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. My natural voice carries the warmth and authority of an authentic African and Nigerian heritage, and alongside my Nigerian English I also record in Irish English — hear the Irish read in the demos above.
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.

- IVR, apps & product voice

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, see how hiring works, or watch the financial services commercial demo.
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.
