Commercial voice over scripts

All commercial scripts

Commercial copy is short, timed, and has a job to do. These original spots come in the standard 15-, 30-, and 60-second lengths so you can practise hitting a time while still sounding like a person, not an announcer.

Cartoon and animation voice acting scripts

All animation scripts

Animation asks for bigger choices than almost any other voice work. You supply the character's whole body with your voice. These original cartoon scripts reward commitment, specific physicality, and fast emotional turns.

Video game voice acting scripts

All video game scripts

Game dialogue is recorded in pieces: quest lines, reactions, and short combat barks that players hear over and over. These scripts train the stamina, variety, and clarity that game sessions demand.

Villain monologues for voice actors

All villain scripts

The best villains believe they're right. These original monologues give you three very different antagonists, so you can practise menace through control, charm, and restraint instead of growling every line.

Narration and documentary voice over scripts

All narration scripts

Narration is storytelling with no face on screen. These scripts practise the steady pacing, clear phrasing, and quiet authority that documentary, corporate, and podcast work rely on.

Audiobook narration practice scripts

All audiobook scripts

Audiobook narration is a long-distance event. These original excerpts practise the core skills: a sustainable pace, clear changes between narration and dialogue, and distinct but light character voices.

Movie trailer voice over scripts

All trailer scripts

Trailer copy is built from short phrases separated by music and picture. These scripts let you practise the weight, space, and genre tone of a trailer read, from blockbuster to rom-com.

Anime-style voice acting scripts

All anime scripts

Anime-style dubbing asks for heightened, wholehearted emotion inside a tight timing window. These original scenes (no existing series) let you practise the big declarations, trembling confessions, and battle cries the genre is known for.

E-learning and explainer voice over scripts

All e-learning scripts

E-learning and explainer narration is one of the most common paid voice-over jobs. These scripts practise the clear, friendly, and patient delivery that helps a learner follow step-by-step instructions.

Two-person scripts for voice acting

All two-person scripts

Dialogue scenes train listening, reacting, and timing, skills you can't get from monologues. Record these with a partner, or play both roles to practise switching characters cleanly.

Emotional monologues for voice acting practice

All emotional scripts

Emotional range is what casting directors listen for. Each of these monologues has turns, moments where the feeling shifts, so you practise movement between emotions instead of holding one note.

Funny voice acting scripts

All comedy scripts

Comedy is precision. These original funny scripts train timing, escalation, and the straight-faced commitment that makes absurd material land.

Short voice acting lines for practice

All short lines scripts

Short lines are the fastest way to build range. Read each one with the emotion given, then try it three new ways. One line, many choices is how casting sessions work too.

One-minute monologues

All monologues scripts

A strong one-minute monologue has a clear want, an obstacle, and at least one turn. These original pieces are written to fit audition slots, with comedic and dramatic options for teens and adults.

Voicemail greeting scripts

All voicemail scripts

A good voicemail greeting is short, warm, and tells callers exactly what to do next. These ready-to-use scripts cover business lines, personal phones, out-of-office periods, and holidays.

On-hold message scripts

All on-hold scripts

On-hold messages should reassure callers and give useful information without repeating so often that they become annoying. These scripts are written in short modules you can rotate.

Podcast intro and outro scripts

All podcast intros scripts

Your intro tells listeners what the show is and why they should stay, usually in under 30 seconds. These original templates cover common podcast formats, with intros and outros you can adapt.

YouTube intro scripts

All youtube intros scripts

Most viewers decide whether to stay within the first few seconds. These intro scripts open with a hook, state the payoff, and get out of the way.

Radio commercial and station scripts

All radio scripts

Radio has no picture, so the script has to paint one. These original radio spots and station liners show how to set a scene, repeat the key detail, and close with a clear call to action.

Explainer video scripts

All explainer scripts

An explainer video makes one idea easy to understand in about 60 to 90 seconds. These scripts follow the structure that works: problem, solution, how it works, and a single call to action.

Guided meditation scripts

All meditation scripts

Guided meditation is a voice-over skill of its own: slow, steady, and warm, with long, deliberate pauses. These original scripts include pause marks so you can practise the pacing.

News reading and broadcast scripts

All news scripts

Broadcast news copy rewards clarity and credibility. These fictional stories and segments practise anchor delivery, emphasis on key facts, and smooth transitions between items.

Sports commentary scripts

All sports scripts

Play-by-play commentary builds and releases energy in real time. These fictional calls practise rhythm, rising excitement, and the big moment, without needing a live match.

IVR and phone menu scripts

All phone menus scripts

Phone menu prompts need to be understood the first time. These scripts keep options short, put the action before the number, and give callers a quick way to reach a person.

Bring your own script

Paste any script into the free online teleprompter, set your pace in words per minute, and record a take. Use the words-to-minutes calculator to check timing first.
