcasts and social media? Yes. I voice streaming audio ads for Spotify and podcasts, YouTube pre-roll ads and short-form social ads for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. I can record several cut-downs (for example, 30, 15 and 6 seconds) in one session, so your campaign sounds consistent on every platform.
How are commercial voiceovers priced? Commercial fees usually combine a session fee with a usage fee. The usage fee depends on where the ad will run (TV, radio, online or social), the territory and the length of the campaign. I’m a member of Equity and quote to industry standards. Share your media plan with me and I’ll give you an accurate quote.
Can you record a custom audition for my ad? Yes. I’m happy to record a short custom audition of your script, so you and your client can hear exactly how it will sound.
