If you're looking for a professional male voice actor who delivers broadcast-quality audio, fast turnaround, and a stress-free production experience, you've found the right voice. I'm Mike Hathcote, a Telly Award-winning voice actor with more than two decades of professional experience helping companies, agencies, production houses, and creative teams bring their projects to life. Although I am proudly represented by DDO Chicago, Voice123 clients are always welcome to contact me directly at [mike@mikehathcote.com](mailto:mike@mikehathcote.com) or 865-406-5615 for prompt, personal service.
Every project deserves more than just a great voice—it deserves a dependable partner who communicates clearly, delivers on time, and genuinely cares about making your production successful. My reputation has been built on reliability, responsiveness, and making the voiceover process simple from start to finish. Most projects are completed within 24 hours, and you'll never have to wonder about the status of your recording because I keep clients informed throughout the entire process.
Over the past 20+ years, I've been trusted by some of the world's most recognizable brands, including BMW, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Hilton Hotels, BP, IBM, Mastercard, GoDaddy, Southwest Airlines, Toyota, Hyundai, Staples, PayPal, Amazon, PBS, The FBI, Ally Bank, MIT, Procter & Gamble, Childhelp, The Cleveland Browns, Sigma Chi, Tony Hawk Foundation, Pulte Homes, Cable One, Road Ranger, and hundreds of other organizations worldwide. Whether the audience is one hundred people or one hundred million, I approach every script with the same level of professionalism and attention to detail.
Clients often describe my voice as warm, authentic, conversational, intelligent, reassuring, trustworthy, relatable, authoritative, confident, and approachable. I naturally fit the "guy next door" style while also delivering polished corporate narration, commanding commercial reads, sincere healthcare messaging, energetic promotional campaigns, strong call-to-action copy, and thoughtful long-form narration. My voice can be friendly and upbeat, calm and comforting, smooth and sophisticated, or deep and authoritative depending on the needs of your project.
My experience spans virtually every major genre of professional voiceover, including national and regional commercials, television and radio spots, internet advertising, corporate narration, explainer videos, whiteboard animation, eLearning, employee training, compliance training, onboarding modules, documentaries, IVR and telephony systems, museum narration, educational content, podcasts, product launches, investor presentations, promotional videos, branding campaigns, video sales letters, mobile applications, software tutorials, crowdfunding videos, automotive advertising, tourism campaigns, nonprofit messaging, and audiobooks.
One of my specialties is eLearning and corporate training narration. I've voiced hundreds of training modules for businesses, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and technology companies. I understand that effective instructional narration requires more than simply reading words—it requires pacing, clarity, engagement, and consistency so listeners remain focused from beginning to end. My goal is always to make complex information sound natural, approachable, and easy to understand.
Commercial work is another area where I thrive. Whether you're looking for relatable authenticity, genuine sincerity, conversational confidence, energetic enthusiasm, inspirational motivation, or a polished broadcast delivery, I work closely with your creative vision to provide reads that sound current, believable, and connected to today's audiences. Every script is approached with flexibility, allowing clients to choose the performance that best fits their brand.
My broadcast-quality recording studio was designed to meet the expectations of today's demanding production environment. Every voiceover is recorded inside an ultra-quiet, professionally treated studio using premium microphones including the Neumann TLM 103 and Sennheiser MKH 416, delivering the pristine, clean audio expected by major agencies, studios, and production companies. Sessions can also be directed remotely through Zoom, Skype, or phone patch, making collaboration easy no matter where you're located.
In addition to voice acting, I'm also an accomplished video editor and voiceover career coach, giving me a unique understanding of the production process from both sides of the microphone. I understand how voiceover integrates into finished productions, allowing me to anticipate the needs of producers, editors, and directors while delivering audio that's easy to work with and ready for production.
My business philosophy is simple: make every client's job easier. Every project includes professional communication, prompt delivery, one round of revisions when needed, and finished audio delivered in your preferred format. I believe outstanding customer service is just as important as outstanding audio quality, and many of my clients continue returning project after project because they know they can depend on me.
Here's what clients have said about working with me:
"Mike has done an awesome job as a voice talent on multiple eLearnings for us. He made very helpful suggestions on small changes that would make my script sound better verbally and worked with us on getting the timing just right. He is always professional and prompt.
