Diane Hayes | Professional Voice Actor for Commercial & E-Learning

Diane Hayes - Professional Voice Actor for Commercial & E-Learning
About Me
Hi! I’m a multi-award-nominated narrator based in San Francisco with a deep love for storytelling and voiceover. My narration work spans narration, e-learning, commercials, political ads and audiobooks. My clients cross the entertainment, business, and personal development sectors. My vocal style is warm, expressive, and versatile: I’m your best friend, a real mom and that funny sarcastic girlfriend with whom you can share an inside joke. My voice is authoritative and professional for corporate presentations and political ads and I’m the trusted expert you turn to for e-learning. I’m also a Warrior, a Queen or that Sassy Southern Grandma to bring your Audiobook, Video Game, Animation and Cartoon projects to life. In Audiobooks, I bring grounded charm to romances, sass and sparkle to comedic dialogue, strength and clarity to nonfiction and cozy mysteries, and tenderness to children's titles. I have a gift for bringing out the funny and unearthing the emotional truth in both fiction and memoir. Armed with a toolkit full of accents, characters, and regional flair—including a wide range of “Southern,” “Midwest,” and a signature “Jersey sass”—I build vivid, believable worlds and voices that feel alive and immediate. Under my pseudonym Bobbie Hayes, I narrate spicy romance with the same dedication to nuance and authenticity. I maintain a broadcast-quality home studio equipped with Source Connect for directed sessions. Outside the booth, I run a successful sales training business for media companies, speaking regularly on topics like leadership, empowerment, and personal development. This professional background lends a unique authority and polish to corporate narration, e-learning and self-help subjects. I’m also a proud rescue dog mom who is my adorable sidekick.
