About Mike

Mike Steele About ImageThis is Mike.

His voice has been described as warm, friendly, engaging, manly, soothing, and honest. Those qualities reflect the person behind the voice. Whether it’s a commercial presentation, a corporate narrative read, an eLearning online presentation, a menu driven-phone system, or even an audiobook, he will give you a quality VO experience.

In his almost 50 years in the work force, as both a supplier and a customer, he has learned that, when doing business, what people want more than anything else is to do business with people who take their business as seriously as they do. Someone who cares as much about their finished product as they do.

Mike is that person.  He will do whatever it takes to make sure that you or, more importantly, your client walks away totally satisfied with your experience.

His strong communication skills and the ability to work from his technically certified broadcast-quality home studio make it possible for him to provide fast turnarounds and last-minute adjustments or changes.

When he’s not working, he enjoys playing golf, traveling, and getting ready for his coming trip to Mt Everest base camp.

Work with you

People are saying…

Mike Steele is an exceptional audiobook narrator and a true professional in every sense of the word. From the start, working with Mike was an absolute pleasure.

The quality of his recordings is truly top-notch—crisp, clear, and expertly produced. Every word was delivered with precision and emotion, bringing our non-fiction essays to life in a way that exceeded expectations.

What truly sets Mike apart, though, is his fantastic communication. He was always prompt, responsive, and attentive to any feedback, ensuring the final product was exactly what we envisioned.

If you’re looking for a narrator who combines talent, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Mike Steele is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Keri-Rae Barnum, New Shelves Books, Owner and CEO

I wholeheartedly endorse and strongly recommend Mike Steele.

Mike has a captivating voice, with the perfect balance of clarity, enthusiasm, and rhythm. He is more than a narrator; he is a storyteller who takes the listener on a journey. Mike is an excellent communicator with an eye for detail, which resulted in several improvements to our project. He made sure that he not only met but exceeded our expectations.

Our book will be that more impactful for the outstanding work that Mike did. We plan to use him on our second book, and I plan to use him for one of my books.
With deep appreciation for his efforts,

Fred Stuvek, Jr.

“Mike Steele has been a pleasure to work with. I selected him after reviewing fifty submissions by narrators seeking to narrate my book No One Else to Kill. I was not disappointed. His work was timely and very well done. He’s a professional whom I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to narrate their book, short story, or other article.” – Bob Doerr, multi-award winning author

Mike, I cannot thank you enough for your contribution to my book. Your narration was exactly what I was looking for; an authoritative, calm, and confident voice, and that’s exactly what I received. Not to mention that working with you was just such a good experience. Your care and attention to detail and going the extra mile to do things I never asked for is so appreciated. I had a pleasant experience working with you, and I cannot thank you enough. Best Regards,

Mike, huge thanks for your incredible work narrating “Nuclear War Survival Skills”. Your voice really made the content pop and kept it super engaging for listeners. It was clear you put a lot of thought and effort into it. Really appreciate your professionalism and how you nailed the vibe of the book, not to mention the suggestions you made for correcting proofing errors, etc. Looking forward to maybe teaming up again down the road. Thanks!

Kyle Donovan - Author of: Nuclear War Survival Skills

Working with Mike Steele to narrate my novel has been an incredible
experience.  Not only was he very professional through the entire
process, he also took the time to make sure everything on my part was done
correctly.   His voice quality is excellent, as was the quality of the
audio files he delivered.  There was no background noise, no
breathing, no mistakes that would distract the listener. He was able
to get the nuances and accents of each of the characters right while
providing a delivery that was compelling to listen to.  He also went
the extra mile, alerting me to typos in the original manuscript so
they could be corrected in both the audio book and text.  And even
with all this, he delivered ahead of schedule and below budget.  I
will definitely use his services for my other novels.

Mike Steele is a professional to the nth degree and is dedicated to details. Nothing falls through the crack with him. He found things my professional proofreader (and many other readers) had missed.

If you’ve listened to any of his work, you know what a fantastic voice he has. His tone and inflections bring words to life. He has that rare quality to sound relaxing, authoritative, and involving all at the same time. It’s a voice I could listen to all day long.

He completed the narration of my book on schedule and under budget, and it was a joy to work with him. He kept me informed all through the project.

Mike did whatever was necessary to make sure I ended up with a professional, high-quality audiobook.

I highly recommend his services, and, for sure, I’ll be using him to narrate my next book.

I would highly recommend Michael Steele as a voice over artist. His attention to detail is exceptional. He isn’t afraid to put in the extra work to make his production simply the best. He is also quite open to suggestions and working with an author on getting the most out of their work. His use of sound effects where appropriate really adds a nice touch, and he is so easy to communicate with over every aspect of a production. A true professional.  I can’t say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with him.

Michael Vlasek, author of The Key

Mike—I want to thank you for your excellent work recording Hidden Behind the Robe. From the outset, It was apparent that you viewed the recording as a team project. You made perceptive changes and observations, and were patient with my suggestions. Working with you on the recording could not have been easier. With your help, the end product is just what I wanted. It was a pleasure working with you, and hope we can collaborate on another book.

Best wishes ,
                Matt Graham, author of Hidden Behind the Robe

From the outset, it was clear Mike Steele cared about the finished product and how it represented the author’s vision.  I feel like we found a partner in our self publishing journey that cares as much about the book as we do.  Mike’s narration captures the souls and spirits of our characters and brought them off the page into the world of audiobooks.  Above all, Mike’s attention to detail and unrelenting commitment to quality made the book better.  This is our first time publishing a book – and when we do another, one of our first calls will be to Mike Steele.

Working with Mike Steele was an absolute pleasure, throughout the whole process Mike made sure to email me and let me know his progress. He would email with suggestions and even gave me some good advice on how to make my book a better experience for the listener. He even finished my project ahead of schedule and still managed to deliver an excellent audio book. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I hope to work with him again very soon. Keep up the good work my friend.

Talent and willing. When you must put a VO over images, we have an infinite number of possibilities. Finding this mix of talent and willing to work in a sea of ​​voices guarantees that your project will have a good ending. In a couple of takes Mike had it all figured out. He captured the concept and executed it. What could have been takes, more takes, and retakes he reduced it to a clean and accurate job full of talent.

We had a challenging video project that needed a voice talent who could walk the line between foreboding and subtle humor. Not an easy request, but Mike stepped up to the challenge. He was also highly responsive with the numerous, nuanced changes that came from the client. We’ll definitely keep him on the short list for future VO needs.

Kevin Byrd

Having worked with Mike I can say his attention to detail is refreshing. It’s clear he has high interest in the final product being as good as it can be… and the level of communication outside the work to gain a clear understanding of the project is refreshing as well. Will without a doubt continue to work with him.
