Annnnnd some of the animated characters I’ve been proud to play:
Studio
A great voiceover is a great performance captured by great gear. I use the extremely clean and precise Neumann TLM-103 to catch the detail of character work, and the fabled Sennheiser 416 shotgun when rich, powerful narration or imaging are on the menu. Down the chain it’s Onyx pre-amps in a Mackie 802VLZ4 mixer fed through a Focusrite interface into a Macbook Pro. Noise floor average is a super silent -75db. Client-directed sessions are conducted via SourceConnect, Zoom, or FaceTime.
About Clay St.Thomas
THE FELLA
Hi. I’m an Actor/Voice Artist based in Vancouver, BC. I’ve spent most of my life in front of a microphone. For 25 years, I was honoured to have a special “unicorn gig” co-hosting the morning show on Canada’s most-listened-to country station, 93-7 JR Country. I’ve also had morning stints on Vancouver’s Z95, Detroit’s 89X, and 96 K-Lite in Edmonton.
When I’m not in my home studio making client’s projects shine, I’m either working on set, playing guitar, or being loud with my wife and kids.
That Saskatchewan farmboy raisin' means I take the job seriously, but not life. Let me help you with the voiceover on that thing that needs to sound great.

Performance Retakes for undirected sessions:
In an undirected session I record the files in my studio under my own direction and send them to you. If you need me to re-do lines from an undirected session, I’m happy to do one round of performance retakes at no cost. Please try to communicate any and all direction and/or change of direction at this time. After the first round of retakes, subsequent rounds are charged as Revisions, above.
If retakes are required for pronunciation preferences that were not specified either by a pronunciation guide or otherwise in writing, those retakes will be considered Revisions and are billable.
When sending a change request, please highlight a) the lines in the original script or b) list the full sentence to be re-recorded, the sentence before, and the sentence after for context. If applicable, please include the time index of the video so I can better match tone and pace.
