Hello!
Before we get into the nitty gritty, please be aware that my rates coincide with the GVAA rate guides. Legally I cannot accept anything less. If you are looking for someone who will take a $10 job for 20 mins or more of work, you should ask a high school student, not a professional.
I have 15 years of theatre/acting training and specialize in voice-over work. I am a bright, passionate, and versatile actress, with a very versatile voice. I am based in Los Angeles, California, and have my own studio, so I can deliver files all over the world, as well as work with local LA studios. I am capable of delivering recorded material to clients in mp3, m4a, WAV, or AIFF formats, via email, dropbox, or other mediums
I specialize in Corporate/Industrial, Documentary Narration, Educational and E-learning voice projects for adults and children alike; Travel, Medical, Academia, Scientific, Technical, Financial and Real Estate projects. I also voice children’s games, apps and audiobooks as well as animation and cartoon voices.
I have very clear diction and pronunciation with no specific dialect and am regularly hired to voice pronunciation guides for individuals learning English. However, if you are looking for a recording with an accent or dialect, please ask me about: British (RP and Cockney), Irish, Israeli, Russian, Southern American, New Yorker
I will proofread/edit your copy at no extra cost!
PLEASE NOTE: I do not charge by the hour, UNLESS it is an audiobook. I charge based on word count, and the full scope of the project, so please message me with your script and all information BEFORE hiring.
For example: A national McDonald’s commercial will have a different rate than a VO used for training purposes.
I can sync my voice to your video for an additional small fee.
My secondary specialties are spokesperson and testimonial videos, as well as screen capture videos with voice over. Please ask me for samples.
I offer a free re-record if I mispronounce any part of the copy. I do reserve the right to bill for additional substantial client-generated script changes after the initial track(s) have been recorded.
I have a variety of samples that I can send to you for your review as well, please message me!
Familiarize yourself with the GVAA rate guide before reaching out to me. I WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES record anything, even a sample, without the full scope of the project being outlined FIRST. If you are trying to be sneaky with where my voice is being posted, it will not be tolerated.
"Melissa is a great voice talent to work with. Young, hip, and bright, she adds a lot of life to the copy. A skilled actor, Melissa has good instincts when it comes to script interpretation, but is also very malleable in a directors hands. Her professional demeanor, positive energy, collaborative spirit, and ability to connect with the material made our session a real pleasure."

Hi, I'm a TOP RATED ★ Los Angeles-based voice-over actor and award-winning screenwriter/director. Specializing in articulate and unique narration for movie trailers, explainer videos, radio & TV ads, video game characters, voicemail greetings, YouTube channels and more.
✨ ""If you need a big voice then Jermey's is your man." ✨
✨ ""Brilliant talent and pleasure to work with... went above and beyond." ✨
✨"...A talented, professional voice-over actor. I've enjoyed working with him."✨
VOICE-OVER:
Recorded at a state-of-the-art at-home recording studio. My unique voice with its deep bass sound is guaranteed to make any project stand out!
All jobs include at least one (1) round of changes at no additional cost. Oftentimes, numerous minor change sessions are not a problem and are not billed either.

SCREENWRITING:
My experience ranges from writing/directing short and feature films, serving as an intern at Ghosthouse Pictures (Sam Raimi's production company) providing script coverage, notes and feedback, working closely with the head of development. In addition, I've also studied screenwriting at the university level and collaborated with writers on their screenplays. I specialize in story structure, dialogue, and project feasibility, working with writers to bring their stories to life in a way that connects deeply with audiences.
I'm great at collaborating with writers that have little to no experience putting together their projects. I pride myself on looking at projects from more than one angle, having worked many positions on films, including Director, Screenwriter, Producer, and Assistant Director. This means I understand more than just narratives, characters, plots, and dialogue; I understand target audiences and critical reactions. All of these things combined give any project the best chance to be successful.
Check me out on IMDB under "Jermey Ashley Pair" to see a list of past and current projects I've worked on.
When it comes to cost, I prefer a flat fee rather than an hourly rate. This way you know exactly how much your project will cost and we can focus on making it great without worrying about the clock.
