A voice that
reads the room
not just the script.
I'm Tim Howell, a professional voice artist recording audiobooks, corporate narration, and commercial spots from a treated, ACX-ready home studio — usually turned around within 48 hours.
Forty years of listening
taught me how to speak.
My background is in manufacturing operations and people leadership — running teams, chairing meetings, coaching development conversations. That's where the voice work actually started: learning how tone lands, how pacing keeps a room with you, and how a script only works once you stop reading it and start saying it.
Today that same instinct goes into the booth. Whether it's an eight-hour audiobook or a fifteen-second commercial, the job is the same: understand what the listener needs to feel, and give it to them cleanly, on time, in one clean take.
Multiple registers and timbres, one voice.
Press play on any track from the selected styles below.
Where my voice fits your project.
Audiobooks
Full-length fiction and non-fiction narration, character work, and ACX/Audible-spec delivery from raw files to mastered chapters.
Corporate & E-learning
Training modules, explainer videos, IVR and on-hold messaging, and internal communications that sound like a person, not a script.
Commercial & Ads
Radio, TV, and social ad reads with direction turned around fast — energetic, conversational, or straight-down-the-line, as the brief needs.
Four steps from script to delivery.
Brief
Send the script, character notes, or brand guidelines. I'll confirm tone, pacing, and deadline before anything's recorded.
Sample take
For longer projects, you'll get a short sample first — so we agree on the voice before the full read begins.
Full recording
Recorded and edited in a treated space, checked for noise floor, plosives, and pacing against your brief.
Delivery & revisions
Files delivered to spec — WAV, MP3, or ACX chapter format — with one round of pickups included.
A quiet room and a clean signal.
Every session runs through the same acoustically-treated chain, so what you hear in the sample is exactly what you get in the delivered files — no surprises between quote and quote-off.
