My name is Markus, and I’m a professional native German voice actor based in Los Angeles with more than 15 years of professional voice-over experience and extensive acting training. I work in native German and English, including English with little to no accent and authentic German-accented English at varying strengths. My warm, resonant baritone voice ranges from grounded and conversational to dark, dramatic, and character-driven.
My work spans video games and character performance, commercials, documentaries and narration, e-learning, audiobooks, corporate content, and branded media. My acting background helps me deliver authentic, emotionally grounded performances and respond quickly to direction.
My long professional background in translation and localization also gives me a strong ear for natural German phrasing and allows me to identify awkward wording, mistranslations, and other script issues quickly when needed.
I’m highly directable, reliable, SAG-AFTRA eligible, and record from a professional home studio in Los Angeles. Live-directed sessions are available via Source-Connect, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, and I can also travel to studios throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
Every voice actor sets their own rate. All of our talents are pros, but the cost can vary depending on their experience and skill level.
Generally speaking, voice over rates depend on:
- Will the voice over be for broadcast and paid ads, or organic, non-promotional use?
- The length of the script (word count).
- Do you need the voice over fully edited and production-ready, or just the raw audio?
- Do you want to direct the voice artist in real-time, or can they record independently?
Many of our voice actors follow our pricing schedule, but you’ll find that rates are negotiable, so if you let them know what you can afford, there’s a good chance they’ll accommodate you!
