Jessica is pleasure to work with. My team did a session with her today, where we cycled through several approaches to the voice-over one after another, and Jessica delivered perfectly each and every time. Can’t recommend enough!

***If you're booking me directly using Voice123's booking system, please know it is not very flexible nor very accurate. It's a place to start and your project, based on its unique characteristics, could be more expensive or less expensive. If it's a commercial project or for promotion, it will be more and if it's something that's for training or phones, it will be less. After you send a booking, I will respond quickly with an adjustment up or down after we discuss the usage. I do not require you use V123's secure payment service, but we certainly can. I'm also happy to invoice you directly, if you prefer it.***

People Are Saying...
❝A joy to work with and an excellent voiceover artist. Jessica listened to direction well and brought a warm, inviting sound to a somewhat sterile video series.❞
Joe Presser Webby & Shorty-Nominated Animator
❝Fantastic experience working with Jessica on a VO project this week. Jessica is a true professional. Responsive, communicative and flexible. Her work is excellent and we’re really looking forward to working with her again!❞
Miles Chicoine Managing Director, Voquent
❝Please pass our very best on to Jessica, she was GREAT! She had clearly done her homework, looked into the sample and additional versions of the pronunciations, came prepared with questions on anything she was unsure of, and knocked out everything we needed in two takes. It was honestly kind of amazing to witness. I expected that record to be long and painful and she made it short and painless for all of us. So big props to her on that.❞
Rachael Project Manager, Antidote Studio
❝Like ranch dressing, you can put her on anything.❞
Nancy Wolfson Braintracks Audio
❝Jessica is amazing to work with. In addition to being a super-talented voice artist, her positive energy and can-do attitude set her apart. She is professional, dependable, flexible and delivers quality work every time. I wholeheartedly recommend her!❞
Claudia Salmeron Senior Producer at NBCUniversal, Skycastle
❝I had the pleasure of working with Jessica Taylor on a recent video project for Project Angel Heart. Jessica’s read style–friendly, warm, and personable–was perfect for the project! We were especially impressed that Jessica took the time to review our organizational brand/style guide so that she had a strong understanding of our brand voice and tone. Jessica was easy to work with, responded quickly to feedback, and worked hard to make sure the final product was spot-on. We’d love to work with her again on a future project!❞
Amy Daly Director of Marketing & Communications, Project Angel Heart
❝Jessica is both talented & extremely professional! Her response time was super quick and she nailed it on the first take! She also found and corrected several grammar errors in the script that we missed. I will be working with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing voice actress and audio pro!❞
Justin J. Burns Producer Unscripted/Documentary Television
❝Jessica is always a pleasure to work with. First, she has a great voice which is versatile and suitable for an array of projects. Equally important, she is reliable, easy to work with, delivers the work in a timely manner, and communicates often and well. Jessica is a true professional and I would recommend her without hesitation.❞

COMMERCIAL
Why choose Jessica Taylor for your commercial voice over project?
There are a lot of female voices you can choose from, but you need a voice that will cut through the noise. Do you need the gal next door, the loving Mom, the savvy best friend, the in-the-know neighbor, the smart professional sound? Take your pick. You’ll get the voiceover you need taken right from your direction. Our directed session will be short, sweet and satisfying and get you a top-notch woman’s voiceover in a flash.
Commercial voice over is my bread and butter. My vocal age puts me right in the demographic sweet spot for reaching the women who make the majority of spending decisions in households across America.
Intelligent Voice Over for your Radio, TV or Web Campaign
You’ll have a voiceover partner who gets it, which is critical when it comes to understanding your marketing strategy. Do you really need a Juilliard-trained voice actor (I was waitlisted there twice, so I’ve got acting chops), or do you need somebody who has a savvy business sense and gets what you’re trying to achieve with your campaign? Acting for advertising is a specialty in and of itself, with different rules and expectations than being on-stage or on-camera. Whether you need somebody who can sound warm and reassuring, lighthearted and bubbly to excite your audience, or sounding like that cool mom who influences her friends, I got those sounds and more.
My Voice is On-Trend
The future of voice over is epitomized by my voice print. According to a 2019 study by voices.com, voice over will continue to shift towards womens’ voices, with women outpacing men by 2025 – possibly as soon as 2020. Given that women make the majority of household spending decisions, it’s surprising it has taken this long to tip the scales. Buyers are also decreasing their reliance on celebrity voices, preferring voices that are authentic, relatable and genuine. You need a voice that speaks to the heart of your demographic, to make the most of the hard work you’ve done on your campaign.
