Most voice artists cannot sell. Most salespeople do not sound good. I do both, and each one makes the other better.

About

Who is on the other end of the line.

I am Sarea Sohail, a voice artist and sales specialist in Lahore. For two years I have done two jobs most people keep apart: reading scripts in a booth, and talking to strangers on the phone until they become customers.

Send me a script and I send back a read that sounds like somebody means it. Put me on the phone and I do the talking your team does not have time for: enquiries, follow ups, cold calls and the close.

Why both matter: when I record an advert I know what it is meant to make somebody do, because I have spent two years on the phone doing exactly that. And when I am on a call, I know how a sentence has to sound before the words can land.

Voice

Send a script. Get back a read that sounds like somebody means it.

The booth taught me how a sentence has to sound. The phone taught me what it is meant to make somebody do.

Sales

Put me on the phone. I do the talking your team does not have time for.

Voice and sales

Two rooms. One skill.

In the booth

  • A radio spot at seven in the morning is talking to someone making toast. The read changes with the hour.
  • An advert has to be liked. An audiobook has to be lived with, so the voice stays the same person from the first chapter to the last.
  • Scripts arrive full of "we" and almost empty of "you". I read them to the one person listening.

On the phone

  • Most cold calls die before the product is mentioned. Not the offer, the sound of the opening.
  • "Not interested" usually means "not right now". One short question, then a human pause.
  • Nobody buys from a voice in a hurry. The pause before the close is not dead air. It is where the other person decides.

Five languages, one voice. Hire five voices and you get five brands. One voice across the five keeps the person the same, in Lahore and in Leeds.

How it works

Three steps. No forms.

For a recording

  1. 1

    Send the script

    With the deadline and a reference for tone if you have one. No script yet? Describe the job and I will say what I need.

  2. 2

    I record

    In a treated home studio, in the accent and the energy the listener needs. Slower for the kitchen at seven, faster for the drive home.

  3. 3

    You publish

    Broadcast quality audio, ready to go. Price on request, because a thirty second advert and a six hour audiobook are not the same job.

For calls

  1. 1

    Tell me the customer

    Who they are, what a good outcome looks like, and which language they pick up the phone in.

  2. 2

    I tell you straight

    Whether I am the right fit for the job. If I am not, you hear that too, before anyone spends money.

  3. 3

    I make the calls

    In your customers' hours and their language. Enquiries answered, leads qualified, and the ones who are nearly there, closed.

The treated recording booth: foam panels, a microphone on a boom arm and the script on a screen

The booth

A treated room at the end of the hallway.

Foam on the walls, a microphone on a boom arm, the script on a screen. Every read is recorded here and delivered as broadcast quality audio, ready to publish.

The booth does not care what time it is in London or New York. When your morning starts, I am usually already at the desk.

Samples

Hear it before you book it.

The demo reel is being mastered. Until it is up, the fastest way to hear me is a custom read: send a short script and I send back a read the same day, in the accent you need.

Questions

Before you message.

What do you need from me to start?

The script, the deadline and, if you have one, a reference for the tone. No script yet? Describe the job and I will say what I need.

How fast do you reply?

The same day. I keep UK and US hours from Lahore, so whichever side of the Atlantic you are on, we overlap for most of your working day.

Which accents and languages?

British English and American English, plus Urdu, Pashto and Punjabi. Character voices in American, Pakistani and English.

What does it cost?

Price on request, per project. A thirty second advert and a six hour audiobook are not the same job, so I quote once I have seen the script or heard about the calls.

Can I hear you before I book?

Yes. Send a short script and I send back a custom read the same day. The demo reel is being mastered and will sit in the Samples section above.

Do you do the calls as well as the voice?

Yes, that is the point. Business enquiries, follow ups, cold calling and closing, in any of my five languages, in your customers' hours.

Where do we work together?

Here, on WhatsApp or by email, or through Upwork and Fiverr if you prefer a platform in between.
