(high energy)BOLD
(strong energy)
Clive’s most popular vocal style, this is your classic choice for professional contexts and settings. Not high and zany, not low and brooding; simply a neutral (but never robotic) narration you can trust. If voice-over styles were bowls of porridge, Goldilocks would call this one “just right.”
Frequently used for: business tutorials, explainer videos, e-courses, product ads, voicemail greetings, corporate presentations, and more.
Sometimes, less really is more. A great voiceover doesn’t always need high energy to tell a compelling story or communicate a message effectively. Some scripts call for a softer, gentler approach to the microphone; intimate, understated and quietly expressive. Bring the room down to candlelight and evoke a subdued mood in your audience with this restrained vocal style.
Frequently used for: documentaries, guided meditations, short-film narration, character monologues, charities, reflective storytelling, and more.
This high-energy vocal style is bright, fiery and explosive; perfect for delivering urgent messages, bringing dynamic and playful energy to a script, or making a cast of cartoon characters leap off the page.
Frequently used for: urgent announcements, nightlife ads, limited-time promotions, cartoon characters, theatrical sketches, motivational speeches, musical performances, and more.
Buyers request this style when they want a more laid-back, conversational approach to narration; perhaps you need a genuine-sounding testimonial, or something that simply feels low-pressure, friendly and approachable. If you’re ready to trade the suit and tie for a Casual Friday sweatsuit, this is the style you’re looking for.
Frequently used for: crowdfunding campaigns, dialogue, realistic testimonials, conversational video sales letters, audiobooks, tech ads, parodies, and more.
Turn up the heat, raise the intensity (and the vocal compression), and inject some grit into your project. Like a straight shot of whisky with no chaser, this style is strong, deep and dashing. When your product or service calls for rolled-up sleeves and a commanding sense of strength, this is the confident energy you want behind the microphone.
Frequently used for: automotive ads, sports promos, action trailers, fitness campaigns, lifestyle brands, rugged product commercials, dramatic narration, and more.
What Clients Say
-
“Working with Clive was an absolute pleasure! I fell in love with his work. His voice is magical, warm, and brought the whole project to life. Outstanding quality, fast turnaround, and a kind communicator. Highly recommended!”
-
“Clive always tackles our scripts with great professionalism and delivers outstanding reads...even on the most tedious and jargon-heavy ones. In the industry we always say you can only pick two: Affordable, fast, or good quality. Well, Clive is all three!”
-
“Five projects in, and Clive continues to deliver beyond expectations. And what i would love to highlight is that there's a reason I keep coming back, it's that he doesn't just read a script, he understands the feeling behind it and brings it to life. The voiceover was exactly what the project needed, and honestly, it's hard to imagine these videos without his voice now. Thank you, Clive, really appreciate the work and the consistency.”
Frequently asked.
Conveniently answered.
-
No two voiceovers are the same and requires individual focus. Commercials, corporate videos, explainers, e-learning, social media, branded content, character work, other creative projects, you name it. If you have something more specific in mind, feel free to get in touch.
-
Turnaround depends on the length and complexity of the project, but most standard projects up to 1000 words can be completed within 24 hours. Larger word counts may require additional time.
-
Yes. If you have a particular tone, pacing, energy level, or reference in mind, send over your direction before recording. Examples, reference videos, or selecting from my five-style signature system can be especially helpful and efficient.
-
Yes. If I make a mistake or misread something in the approved script, I’ll correct it at no additional cost. Directional or script changes after recording may require an additional fee depending on the scope of the revision.
-
Finished audio is delivered in high-quality MP3 by default, but uncompressed WAV or another standard format is available upon request. All files are professionally recorded, edited, and cleaned before delivery.
-
For larger projects, campaigns, or roles where vocal fit is especially important, a short custom audition may be available. Send over a brief excerpt along with your direction.
-
No. Every performance is recorded and produced individually using the same fully human voice behind Clive’s Voice since 2016. No clones, no synthetic stand-ins; only an artist and his microphone.
-
Not completely raw. Asking for the untouched recording is a bit like asking a restaurant to serve the ingredients separately and include the recipe.
My editing and processing chain is part of the finished product - cleanup, EQ, compression, de-essing, level control, and all the thoughtful decisions that make the recording sound like a Clive Haunt voiceover.
-
My primary recording chain these days is a Neumann TLM 103 large-diaphragm condenser microphone running through a Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface into Logic Pro. The Apollo gives me clean, low-noise conversion.
I record in a treated environment with careful attention to gain staging, mic placement, room reflections, plosives, mouth noise, and noise floor. From there, I handle editing and post-production including cleanup, EQ, compression, de-essing, level control, and final delivery to the required broadcast or platform specifications.
The goal is always the same: a clean, natural recording that sounds polished without processing the life out of the performance.
A note from Clive.
It hit me recently that I've been doing this voice acting thing for a decade now. Come to think of it though, I've really been doing it my whole life.
Long before it was my career, I was the kid who volunteered to read aloud for the class just to hear the words come alive. I played with strange voices and inflections because they made people smile. No grand plan, I just loved breathing life into a character that had never made a sound and giving it one people wouldn't forget.
Then one day I noticed my local dental clinic didn't have a proper voicemail system, and worked up the audacity to offer them one. Figured I had nothing to lose if they said no.
They loved it. So they told someone else about me. And that someone else told someone else. For a long time, word of mouth was my entire business plan. It didn’t all come together at once though. It took longer than I'd like to admit to come back to the thing I'd been doing since I was a kid, and even longer to realize I'd actually been practicing the art of identity all along. The voice is just what you hear after everything else is built.
For the past ten years, I’ve made a living trying on different personas like coats, then taking them off when the session ends. Over time, you tend to learn as much about yourself as you do about the characters you play. Lately I’ve come to think of my work less as doing voices, and more as building the people behind them. Buuut that's something I'll be unpacking a lot more soon 👀
What hasn't changed is this: to this day, I'm still grateful every time someone hands me a script and trusts me to bring it to life.
So, if you've got one ready…
