A Black Male Voice With Genuine Range
Searching for a black man voice over or a Black male voice actor? You're in the right place. I'm Olakunle Abimbola — a professional Black male voice-over artist with extensive experience recording for brands across Africa, Europe and North America. My natural voice carries the warmth and authority of an authentic African and Nigerian heritage, and because I've lived and worked across continents, I deliver convincingly in neutral, British and Irish English too.
When a brief calls for a Black male voice, it's usually after something specific: warmth, gravitas, authenticity and a tone that audiences trust. That's exactly what I bring — a real human performance, directed to your brief, not a generic read.
Why Brands Choose a Black Male Voice
- Authenticity — represent your audience with a genuine voice, not an imitation
- Warmth & authority — a tone that lands for storytelling, narration and brand films
- Versatility — conversational, authoritative, energetic or intimate, on request
- Accent flexibility — authentic African/Nigerian, plus neutral, British and Irish English
What I Voice
- Commercials & ads — TV, radio, YouTube, social
- Audiobooks & narration — fiction, non-fiction, documentary
- Corporate & explainer videos
- E-learning & training
- IVR, apps & product voice
- Brand films, PSAs & cause campaigns
Real Voice or AI Voice — Your Choice
Want the genuine, directed human performance? Request a quote and I'll record your script personally. On a tight budget or need it instantly? My voice is also licensed as an AI on ElevenLabs — use my AI voice for fast, low-cost generation, then upgrade to a live recording whenever the project calls for the real thing.
How to Get Started
Tell me about your project — script, use case, length and timeline — via the contact form or at hello@olavoices.com, and I'll send a fast, fair quote. Explore my commercial, corporate, audiobook and e-learning services.
My Studio & How I Deliver
- Recorded in a professional, acoustically treated home studio — RØDE NT2-A microphone, Focusrite audio interface, Logic Pro X
- Free custom audition — send 20–30 seconds of your script and hear exactly how I sound before you commit
- One revision round included — reasonable performance, pace and pronunciation changes within the agreed script; recording or delivery errors on my side are fixed free
- Fast turnaround — 24–48 hours for short-form; scheduled per finished hour for audiobooks and long-form
- Ready-to-use files — clean audio delivered to your spec as WAV or MP3
Usage & Licensing, Explained Simply
You buy only the usage your project needs — nothing more. I retain ownership of my voice, and every quote states the media, term and territory, so there are no surprises later. Need the read for TV, radio, YouTube, internal comms or a paid social campaign? Tell me the intended use and I'll scope the licence to match.
Because licence scope and script length drive the price, I quote each project individually rather than publish a misleading flat rate — usually the same day. Most short-form work (ads, explainers, IVR) is delivered within 24–48 hours.
