American voice over services

American voice over – made easy

Choose from voices that are hand-picked for their:

• Engaging tone
• Broadcast sound quality
• Dependability / reliability

Access a wide range of American voice-overs (with demos categorised by style) including:

• Vibrant, young talent
• 30s and older, more experienced voices
• Child voice actors

Ask about free guidance with:

• Casting
• Script formatting

Because we are a full localisation provider, we understand how planning (or not planning) the translation approach, and chosen script format(s), will impact the success or failure of synchronisation and overall project turnaround. This element is often overlooked, but depending on the project, the benefits of planning it in can be considerable.

Choosing the right dialect & language for American voice over projects

Targeting the whole United States? Neutral American English voice over is usually the right place to start.

However, some projects benefit from more specific casting and localisation, depending on your audience and objectives. We help clients combine:

• Neutral American voice talent for broad national reach
• Regional American voice actors for local authenticity
• American Spanish voice over for Hispanic audiences across the United States
• Canadian voice talent for wider North American campaigns where Canadian targeting is also required

For games, character role play and dramatic productions, you also have access to a wide range of English-speaking accents such as British, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Australian, New Zealand and South African voice over – as well as English-speaking bilingual voice actors across many of the global languages we offer.

Tell us who you need to reach, and we’ll help you choose the most effective voice, accent and language mix for your project.

Accessibility and community outreach

Need to make content more accessible, inclusive or easier to understand? We offer a range of accessibility solutions to help.

Voice over can be highly effective in accessibility-focused projects, community outreach and public information campaigns, particularly where spoken communication is more effective than written content, or where low literacy, local trust or cultural relevance are important.

As well as voice over, we also provide:

• Subtitles
• American Sign Language (ASL) services

And region-specific communication in local or Indigenous languages, such as:

• Lakota
• Dakota

Tell us about your audience, and we’ll help you choose the most effective accessibility and communication solution for your project.

What clients typically ask about American voice over

Do I need neutral American or a regional US accent?
Neutral American voice talent is often preferred for broad national and international communication. Regional American voice actors may be more effective for local authenticity (eg. political campaigns, radio spots, etc), or character work, where diversity can add to the impact and character definition.

Do I need to use an American voice actor for my project?
Yes. For projects targeting US audiences, American voice actors help ensure natural pronunciation, cultural familiarity and audience connection. And with more than 100 available at VTO, there is every chance we already have the perfect voice for your project. We can also advise if a regional accent or alternative English-language voice over would be more effective.

Can you help with creative casting?
Yes. We help clients cast the right American voice talent for character, advertising, corporate and branded projects based on tone, audience and production goals.  We do not charge for casting.

Can I direct the voice talent during the recording session?
Yes. We offer Live-Directed recording sessions by video call, so you can speak to the voice talent, shape the performance in real time and give immediate feedback during the session. If preferred, we can also manage the session on your behalf under your guidance.
