Derek Botten | Voice Artist

Have you Heard?

Since 1979, Derek Botten has made a living with his voice.  With a 5 star rating on Voices.com and Top Rated status on Upwork, he excels at radio and television voice work, audio books, explainer videos and e-learning projects, corporate narration and characters for cartoons or games. 

They are only words on a page until he brings them to life!

Derek’s skill set is remarkably versatile. Exuding trust and competence one moment, he can pivot effortlessly into off-the-wall character reads, and touch just about every base in between. From conversational guy next door to earnest executive, Derek can bring your script to life. I’ve already added Derek to my personal casting roster, and you should too.

What some happy customers have to say ...

I hired Derek to produce my first audio book, a short fiction work measuring about 2.5 hours of recorded time. The book had multiple characters, men and women. He did the entire recording himself and did a nice job representing the different characters based on feedback I gave him ahead of time. He was prompt, professional, and responsiveness to a few minor changes I requested. He provided the files in the exact format that I needed to publish through ACX. Great job.

We were looking for a deep, smooth voice for a luxury car dealership radio ad and Derek was even better than we had hoped. Easy to work with, and the client even signed off on the spots with zero revisions. Totally recommended.
