Dan Sheldon | Voice over actor

Contact: dan@dansheldonvoice.com | Website: DanSheldonVoice.com For more than two decades, Dan Sheldon has built his career on clarity, confidence, and connection. An Emmy Award–winning producer and host turned full-time voice actor, Dan brings the precision of live broadcasting and the nuance of seasoned storytelling to every read. His voice projects authority without ego, warmth without artifice, and professionalism without pretense. From Broadcasting to Voice Acting Dan began his career in television and radio, working across the United States in all four mainland time zones. That national exposure gave him a deep understanding of how regional tone, pacing, and personality affect audience perception—insight that now informs his delivery on both regional and global campaigns. In Portland, he became a familiar face and voice as lead host for Rip City Radio’s “Rip City Mornings” and as a regional television anchor for Trail Blazers coverage and sports programming. His work earned multiple Emmy Awards for excellence in broadcasting, along with recognition as Oregon Sportscaster of the Year (2015). Those years honed his instinct for timing, clarity, and emotional rhythm—the same instincts that now drive his success behind the mic. Precision and Performance After years of working under the unforgiving deadlines of live TV and radio, Dan brought that discipline to the world of voiceover. Every project benefits from his broadcast-tested reliability, sharp attention to detail, and respect for client timeframes. “If you need it ten minutes ago,” he says, “I understand—I’ve lived that world.” Master of Short-Form Storytelling Dan specializes in commercial, promo, and corporate narration, with particular strength in finance, medical, and technology. He thrives on the challenge of telling a story within tight time constraints—hitting emotional and informational notes with balance and economy. His reads are clean, confident, and conversational, designed to engage audiences without overselling. Versatile and Client-Focused Ask Dan what defines his work and he’ll tell you: it’s about the client, not the voice. His approach centers on making producers, creative directors, and brands look their best. Known for fast turnarounds, collaborative flexibility, and meticulous consistency, he’s the rare talent who delivers broadcast-ready files with minimal revision. Studio and Technical Edge Dan records from a professionally treated studio using a Sennheiser MKH 416 microphone, Apollo Twin X interface, and Reaper workstation on Mac. Directed sessions are available via Source Connect, Zoom, or Skype, ensuring seamless client communication. Most projects are completed within 12–24 hours, fully edited and ready for delivery. A Voice of Modern Credibility Dan’s sound sits comfortably in the realm of Jon Hamm and George Clooney—grounded, conversational, and composed. It’s a modern masculine tone: confident but approachable, authoritative yet human. Whether narrating a corporate presentation, a heartfelt PSA, or a cinematic brand film, his delivery carries both credibility and warmth. Trusted by Major Brands Dan’s client list includes Oracle, AT&T, NBC Sports, Mercedes-Benz, HP, IBM, the U.S. Navy, USAA, and iHeartRadio. These partnerships reflect both his technical excellence and his reputation for reliability—trusted by companies that expect premium quality and precise execution. Collaboration and Craft Creative partners describe Dan as approachable, adaptable, and exacting. He interprets direction quickly, offers multiple takes efficiently, and elevates copy through subtle interpretive choices. As one director noted, “Dan doesn’t just read the words—he delivers the intention behind them.” Authentic Storytelling in a Digital Age As automation and AI redefine the creative landscape, Dan remains committed to what can’t be replicated: authentic human storytelling. His experience across broadcast, digital, and commercial platforms ensures that every script he voices sounds both contemporary and genuine. A Voice That Works for You Dan Sheldon is more than a voice actor—he’s a communicator shaped by decades of on-air experience and a dedication to helping others sound their best. When clarity, authenticity, and speed matter, Dan delivers. Dan Sheldon – The Voice Behind the Message Authentic. Reliable. Ready.
