About me and voice over

I'm Richard Merchant, a professional voice-over artist based in Ithaca, New York, specializing in medical narration, e-learning modules, and commercial advertising. With a background as a radiographer, I've spent years immersed in precise, clear communication—first explaining complex medical concepts to patients and teams, now bringing that same accuracy and warmth to voice projects. A lifelong "vocal chameleon," I've adapted accents and delivery styles across regions, allowing me to match the tone your script needs—whether authoritative and trustworthy for pharma training, engaging and approachable for corporate e-learning, or confident and compelling for ads. I don't rely on "natural talent" alone; I focus on technique, preparation, and top-tier tools. My acoustically treated home studio featuring professional-grade equipment for broadcast-quality audio every time. Ready for fast turnaround, and easy revisions mean your project stays on track. I love this work because it lets me help brands, educators, and healthcare teams deliver messages that inform, persuade, and connect. Let's bring clarity and energy to your next project.
