For Clients Looking for Voice Over Script Examples
The scripts include specifications like voice age, gender, job description, target market, style, etc., all of which can be useful to include in a voice over job posting on Voices. So (if you’re looking for a voice actor), the next time you post a job on Voices, you’ll have an idea of how to format your job posting in order to get the best auditions back. This formatting helps voice actors to better understand the vision you have for your project, and bring it to life in their read.
For Voice Actors Looking for Voice Over Practice Scripts
These scripts are great for practice. You can even use them as scripts for your online demos!
However, keep in mind that when auditioning for jobs, it is recommended to only provide a small portion of the read in your audition. For example, 10 to 20 seconds of a minute-long read will suffice for your submission.
Voice Over Script Example 1: From Pitch to Close Online Sales Training
From Pitch to Close Online Sales Training
Voice Age:Middle Age
Gender:Male or Female
Job description:From Pitch to Close is an online sales training platform for sales reps in the business to business (B2B) world. Employers can sign-up sale reps to the platform as a way to introduce new reps to high-stakes sales cycle training, as well as provide refresher training to tenured sales reps.
Art Direction:As this eLearning podcast series is positioned as training for high-stakes B2B sales, the right voice for this job will take on more of a coach role (without sounding like a drill sergeant) to achieve a persuasive read. Use a middle aged voice (generation X) to sound authentic yet articulate.

The voice should be conversational, yet energetic enough to liven up the material. The voice can be either male or female, but should not be too robotic or monotone.

1-Minute Elearning Voice Over Sample Script
In this module, we will discuss what to do if you come across an unattended mobile mover. A mobile mover is an assistive device used to carry heavy objects from point A to point B.
This vehicle must be operated by a qualified driver, or, if in automatic mode, must be supervised at all times. If you see a mobile mover unattended on the floor, immediately check your surroundings to ensure that there are no other people in the direct path.
Then, proceed to walk to the back of the mobile mover and initiate the shut off valve. The shut off valve is located on the passenger side of the mobile mover.
Be sure to notify your supervisor of the unattended mobile mover and log it in the log book.
15-Second Elearning Voice Over Sample Script
Up to now, you’ve learned how to identify workplace hazards and how to report them to your supervisor. In this module, we’ll discuss the hierarchy of control measures that can be used to eliminate hazards from the work process altogether.
These audition files were recorded by real Voices members, as part of Voices’s Mission Audition Podcast. In this podcast, the team at Voices exposes what exactly makes a good (and not so good) voice over audition. Listen in to this episode to hear how experts have critiqued each performance, and discover who ‘won the job.’

Cool
Hello,
I am about to put together a demo reel and want to include some e learning samples. Can I use any of these please?
Hi there, Ruth!
Yes, these samples are intended for use in demo reels and for growing your skills, feel free to use them in a demo.
Happy recording,
– Andrew
Super duper! Thanks for putting these online. Very helpful.
Very informative thanks
Lauren Rose was accurate, but the second, Ms. Whittenberg said “work place” not “work process”. There was also a loud breath in her performance.
This is great! I will definitely use these examples. . I’m new to VO and looking forward to gain much experience as possible. Thanks again
Thank you for the examples!
Happy auditioning!
Thank you so much. This was a great learning of how to rise and fall your voice. I’ll surely give a try and record a demo soon.
Hey guys,
I’m putting together my demo reel and I have some of the content ready. But one of the items I woud like to include is a poem that has very light, soft music in the background. The background music is part of to the overall experience of the poem reading.
My question is, is it OK to use that poem as one of my demos? I didn’t see any guidelines here on whether it’s bad practice to include something that has background music.
Cheers,
-=Cameron
Great question Cameron! We have some content that hopefully can answer that for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzsKYtcbBgc and https://www.voices.com/blog/music_in_voice_over_demos/
