Documentary narrator and brand voice actor trusted by National Geographic, Discovery, PBS and History — warm baritone, cinematic pacing, fast turnaround from a broadcast studio.
I’m Dan Nachtrab — a voice actor and documentary and in-show narrator with decades of broadcast experience and a signature warm baritone that balances cinematic gravitas with human approachability. Clients book me for natural-history, science, history and premium brand storytelling that needs credibility without sounding “announcer-y.”
I deliver clean, emotionally accurate reads with tight pacing, precise pronunciation of technical terms, and studio-grade audio. Live-directed sessions available via Source-Connect, Zoom, or phone patch. Turnaround: same day for most short scripts; rush available.
Selected credits: National Geographic, Discovery, PBS, History, TNT, and top documentary producers. Rates quoted to usage — happy to provide a custom audition or directed session.
*Same-day for most reads under 1,000 words.
*Live-directed sessions Mon–Fri.
*Rush/overnight available — message with your schedule.
"Send Message" below with your script — I’ll return a custom audition same day.
