Bio
I’m Sarah DeLong, a U.S. VO artist specializing in natural, warm, authentic reads with a versatile general American accent. Professionally trained, I show up prepared, take direction, and bring heart to everything I do.
How do people describe my voice?

-
“Warm authority”
-
“Sustainability storyteller”
-
“Educated but inviting”
-
“Soothing yet grounded”
-
“Curious naturalist”
Put another way, I'm The Guide, The Sage, and The Nurturer — with a touch of The Adventurer and The Maker.
I slide effortlessly into lifestyle, wellness, and cause-based commercials where I'm warm, sincere, connected, and trustworthy. For corporate and brand narration I bring authenticity and everyday relatability. My education, e-learning, and explainers are articulate and approachable. Give me children's and family content, and I'm expressive, approachable, gentle, and animated. I shine in documentaries, natural history, and travel narration with a calm, curious, reverent storytelling energy. And wellness, meditation, mental health, medical scripts are where I'm a trustworthy, grounded, soothing presence.
I bridge emotions to create audio files that are:
- Gentle & Grounded – for meditations, medical patient education, and friendly support
- Playful & Curious – for children’s content, magical realism, and imaginative world-building
- Reassuring & Clear – for scientific eLearning, medical device explainers, and museum guides
- Lyrical & Intimate – for guided imagery and dark fantasy
I always bring my backstory to the mic: 30 years of speaking & acting & music performance layered with tracks as a teacher, literacy coach, reference & children’s librarian, embodied mindfulness guide, arts lover, and science nerd.
I record from a professional home studio, designed and built with experts, where I record with my Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser, PreSonus AudioBox USB96 Interface, and CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt Dock. I charge standard industry rates defined by GVAA, though I gladly provide services at discounted rates for select nonprofits and grassroots organizations.
Let’s craft something beautiful together!