Reliability and Good Business Practices
Oh and somebody who can follow deadlines and instructions would be nice, too, right? You don’t want that jaded actor who’s just doing voiceover until their next big theater, film or stage gig comes along. Voice over is what I solely live and breathe. You can expect reliability, on-time delivery and impeccable attention to detail. Not only will you get a delightful voiceover, but the process will be a delight, too!
_________________________________________✮_________________________________________
CORPORATE
Why choose me as your female corporate narration voice over talent?
Corporate narration voiceovers provide the perfect opportunity for female voice talent to strategically deliver your product and service messages. Whether it’s B2B, explainers, eLearning, mission statements, corporate imaging, product/process demonstrations, employee training, internal or external communications, my warm and easygoing vocal qualities will connect with the heart and mind of your audience. I will create a naturally enthusiastic sound that will translate as passion for your subject.
I'm Smart When it Comes to Corporate Voiceover
I combine the best of both worlds – the creative and the business. I founded and ran a successful bodywork spa, massage training center and chiropractic office for ten years. My husband is a CTO at IBM, so I actually understand IT copy when I’m recording voice over about blockchain, AI, speech-to-text and more. From tech, to healthcare, to COVID-19 / coronavirus, to education, to cannabis, to whatever you can dream up…I can communicate the story you need to tell.
It’s important that a voice artist have a broad base of knowledge. Understanding the copy is important for being an effective communicator. I bring my business and entrepreneurial background to your project, communicating just like a business associate would.
Female Voice Over Talent with a Contemporary Vocal Age and Neutral Dialect
My corporate voiceovers have a younger sound that’s great for companies looking to keep their brand relaxed and approachable for their B2B, eLearning, internal and external-facing narrations. My approachable sound keeps dry material sounding fresh and interesting, which means your audience is actively engaged in the content. My American sound is perfectly neutral, which keeps from distracting your audience with regionalisms. My vocal age isn’t too young nor too old. Consider me your Goldilocks business voice – just right.
I’m particularly skilled at technical and medical narration, with my background in the alternative health field and avid reading of all things health.
Best of all, I behave like a business professional. You can expect timely and responsive communication, keeping your project on-time and making you look good every step of the way.

MEDICAL
The opportunities to use a voice talent to narrate and voice medical and healthcare videos are endless. From pharmaceuticals, FDA updates, education for medical students, study results, explainers, medical animation, disclaimers, telemedicine to patient safety information – this genre of voiceover is necessary and helpful to so many. As baby boomers continue to move into and through retirement, requiring additional medical services, the necessity for competent communication with this generation of medical buyers is more important than ever. Jessica Taylor is an experienced and sought after medical voice-over actor. She has voiced for multi-national pharmaceutical companies all the way to niche specialty clinics who rely upon her friendly credibility to bring their target demographic effortlessly into the fold.
When To Use An Experienced Medical Voice Talent
Using an experienced voiceover talent for medical projects is ultimately the best way to make a project in this genre go smoothly. You need an experienced talent when:
-You have dense language that needs to sound effortless
-You need the utmost in credibility and authority that stems from a deep base of knowledge in many areas of healthcare
-You have a long and possibly very boring (right?) script that needs a skilled storyteller who can still find the narrative to keep the audience engaged.
These are times when a highly-experienced voice artist is crucial to the success of your project, and the ease with which it can be completed.
Experienced Medical Voice Actress Makes It Easy
A long script with those juicy, eight-syllable or longer words is where Jessica truly shines. She absolutely loves the brain to mouth challenge of dense medical terminology. She has a wide base of existing experience and education to draw upon. She expertly executes on medical words and makes sessions short, sweet and satisfying. She offers astute observations about various pronunciations that may exist for a single word, and is sure to be able to voice whichever version you might want or need.
When you combine that language ability with being able to ask Jessica for acting adjustments like, “Can you make it sound friendlier? Can you make it warmer or more reassuring? Can you shave ten seconds off of it?” then you’ve hit the medical voiceover artist jackpot. She can do all of that while maintaining the utmost in professionalism and confidence, making everybody in the session feel heard and at ease in the hands of a true pro.
Jessica Loves Medical Narration
From a young age, Jessica has always been keenly interested in everything related to the human body. For a number of years, she wanted to become a brain surgeon. She was a highly sought after deep tissue massage therapist working on NFL athletes, Broadway actors and Colorado-tough Ironman triathletes. Jessica voluntarily colored the entire Coloring Book of Human Anatomy. Yes, she is an absolute geek.
