Mike Carnes

Earnest. Empathetic. Encouraging

All-American Storyteller with Midwest Charm

Growing up in Nebraska, I was taught the following:

  1. Be kind, humble and respectful.
  2. You’re not owed anything in life. If you want something, work hard, and earn it.

Recording from my home studio in Omaha, I bring that Midwestern attitude to each and every job, along with a deep baritone voice with such range that it has been described as anything from “Gritty and inspiring” to “soothing and empathetic”.

My credits include projects for major technology brands like SonicWall, as well as a number of audiobook and corporate narrations. My background in Information Technology makes me the perfect voice for technical and elearning projects.

In my spare time, I love to elicit groans with a Dad Joke or two (“Hey, did you know that I wasn’t always a fan of facial hair?  Nope, but it eventually grew on me”), throw a hunk of Nebraska beef on the grill and enjoy a nice craft beer and cigar.

If you’re looking for a voiceover talent who is friendly, authentic and will work hard to make sure you get the perfect read for your project, I would love the opportunity to earn your trust!

"Mike has one of the best sounds I've heard. So clear and rich. And he is very, very good at putting emotion into the piece. Super professional, super talented; would work with him in the blink of an eye."

I highly recommend Mike Carnes - I've had a chance to work with Mike on some meditation projects and Mike has been fantastic. He has a deep charismatic voice and he not only read the script but found the perfect background music for the meditation recordings. He is professional and very helpful. He's one of the best I've worked with.
I just wanted to let you know that your work in Grave Business was probably the best experience I have had with an audiobook to date! The effects you used were absolutely marvelous! My husband and I have listened to it several times and enjoy it the same amount each time! It was like listening to one of those old radio shows!

Audiobook review of “A Grave Business”
We contacted Mike to help us with a number of Youtube tutorials. Mike responded very fast even though I placed my order on a Saturday. The turn-around time was great and Mike matched the tone of voice and mood perfectly with what we envisioned. I can definitely recommend him for voice-over work.
