Why Ironroot?

Welcome to the Ironroot family and thank you for trusting us with your voiceover work!  We are excited to be a part of your project, and together, we’ll take on this new journey ahead.  Let’s explore why Ironroot Voiceover may finally be the answer you’ve been looking for!

Equipment

I have a simple, yet very effective setup:

  • Booth with sound deadening

  • Industry Standard Sennheiser MKH 416 Shotgun Microphone

  • Studio One DAW with the ability to export compressed MP3s and high-quality WAV files

Why choose Ironroot?  

The client-artist relation is built on trust and the desire to get the job done.  We want you to be proud of your finished project.  If you’re not happy, we’re not happy either.  We will work with you to ensure that we have a proper delivery.  

Who is the talent behind Ironroot?

The saying “behind every great man is a great woman” is precisely why I’m able to do what I do.  Hi! I’m Rob, and I’m the voice behind Ironroot.  Because of my partner’s support, I’m able to balance a variety of jobs, talents, and skills for income and still maintain a healthy household.  Additionally, my wife is a professional proofreader and transcriptionist, thus allowing us to add even more value to the talent pool that is available to you.  

When I was a child back in the 80’s, I was quite captivated with the voice behind the cartoons and commercials.  Who was doing all these crazy things with their voices and what did the people look like while they were performing?  I used to do my own recordings with old-school cassette tapes as well as mini tapes from a recorder I saved up for and bought at a local Radio Shack.  However, as I grew, I took the “safer” path and pursued my other interest in computing since the .COM bubble was the new hot thing.  Sadly, I left behind my dream of becoming a voice actor long before it really began.  As time progressed, I kept feeling that pull to come back to my original passion.  Now, I’ve come full circle and arrived back at this very point in my life. I now spend time practicing and perfecting the craft of voice acting daily as well as participating in continuous training from books, coaches, classes, and webinars.

Meanwhile, my current credentials stem from a life-long education and investment in technology, software development, and data business intelligence.  For years in my professional career, I have served as lead developer and development manager for various organizations.  What this means for you is that I have a very acute pulse on the corporate world.  I know what you’re going through with deadlines, expectations, and stress — and I can help you deliver that video or advertising project so you can concentrate on more important things aside from “will this voiceover get done?”.  

On the personal side, we’re an active family located in Southern Montana that loves to RV, bike, hike, explore, and just chill together.  There’s nothing like watching a good sci-fi show, a walk on the beach, or just hanging out and bonding with family and friends.  

On top of all this, we have been running a couple YouTube channels together for a number of years where we do all aspects of video creation - from scripting, filming, editing, and, yes - even the voiceover work, of course!  Our video views are up into the millions now and we occasionally run into people that recognize my voice as it’s unique - and maybe just the recipe you’re looking for to make your project or advertisement stand out!  And, hey, if my basic voice is not for you, I have the ability to change it based on your request and the context of the content you need to deliver.  Just look at my demos for a brief example of the range of work I do.  

I do character voices as well, but this will be done upon special request until we get a demo published with our range and abilities.

Prices

Our prices tend to follow the GVAA Rate Guide. Please use the Contact form to fill out a quick request and description of the work you’re looking for and I can send you back an estimate. If you want to book using the Fiverr service for now, you can find us on our Fiverr page here. I try to keep both my rates and the Fiverr service somewhat similar, but do please kindly note that I provide a higher level of service to my direct bookings, which sometimes results in prices that match that elevated service and treatment.

Conflict Resolution

Hey, it just happens sometimes.  And that’s ok - perhaps the final delivery of the audio is not what you expected and we just cannot find a recording style to match your vision.  In the off-chance we cannot correct this, and ultimately in the end we are not able to find a resolution, we will, in most cases, issue a discount or refund to you with an agreement that the voiceover will not be used.  And if that happens, that’s ok - perhaps another voiceover opportunity will arise with a better fit one day and we can try again, together.   

Thank You

We’d like to extend another warm thank you again for considering and/or choosing us for your next project.  Whether the relationship is for a one-off or a multi-year endeavor, we’ll treat you like family - fair, honest, and with respect so you can take your mind off voiceover and just effectively deliver your projects.
