Quick Answer: How to Hire an E-Learning Voice Artist
To hire an e-learning voice artist: finalise your course script, choose a clear, unhurried voice, hear auditions of your first screens, agree the usage (internal, customer-facing or public course), and book through escrow. Price depends on the word count, and you should rebook the same artist for updates so the course sounds consistent.

Instructional Narration
What Is E-Learning Voice Over?
E-learning voice over is narration that guides learners through training content with clarity, pacing and long-form consistency. Good e-learning narrators teach rather than announce: they stay clear and steady from the first minute to the last, and they sound the same in module twelve as in module one.
Whether introducing new software to global staff or explaining complex safety protocols, a professional training narrator keeps learners engaged and ensures retention across long modules.

Narrator Selection
How to Choose a Training Voice
Clarity and diction
Learners need every word, including complex industry terms, technical acronyms, and product specifications.
A steady, unhurried pace
Training is usually read slower than adverts, about 130 words per minute is a common target to support retention.
Warmth without performance
A voice that sounds like a good colleague explaining something helpful, not a high-pressure salesperson.
Long-form consistency
Book one narrator for the whole course series and rebook the exact same artist for future module updates.
Pronunciation glossary
Send product names, acronyms, and job titles with phonetic pronunciations or audio reference files with your brief.
Authoring Guidelines
Script Preparation and Word Count
Use about 130 to 150 words per minute, so a 10,000-word course is roughly 70 to 80 minutes of audio. Write for the ear: short sentences, one idea per slide, and numbers and acronyms written the way they should be spoken. Number your slides in the script. Keep these numbers identical to the word count guide on our calculator.
How to Mark Up an E-Learning Script
[steady] In this module you will learn how to report a safety incident. [slower] First, make sure everyone is safe. [pause] Then, tell your supervisor. [friendly] You can find the form on the next screen.
Tone notes in brackets help the narrator understand the delivery intention at every milestone without slowing the project down.

Audio Standards
Delivery: Per-Slide Files and Formats
Audio is delivered to strict authoring standards: one file per slide or screen, named by slide number (for example Slide_012.wav), plus a combined file per module on request, in 24-bit 48kHz WAV or 320kbps MP3. Narrators leave a short clean pause at the start and end of each file so authoring tools (such as Articulate Storyline, Rise, or Adobe Captivate) can trim them cleanly. Narrator mistakes and mispronunciations are fixed free of charge; script rewrites requested after recording are billed at a discounted pickup rate.
Individual slide files • WAV & MP3 • Trim-ready heads & tails
