Sound Like the Story. Not the Script.

Great narration doesn’t announce itself. It earns trust, carries weight and lets the story breathe.

That’s what I coach—and that’s what I produce.

I work with narrators, voice actors and broadcasters who want to sound credible, grounded and inescapably listenable across documentary, political, historical and long-form storytelling. Whether you’re refining your read or building a demo that actually opens doors, the goal is the same: narration that feels inevitable.

Narration Coaching
  • Coaching is focused, practical and story-first. We work on:
  • Point of view and authority
  • Emotional restraint and control
  • Subtext, pacing and intention
  • Finding your natural gravitas without affectation

If you’ve ever been told your read is “good, but not quite there,” this is where there gets defined—and reached.

Demo Production

A narration demo should sound like work that already exists in the world. Not an audition. Not a performance exercise.

I direct and produce custom narration demos designed to reflect current industry expectations and real-world storytelling styles. Every demo is shaped around you—your voice, your lane and the kind of projects you want to book.

About Dan Nachtrab

I’m an Emmy award-winning narrator and voice actor with credits spanning documentary, political and branded storytelling for major networks and platforms. I’ve voiced projects seen and heard around the world—and I coach from inside the industry, not outside of it.

I don’t teach tricks. I teach judgment, taste and trust.

 

If you’re ready to sound like someone audiences believe—and producers hire—let’s talk.
