The Process
Strategy Call
We’ll start with a call to discuss your needs in regards to your demo and get a sense for your voice style and the kinds of spots that will best showcase your talent. We will also discuss your recording studio options and assess audio quality.
I only want to create demo reels that will truly serve the talent I work with, and therefore I will assess whether or not you are ready for a reel before beginning the process with you. This means that your skill level as a VO Talent as well as your ability to record quality audio must meet a certain threshold.
If you do not yet have a home studio, I can help you find a local studio to record in.
Training/Prep Session
After the Strategy call, I will develop the scripts for your demo and provide them to you to familiarize yourself with and practice. During the Training/Prep session we will work to get the best performance of these scripts so that by the time you step in front of the mic, they sound believable and authentic, and not like an actor reading lines (even though that’s what you’re doing!)
If your schedule permits, I usually like to roll right into the Recording Session directly after this.
Recording Session
We will then hold a live recording session, where I listen in and provide feedback to ensure we get your best performance of the scripts captured and ready to be implemented into your reel.
You can record from your own home studio or a local studio of your choosing as long as I am able to listen in.
All Voice-Over Roadmap Demo Reels Include:
Custom Written Copy
I will write copy specifically for your voice and style, avoiding any words or phrases that may sound inauthentic or troublesome to ensure we are presenting your voice in its best light
Hand Selected Music and SFX uniquely edited to your reel
Music and SFX will be sourced specifically for the spots on your reel and edited to fit these spots and create realistic representations of your voice in actual client work
Professional Mixing and Mastering
All demo reels are edited, mixed, and mastered to industry standards to ensure competitiveness with demos from top VO talent
Individual Clips
In addition to the fully edited demo reel, I will provide each individual spot on your reel as it’s own separate file. This is handy if you’d like to post individual clips on your site/profiles or make alternate versions of your reel on your own with different orders
1 Round of Revisions
Creating a demo reel is a creative, collaborative process. I understand that you may want adjustments after hearing your new reel for the first time and I include a complementary round of revisions where you can have me do things such as change the order of spots on the reel, adjust volumes of different elements, change music or sfx, and other adjustments to the overall editing/mix of your reel

Here’s what VO Talent are saying about making a Demo with Michael!
As a working voice actor, my demos are the most important part of my marketing. When one of my agents reminded me it was probably time for some new material, I decided to take a shot at working with Michael. I'd had demos done by big name producers in the past, but was looking for something more personal. His process achieved just that. Michael took his time getting to know me and my voice, and this came through in the final product. His awareness of current media trends combined with his own voiceover experience really helped get the most out of my performances. On the technical side, the music beds he chose are great and Michael's audio engineering skills are top notch. I highly recommend working with Michael and will definitely use him again for future demos.
-Timothy Campbell
I recently worked with Michael on my e-learning and narration demos, and the experience was exceptional. He guided me through the entire process with clarity and professionalism. We worked seamlessly together, and I’m extremely pleased with how both demos turned out. Michael brought out the best in my performance, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
"Working with Michael on my voice over demo reels was an absolute pleasure! From the moment we started, he was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive, guiding me through the entire process with ease. Great communication, responding to any questions or concerns I had. He worked with me to ensure that the demo reels reflected my capabilities and aligned with my interests. Michael's direction during the recordings was invaluable. Overall, it was a fun and seamless experience, and I would definitely work with him again. Thanks, Michael, for helping me showcase my voice in the best possible light!"
