American voice overs: What you need to know

American English is the first language of more than 225 million people in the United States.

An additional 25 million people who live in the country speak it as their second language.

The reach of American English extends far beyond the US borders. It’s the preferred version of English for many learners across the world. In fact, 70% of worldwide English speakers favor the American variant.

Surprisingly, the USA doesn’t have an official language at the federal level. However, 32 states have declared it the official language locally.

Language History

American English originated from British English. It was, of course, brought to the country by the first European settlers. In the 400 years since the initial landings, it’s developed into a language of its own.

American English and British English are very similar and are often used interchangeably. But there are differences in accent, pronunciation, spelling, and grammar. For example, “I’ll call you on your cell phone later” in American English could be “I’ll ring you on your mobile phone in a bit” in British English.

When recording an American English voice over, it’s critical to consider terminology and usage, as well as accent. If your text has been written in the UK, we would recommend having it proofread by a US linguist before sending it to the studio. If you need any help, please let us know.

Did you know:

Noah Webster created the very first American dictionary in 1828. It laid the foundation of American English as a separate language.

Webster believed that English spelling rules were too complex. This is why he introduced alternative, American spellings, such as color (not colour) and center (not centre).

Close Relations

English is closely related to German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages. This means that adjectives generally come before nouns, as well as other shared features.

American English draws many of its words from other languages. They include Latin, French, and Spanish, as well as many Native American tongues.

Accents and Voice Over Tips

Written American English is standard throughout the USA. Pronunciation and vocabulary, on the other hand, vary depending on the region. There’s much debate around how many different American accents there are, but the average is ten. They include Inland Northern, New York, Northern New England, North-Central, Southern, Midland, Western, and Western Pennsylvania.

Words per minute

Regional pronunciation combines with many other voice and personal characteristics. Consider your target audience and what would sound most appealing to them.

The average rate of speech for speakers of American English is 150 words per minute. However, this can vary depending on the context. For example, are you playing a character speaking in a laid-back drawl? Or are you reading a disclaimer in a 15-second radio spot?

It’s always worth taking into account the information density and target audience for your video. Talking to kids? Slow it down. Trying to convey complex data to a professional audience? Give them time to take it in.

Did you know:

Eunoia is the shortest word in the English language that contains all five vowels. It means “beautiful thinking” and stands for a normal mental state.

FAQ

Why hire an American voice actor specifically?

American English is the default accent for global English-language content, especially in technology, e-commerce, and corporate communications. Audiences across North America, Asia, and MENA associate the General American accent with credibility and clarity. If your content targets a US audience or needs a neutral English voice that reads as mainstream, American talent is the natural starting point.

What's the difference between General American and regional US accents?

General American is the accent most commonly used in broadcast and corporate voice over. It carries no strong regional features and is universally understood across the country. Regional accents like Southern, New York, Midwestern, Californian, or Boston add local character and work for specific audiences, character voices, or advertising that leans into a geographic identity. Voice Crafters carries both.

When should I use an American voice rather than a British one?

Use American talent when your audience is primarily in the US, Canada, or markets where American pop culture dominates. Use British talent when targeting UK audiences or when the project calls for a formal tone or one of heritage. For global content with no strong regional requirement, use an International English talent, or listen to both American and British voice demos, and let the script guide you.

How do I find the right American voice actor for my project?

Filter by style (conversational, authoritative, warm, energetic), voice age, and gender. Listen to demos for the project type you’re producing. A voice that works on a documentary demo may not be right for a tech product explainer. Once you’ve shortlisted candidates, post your project and request custom auditions using a passage from your actual script.

Can American voice actors record in different accents?

Most American voice actors work within their native accent range. Some are trained to perform other US regional accents or non-American English accents accurately. If you need a specific regional sound like a Texas drawl or a Brooklyn accent, state it in your brief and filter accordingly. Asking talent to perform an accent far outside their natural range rarely produces a convincing result.

How much do American voice actors charge?

Rates on Voice Crafters depend on project type, usage, and script length. A 60-second online commercial from a mid-tier American voice talent typically runs about $400. National broadcast commercials, long-form narration, and video game projects carry higher rates because of usage scope. Every talent on Voice Crafters quotes based on your specific brief.

Do American voice actors work across time zones with international clients?

Yes. Most Voice Crafters American talent record remotely from their professional home studios and work regularly with clients in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Turnaround times of 24 to 48 hours are standard regardless of where the client is based. For directed sessions, you arrange a mutually suitable time at the booking stage.

What project types are American voice actors most commonly hired for?

Commercials, corporate narration, e-learning and training modules, explainer videos, IVR and phone systems, audiobooks, documentary narration, and video game characters. American English is also the most requested target language for translated e-learning content moving from other languages into English.
