Explainer

In an explainer, the voice needs to make the message feel easy to follow. I help teams get there quickly, even when the cut switches, the script updates, or the feedback creates yet another change.

I’ll match your pacing and intent, then deliver takes in a way that makes approvals and pickups easy.

If you’re still deciding on tone, send the script or rough cut. I can give you a quick read in two directions so you can pick the lane.

Different explainer projects need different things from the voice. Some want warmth and trust. Some need more lift. Some want a little personality without going too broad.

The reads I’m most often booked for are:
Warm and direct for pieces that need clarity without feeling stiff.
Bright without hype when the edit wants more energy.
Lightly playful when the animation has personality and the read can meet it.

If you’ve got a reference, great. If not, send the script, three words you want it to feel like, and one thing you want to avoid.

Case Study

Helping educational video feel friendly, warm, and easy to follow

Kitchen 101

This 11-video kitchen basics series needed a read that felt friendly, warm, and easy to follow across multiple videos, without tipping into dry “instructional” territory. The team also needed timing that stayed close to picture, plus flexibility when a few last-minute script changes came in.

I recorded two takes of each script so the editors had options, matched timing closely to the existing cuts, and turned around a quick pickup when one section needed to be revised. The client was happy with the final reads, and the project only needed one small pickup after delivery, helping keep post smooth and straightforward across the full series.

Project snapshot: 11-video series • educational/explainer • two takes per script • close-to-picture timing • quick pickup turnaround
