Dallas, Texas · Voiceover
Tell me what it needs to sound like, and I’ll forge it — commercials, narration, audiobooks, e-learning, and the voice on the other end of the line.
The work
Five kinds of read, one booth. Pick the job you need, send the script and the deadline, and the direction gets set from there.
Thirty seconds that have to sell without shouting. Send the script and the air date; you get a read that sounds like a person, not a pitch.
Book this readDocumentary, brand film, museum audio. A steady, unhurried read an audience can follow for a full hour without noticing they’re being guided.
Book this readLong-form fiction and nonfiction, read with the characters kept straight from the first chapter to the last.
Book this readModules that sound like a colleague explaining something, not a system reciting it. Long scripts welcome.
Book this readMenus, prompts and on-hold messages. Clear the first time someone hears it, and still friendly the tenth.
Book this readFour beats
Four steps, the same every time. No mystery about where a job stands.
Send the script, the deadline, and a reference for the tone you’re after. If the direction is still forming, say so — we shape it together.
Into the booth, light on, door shut. The script gets recorded in full and sits on the bench for a listen before anything leaves the room.
Notes get taken and lines get re-cut. Pronunciation, pace, a sentence that needs a different color — all fair game.
Files arrive in the format your editor asked for, named clearly, ready to drop straight into the timeline.
The studio
The Voice Smith is a Dallas voiceover studio: a small treated room, a good microphone, black tools laid out within reach, and a magenta hammer that started as a joke and stayed.
A job arrives as a finished script with a deadline stamped on it, or as one sentence about how it should feel. Both are welcome at this bench — the read gets shaped either way.

Commission a read
Fill in the slip and send it across. You’ll hear back about availability, the direction the read should take, and anything the script needs before it goes in front of the mic.
Not sure which service fits? Put it in the notes in plain words — plenty of jobs start as a rough idea and a deadline.