Alternative Medicine is Where Jessica Lives
Jessica has a true affinity and love for all alternative medical therapies. She can speak like an experienced practitioner when it comes to topics like functional medicine, physical therapy, homeopathy, herbalism, naturopathy, aromatherapy, acupuncture, bodywork, chiropractic, energy medicine and many more. She ran a successful massage therapist practice for ten years and trained hundreds of therapists around the country in Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy. She was part of opening two successful chiropractic clinics and understands the challenges and demands of running a practice.
She has mothered and treated her three children nearly exclusively with alternative modalities, and many as a result of her own research and practice. She doesn’t just give lip service to alternative modalities, but uses them herself in her everyday life as a mother.
An Experienced and Educated Medical Voice Talent
Jessica is widely read on a variety of medical topics and regularly reads medical journals to keep tabs on what’s happening with doctors, treatments and pathologies. Yes, she does this for fun – and to be ready for many types of pharmaceutical projects that come her way. Having a talent who is experienced in medical work is paramount in making projects like this go smoothly, and you want somebody who can speak from a place of knowing – not just pretending.
A Smart, Credible and Professional Voice
With an approachable, youthful – yet credible and authoritative sound – Jessica brings a refreshing and modern quality to projects that require it. She can sound like that young doctor, nurse, educated granddaughter or therapist who has just the right amount friendly credibility necessary to make inroads with your audience in a way that fosters trust and confidence.
Put Your Project in Jessica’s Hands
Jessica can effectively self-direct and also welcomes directed sessions, in which she deftly executes challenging scripts while making helpful and astute suggestions to make your project go more smoothly than you thought possible – making you look good every step of the way.

EXPLAINER
WHAT MAKES AN EXPLAINER VIDEO…AN EXPLAINER VIDEO?
Ah the explainer video…the perfect video production tool for educating somebody in a succinct and entertaining way. With snappy animation and an authentic and smart voice-over, you can’t lose using this genre of video production. An explainer or whiteboard video unpacks complex or dense material in a way that makes it accessible and usable to your audience. It helps them make a decision, take action and get on with it. Ideally, it saves your audience time in the decision-making process and positions you as a trustworthy expert.
BASICS OF WRITING AN EXPLAINER VOICEOVER SCRIPT
There are four steps to a solid explainer or whiteboard video. First, define your audience’s problem. Second, give them your solution. Third, explain how it works! Finally, tell them what to do next or give them a call to action (CTA). A professional voiceover artist will know how to approach voicing each aspect of the script. That’s the mark of a real pro. I work regularly with top voiceover coaches to milk every bit of persuasion and power out of your well-crafted script.
VOICEOVER FOR EXPLAINER VIDEOS REQUIRES MORE THAN A PRETTY VOICE
A killer female voiceover is so much more than speaking with a smile, having a nice voice and clear diction. I have an absolute love of making the complex sound oh-so-simple and digestible – kind of like putting your arm around a friend and saying, “let’s go for a walk and I’ll tell you all about it.” The most important factor in a standout professional female voiceover for your explainer or whiteboard video is a voice talent who is authentic and believable when they deliver your script. Ideally, the voiceover should sound like a spokesperson who understands the product or service inside and out. It should sound like they wrote the darn thing! I have a unique capability in this genre. My background as an entrepreneur means I can sink into the benefits from a business and marketing point-of-view and that I see the script as a tool for connecting with your customer or audience. For me, it’s a business exercise as much as an acting one.
MY VOCAL SOUND IS SPOT-ON FOR EXPLAINER VIDEOS
Explainers are typically about cutting edge technology or a new way of solving an old problem. My youthful yet smart and savvy sound combine to create the perfect vibe for a top-shelf explainer or whiteboard video. I’ve got that young, up-and-coming female professional sound you want for a contemporary sounding explainer or whiteboard video. I’ve voiced explainers for tech, healthcare, cannabis, Bitcoin, government agencies, COVID-19 / coronavirus, food companies, and more!
USE A TALENT THAT WILL MAKE THE PROCESS SMOOTH AND ENJOYABLE
Sometimes it can be hard to find a creative person who is also a reliable and responsive business professional. I’ll make the process smooth and you’ll never be left wondering when and if your voiceover will be delivered on-time. With my spotless sound, skillful reads and stellar service, you can’t go wrong. Now that I’ve fully…explained myself, let my work speak for itself. Have a listen to my previously produced explainer samples and reach out for a custom audition or quote. I’d be thrilled to be your voiceover partner.

ELEARNING
Why You Need Professional Female Voiceover for Your eLearning Project
Telephony
As tempting as it may be to outsource the voiceover for your training to somebody who “has a good voice” in your office, it’s better to use a professional. Audio quality is the first thing ears pick up on when a course starts – it sets the tone for the credibility of the content and whether or not the student or listener feels receptive to learning.
