I have recorded voice-over lectures and announcements for online English courses I have taught for the University of Maryland. I record these at home using my own microphones, interface, and software. Recently, I have recorded a script to be used with an avatar in an online tutorial.
As a musician, I have recorded narratives over my musical compositions. These recordings were used as part of performances at a few Washington, D.C. art galleries.
I do not have much formal voice-over experience, but I have had non-speaking roles in a few television commercials and years of experience recording in professional studios. A few film producers and studio engineers suggested that I look into doing more voice-over work.
