Mike Steele

“Mike Steele has been a pleasure to work with. I selected him after reviewing fifty submissions by narrators seeking to narrate my book No One Else to Kill. I was not disappointed. His work was timely and very well done. He’s a professional whom I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to narrate their book, short story, or other article.” – Bob Doerr, multi-award winning author

Mike, I cannot thank you enough for your contribution to my book. Your narration was exactly what I was looking for; an authoritative, calm, and confident voice, and that’s exactly what I received. Not to mention that working with you was just such a good experience. Your care and attention to detail and going the extra mile to do things I never asked for is so appreciated. I had a pleasant experience working with you, and I cannot thank you enough. Best Regards,

Mike, huge thanks for your incredible work narrating “Nuclear War Survival Skills”. Your voice really made the content pop and kept it super engaging for listeners. It was clear you put a lot of thought and effort into it. Really appreciate your professionalism and how you nailed the vibe of the book, not to mention the suggestions you made for correcting proofing errors, etc. Looking forward to maybe teaming up again down the road. Thanks!

Working with Mike Steele to narrate my novel has been an incredible
experience.  Not only was he very professional through the entire
process, he also took the time to make sure everything on my part was done
correctly.   His voice quality is excellent, as was the quality of the
audio files he delivered.  There was no background noise, no
breathing, no mistakes that would distract the listener. He was able
to get the nuances and accents of each of the characters right while
providing a delivery that was compelling to listen to.  He also went
the extra mile, alerting me to typos in the original manuscript so
they could be corrected in both the audio book and text.  And even
with all this, he delivered ahead of schedule and below budget.  I
will definitely use his services for my other novels.

Mike Steele is a professional to the nth degree and is dedicated to details. Nothing falls through the crack with him. He found things my professional proofreader (and many other readers) had missed.

If you’ve listened to any of his work, you know what a fantastic voice he has. His tone and inflections bring words to life. He has that rare quality to sound relaxing, authoritative, and involving all at the same time. It’s a voice I could listen to all day long.

He completed the narration of my book on schedule and under budget, and it was a joy to work with him. He kept me informed all through the project.

Mike did whatever was necessary to make sure I ended up with a professional, high-quality audiobook.

I highly recommend his services, and, for sure, I’ll be using him to narrate my next book.

I would highly recommend Michael Steele as a voice over artist. His attention to detail is exceptional. He isn’t afraid to put in the extra work to make his production simply the best. He is also quite open to suggestions and working with an author on getting the most out of their work. His use of sound effects where appropriate really adds a nice touch, and he is so easy to communicate with over every aspect of a production. A true professional.  I can’t say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with him.

Mike—I want to thank you for your excellent work recording Hidden Behind the Robe. From the outset, It was apparent that you viewed the recording as a team project. You made perceptive changes and observations, and were patient with my suggestions. Working with you on the recording could not have been easier. With your help, the end product is just what I wanted. It was a pleasure working with you, and hope we can collaborate on another book.

Best wishes ,

Working with Mike Steele was an absolute pleasure, throughout the whole process Mike made sure to email me and let me know his progress. He would email with suggestions and even gave me some good advice on how to make my book a better experience for the listener. He even finished my project ahead of schedule and still managed to deliver an excellent audio book. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I hope to work with him again very soon. Keep up the good work my friend.

Talent and willing. When you must put a VO over images, we have an infinite number of possibilities. Finding this mix of talent and willing to work in a sea of ​​voices guarantees that your project will have a good ending. In a couple of takes Mike had it all figured out. He captured the concept and executed it. What could have been takes, more takes, and retakes he reduced it to a clean and accurate job full of talent.

We had a challenging video project that needed a voice talent who could walk the line between foreboding and subtle humor. Not an easy request, but Mike stepped up to the challenge. He was also highly responsive with the numerous, nuanced changes that came from the client. We’ll definitely keep him on the short list for future VO needs.

Having worked with Mike I can say his attention to detail is refreshing. It’s clear he has high interest in the final product being as good as it can be… and the level of communication outside the work to gain a clear understanding of the project is refreshing as well. Will without a doubt continue to work with him.