Elearning is a booming genre in the COVID era. With so many people learning at home, you need a voice actor who can really reach through the screen and bring the human element to your project. In fact, there are so many courses being prepared for virtual presentation these days, that the voice is paramount to cut through the noise and monotony of being on a screen for so much time while learning.
Different Roles I Offer
I have distinctly different sounds I can offer. What about that off-the-cuff, casual sound of a subject matter expert standing in front of a group of people? Or do you want a really polished, professional and confident sound? Or somebody so genuine and friendly you can’t help but listen to what they say? Or the mom who is patiently teaching her students? Or a scenario based character like a call center representative or therapist, who needs to be able to model a particular tone for the listener? I’m a creative and resourceful actress who can customize the sound perfectly to your audience.
Elearning Voice-Over with the Spirit of a Teacher
As a part-time homeschooling mom, I have the spirit of a teacher and place tremendous value on education. Whether’s it’s K-12, post secondary, technical or medical, or something else, my broad base of knowledge informs my elearning narration.
In particular, kids’ modules with remote learning is an area I specialize in. As a mother to three, I understand what it takes to reach children of different ages and how to tweak my mom voice to keep those kiddos engaged.
I’ve even worked as a teacher and presenter in several capacities, and have a confident and kind presence with the ability to transfer knowledge in an engaging manner.
Increase Retention with Professional Voiceover
Don’t put too much on the spoon! A voice over artist who can make the script bite-size will serve your material in a way that increases retention. My goal when I’m voicing? To help the listener or student pass the test at the end – whether that be a literal test or a figurative one of deep understanding. I can help your listener unpack that dense material.
A Plesant Voice for Your Elearning Module
The only person truly tired of my voice is my husband…but I jest. For long compliance, training or educational courses, the voice must be pleasant to listen to. There’s nothing worse than somebody sitting down to a five hour course and two minutes in they realize they really dislike the sound of the narrator’s voice. By adding variety to pitch, tone and inflection, I can avoid being monotonous. I look for opportunities in the script to change the pace or inflection to signal transitions and keep the listeners’ ears tuned to the material.
I don’t have any strong regionalisms, which can be a real distraction during a course. Imagine a narrator who has a strong Long Island accent…well, if you live in Long Island that might a’ight, but if not? At best a distraction and at worst a real turn-off.
How to Get Professional Voiceover
Getting quality voiceover doesn’t have to be hard, and I’m happy to walk you through it step by-step. I love working with people who’ve never hired professional voice talent before. My style is to always under-promise and over-deliver when working with my clients. No project is too large or too small, because my goal is for us to create great things again and again. It’s as simple as requesting a quote by briefly describing the sound you’re looking for, and sharing the script with me. I’m happy to provide free read samples that we can send back and forth to get the read exactly how you want it. I typically turn projects around in 24-hours. Don’t have a script yet? Give me a sense of how long the finished project will be and I can still give you a ballpark estimate.
_________________________________________✮_________________________________________
TELEPHONY
Why use me as your female voice over talent for your IVR system?
I have a welcoming, reassuring, naturally confident, warm and relaxed sound that comes across with my authentic personality. I lend a genuine enthusiasm that will engage your customer while they are waiting to talk with somebody.
I’m ready for phone projects of any size. I’ve done simple jobs for C-level executives who want a professional voice on their smartphone, all the way up to 15,000-prompt phone trees for large companies. No project is too big or small.
Maybe your phones could use an update during the new coronavirus / COVID-19 times we’re living in, or you want to shape up your presence and branding for every aspect of your business and brand.
What can professional Interactive Voice Response do for your business?
Using your phone system as an extension of your business and brand is just smart. Using a voice that can communicate your brand from the first word is even better. Don’t let those few minutes a customer is on-hold go to waste.
Every interaction a customer has with your company is an opportunity to deepen their impression of what you stand for, what you offer and what benefit they can receive from doing business with you. Don’t waste any opportunities by letting somebody in the office record your messages.
There’s only one chance to make a first impression. Use it to your advantage by hiring me as your female voice over actress to voice your IVR, phone messages, on-hold messages and greetings.
I'm a Business Professional, Just Like You
I was a business owner for ten years. I understand the demands and deadlines of the business world. You can expect timely and responsive communication, keeping your project on-time and making you look good every step of the way.

FAQs
What file formats can you deliver in?
I typically deliver via WeTransfer, unless you have a specific preference, and can send MP3, WAV, or AIFF.
What are your rates?
