Tom Dheere

I’m Tom Dheere. I’ve been a professional voice actor for over 25 years, based in the New York area. I’m also the VO Strategist, helping both clients and actors navigate the evolving digital voice landscape. My goal is to provide high-quality audio with zero headaches.

In a word: Friction. Or rather, the lack of it.

There are thousands of great voices out there, but a great voice is only 10% of the job. Here is why clients, from video game studios to global corporations, keep coming back to me:

• I’m a "Business-First" Creative. Because I’m also the VO Strategist (a voiceover business & marketing coach), I understand your project’s "why." I’m not just reading words on a page; I’m helping you achieve a marketing goal, complete a training module, or immerse a player in a world. I speak the language of ROI, deadlines, and technical specs as fluently as I speak your script.

• The "Guy Next Door" with a Resume. My voice has been described as the relatable, trusted friend. Think Ryan Reynolds meets the guy who actually knows how to fix your lawnmower. It’s a sound that’s helped me land roles in Red Dead Redemption, Inspector Gadget, and narrate for brands like Danielle Steel. You get everyman relatability backed by 25+ years of high-level professional experience.

• Broadcast-Ready, Every Time. My studio is a professional-grade environment (Sennheiser 416, Source-Connect) designed for clean, punchy, "drop-it-into-the-timeline" audio. No noise floor issues, no tech delays, no drama.

• Adaptability & Digital Solutions. The industry is changing, and I’ve changed with it. Whether you need a traditional voice-over, a digital voice clone for a complex AI project, or a long-term e-learning partnership, I have the infrastructure to handle it ethically and efficiently.

The bottom line: I’m a professional who happens to have a great voice. I’m here to make you look like a hero to your boss (or client) by delivering exactly what you need, the first time, without the ego.

I am a non-union talent, which allows me to work directly with a wide variety of global clients, production houses, and indie studios with maximum flexibility on contracts and turnarounds.

I quote based on non-union industry standards (like the GVAA rate guide), taking into account the length of the script and where the audio will be used (usage). I’m all about fair, transparent pricing that reflects the value and longevity of the work. DM me your script along with usage terms and I'll send you a quote!

Here is my Change Request Policy:

“Retakes” (my mistakes) are included at no cost.

“Revisions” (when changes are made to the script after I record it) are charged as follows:

● Minor Revisions (one or two words/sentences): are included at no cost

● Major Revisions (more than one or two words/sentences): minimum $75

● Complete re-reads of Short-Form Projects (less than 10 minutes): minimum $150

“Performance” Retakes: if you need me to re-do lines for performance reasons, you will get one round of Performance Retakes at no cost. After that, they are charged as Major Revisions.

When sending a Change Request; highlight the lines in the original script or list the full sentence to be re-recorded, the sentence before, and the sentence after so I know what the heck I’m talking about.

If applicable, include the time index of the video so I can better match tone and pace. Please submit all Change Requests within 30 days of receiving the original recording.

After 30 days, Change Requests will be charged as per the original rate structure.

Usually, I can turn around a project within 24 hours. If it’s a short commercial or a quick pickup, I can often get it back to you even sooner. If you’re on a tight deadline, just let me know. I’m built for speed!

I actually specialize in it. Whether it’s medical terminology, complex software training, or corporate compliance, I have the stamina and the experience to make "dense" material sound engaging and easy to digest. To that end…

● Let me know your deadline

● Ensure the script has been approved by your Legal Department

● Please proof the script. Perfect spelling & grammar will give you a better performance. FYI Oxford commas are a big help!

● Send a pronunciation guide if needed

● If you plan on putting music under the narration, send me a clip in advance. Getting a feel for tone and pace via the music is a BIG help!

Absolutely! If you want to steer the ship in real-time, we can connect via Source-Connect (3 or 4), Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. It’s a great way to nail the tone in one take.

Only if you want to be! Most of my clients prefer "asynchronous" recording. You send the script and direction, and I deliver the finished files from my pro home studio. It’s fast, efficient, and fits perfectly into a busy production schedule.

I do. From rapid-response "attack" ads to "man-on-the-street" style community messaging, I provide the versatility needed for the fast-paced political cycle. https://www.tomdheere.com/voice/political

Yes, but ethically. I offer digital voice solutions through trusted partners like Murf, ElevenLabs, and Respeecher. This is a great option for high-volume or rapidly changing content. I always follow the "Three C’s": Consent, Control, and Compensation. DM me for more information!

Use a live human voice actor like me for high-stakes corporate messaging, emotional brand videos, and complex industrial compliance. Use one of my ethical, pre-cleared digital voice clones for massive, multi-module eLearning updates where rapid iteration and strict budget constraints are the primary drivers.

Don't just buy a nameless synthetic voice off a crowded marketplace grid. Secure an authorized, ethically compliant digital clone backed by a professional voice actor like me who ensures structural integrity, brand consistency, and legal clarity.
