From Chicago Radio & Television (2003) to the 2026 Acoustic Benchmark Lab
Originally founded in 2003 by Chicago radio personality and television voiceover artist Tom Froelich (Thomas Froelich Productions), USA Voiceover (usavoiceover.com) spent over two decades producing commercial radio spots, television narrations, station sweepers, and corporate on-hold messages for American businesses.
In September 2025, usavoiceover.com published its landmark industry manifesto featured on HackerNews—"American Voice Over: Restoring the Human Voice"—championing natural human emotional prosody, breath dynamics, and acoustic warmth against robotic synthetic text-to-speech.
Our Four Core Studio Practices Today
- Commercial, Radio & TV Broadcast Voiceover: National and regional commercials, automotive spots, radio sweepers, and high-converting YouTube/TikTok ad hooks.
- Audiobook Narration & ACX Mastering: Turnkey Per-Finished-Hour (PFH) narration mastered strictly to Audible ACX (-23dB to -18dB RMS, -3dB peak, -60dB noise floor) and Findaway Voices standards.
- On-Hold Messages, IVR & E-Learning: Continuing Thomas Froelich Productions' signature Chicago telephony service for RingCentral, Cisco, and 3CX PBX systems alongside Articulate Storyline LMS narration.
- Video Game Character Voice & Multi-Language Dubbing: 96kHz/24-bit dual-mic character sessions and native German (DACH) / Spanish YouTube localization.
Cross-Disciplinary Production Ecosystem
For authors and brands managing end-to-end media production, our acoustic standards integrate directly with manuscript preparation and digital campaign architecture—from editorial manuscript vetting & book preparation at ScribeVetted prior to ACX audiobook recording, to video landing page & AdWords conversion engineering at MPG Marketing Agency.