Please contact me for a copy of my Non-Broadcast Rate Sheet. Commercial or For-Broadcast projects are highly individual and custom-quoted.
I use the GVAA Rate Guide as a basis for those quotes.
What does self-direct versus live-direct mean?
When I self-direct, I will start by sending you a sample read of a portion of your script based on a description you send me. You might ask for something that sounds professional yet friendly. Once you get that sample, you respond with additional direction like, “That sounds great for the energy, but can you speed it up a little?” Then I’ll send another read sample by email. Once I get an "ok" by email, I’ll record the entire script, edit and finish it, and send it to you within 24 hours.
For a live session, we schedule a time to connect with one another—by Skype, Source Connect, ISDN, cell phone, carrier pigeon, etc... Typically, I record the script once so you can hear it in its entirety and get a sense of the timing. Then we may take it paragraph by paragraph with you making requests for how you want it read. That might sound like:
“Would you add a comma between industry and resources?”
“Would you make the last sentence of the graph sound more definitive and matter-of-fact?”
If you aren’t sure of how to direct the session, I’ll also be happy to make suggestions. Directing the session can seem intimidating if you’ve never done it before, but if you know you have a very specific sound or style you’re looking for, it’s the best way to get exactly what you want.
Then, I’ll do a rough cut on the session after we hang up. This means I’ll delete us talking in between me performing your script, so it’s easier for you to edit it together. Usually, when a client requests a live session, I send the raw and unedited file to you immediately after I make the rough cut. It’s then up to you to edit the file, as necessary.
Would you send me a sample read of my project before I hire you?
Absolutely! I’m happy to audition for your project. Email me a script and give me an idea of the sound you’re looking for. If you haven’t directed talent before or are unsure of how to describe what you want, you can check out my many work samples on YouTube or on one of my demos and say, “I like the sound you have on that Bitcoin explainer,” for example.
Then, I’ll do a rough cut on the session after we hang up. This means I’ll delete us talking in between me performing your script, so it’s easier for you to edit it together. Usually, when a client requests a live session, I send the raw and unedited file to you immediately after I make the rough cut. It’s then up to you to edit the file, as necessary.
What if I change the script after you’ve recorded?
Easy. Included in all of my quotes is a 10% word count budget toward a single re-record for your project. If you decide to change your script significantly, I charge 75% of the original cost to record it again.
What if I’m not satisfied with the recording?
In the unlikely event that happens, I include unlimited re-reads to get the sound you like. If we’ve recorded once already and the read isn’t quite what you’re looking for, then it would be best for us to get on the phone together and have you direct me live.
If we just can’t arrive at what you’re looking for, then there will be no charge. Honestly, though, that has never happened.
What does the "read" mean?
The "read" is the style, tone, and energy of the voiceover.
An example of direction for the read would be:
“I want the voiceover to sound conversational and friendly – like you’re talking to a neighbor.”
What kind of equipment do you use?
My microphone is a Townsend Labs Sphere L22. If you know about this mic, then you know it can emulate many of the top-end and vintage mics. I have mine emulating a Coles ribbon mic, which brings out the very best in my particular mid-high female range.
The cool thing is that if you’re an audio snob, or if you're particularly wanting a specific mic, I can emulate that sound uber-convincingly. If this is all too technical, don’t worry about it—I’ve got a great microphone!
Pre-amp: Adobe Twin Duo
Software: Adobe Audition
Hardware: Mac Mini
What’s your studio like?
Thankfully, I’m not much into fashion. I converted mine and my husband’s walk-in closet into a sweet studio space.
Sound treatment: ATS Acoustic EcoPanels on three walls
Ceiling treatment: Hanging tile about 18” over my head
Floor treatment: Two layers of carpet
Door treatment: Four layers of velvet curtains
Internet: Hard-wired directly into my studio for the best reliability
Should I tip a voice actor?
If you're hiring voice talent on freelance sites, you're asked to tip voice talent as you check out, so maybe that’s where this perception comes from.
Please do not feel obligated to tip professional voice talent. It is never expected!
Referrals and future work are always the best way to show your gratitude to a freelance voiceover artist.
Have you had your voice cloned?
I can assure you that you won’t hear an AI version of my voice narrating your favorite reels on social media.
I am human-only. My voice has not been cloned or synthesized for licensed or non-licensed use by any company or agency.
It is unique and only available in the fully living, breathing version.
Do you do dubbing?
Yes! I’ve been trained by one of the best in the business for live-action dubbing:
Instructor: Fannie Brett-Rabault of 7Holdings Media
Methodology: Trained using Voice Q/Rhythmo Band
