30-Second Automotive Commercial Sample Script:

[Close-up on a baby asleep in a crib. A mobile turns slowly above his head, casting shadows shaped like rockets and race cars across his face.]

“The future. You used to dream about it…”

[A classroom of first-graders watch their teacher with varying degrees of focus. The camera closes in on the face of a student who is far more transfixed than any of his peers, panning to reveal the chalkboard, which is riddled with diagrams about physics, the science behind wheels and motion, etc.] 

“…Learn about it…”

[In a cluttered garage, we see a teenager leaning over a homemade electric go-kart, adjusting its wheels with a wrench.]

“…Work toward it…”

[A young man steps through the front door of his apartment, evidently exhausted from a long day of work. He crosses to a shelf, produces a handful of bills from his pocket, and stuffs them into a glass jar where he’s saving money. Behind the shelf, we see a whiteboard filled with automobile designs.]

“…Save for it…”

[Through a rain-soaked window we see a man, now in his 30s, staring out into the street, tapping a pencil against a notepad, lost in thought. He looks down at his notebook and experiences an a-ha moment.]

“…Wait for it…” 

[A layer of fog blanketing a city street after a storm peels back as the new Wavefront model hurtles through it.]

“…You used to wonder what the future would hold. Now, you’re living in it.”

[We see a supercut of the Wavefront shooting through an assortment of scenic backdrops: a mountainside road, a sprawling desert, past a waterfall, down a city street at dawn, etc. Our hero, who we have seen grow over the years, sits at the wheel.]

“The Wavefront is an all-electric automobile that makes driving cleaner, safer, and faster. Equipped with cutting-edge sensors that detect nearby objects, and a lustrous new shape that cuts through the air, the Wavefront truly represents a breakthrough in modern driving.”

[A fast-paced shot of the Wavefront is suddenly reduced to slow motion. The company’s logo fades in over the image, consuming the entire screen.]

“Life’s short. Drive fast.”

15-Second Automotive Commercial Sample Script:

The future. You used to chase it. Now you’re living in it. 

The Wavefront is an all-electric automobile that propels driving into a new era. With sleek, aerodynamic design, and ultrasonic sensors that prevent collisions, there’s no more getting left behind. Life’s short. Drive fast.

    It is fascinating to see these samples for automotive commercials for radio. My son has a baritone voice and he aspires to become a radio announcer. It would be nice to have an automotive expert run these commercial lines along with him, that would be fun.

      Hi Jorge,

      The best way to find Spanish-language voice over work is by filling out your profile in as much detail as possible, which includes listing all of the languagesyou speak and the accent(s) you speak with. That way, when clients are searching for a voice actor with your specific capabilities, they’ll be able to find their way to your profile.

      Hi Emily,

      The beauty of an online marketplace that services clients from around the globe is that accents like yours are seen as an asset! There are job postings that come through every day requesting very specific accents—yours included! So, the short answer is not only is your accent not a problem, it’s exactly what clients are looking for every day.

      There are other factors to your success. Like good audio quality, a quiet recording space, and voice over practice. You’re in the right place! Keep practicing the sample scripts. Begin recording yourself and listening back to hear how you can improve. Here is our getting started guide. It will lead your through the process of setting yourself up on Voices to find those jobs that require an African accent.

      All the best,

      Niki

      Hi KB!

      It’s not uncommon for voice actors to create profiles on more than one online platform. We recently learned from our State of Voice Over report that more than 50% of voice actors stick to just one platform that works for them. While I can’t speak to other platforms, in the report we discovered that clients on our platform are on the hunt for diverse accents and languages for their projects. You can optimize you profile to improve your visibility for clients looking for your accent which is a great way to reach beyond your current market. Here’s some literature on how to do that.

      Hope that helps!
