Award-Winning Voice Talent Delivering Professional Narration, Commercials, Promos & Live Announcing

For over 40 years, award winning American voice actor and live announcer Peter K. O’Connell has brought an unmistakable blend of versatility, personality and professionalism to his work in the voiceover industry. As Your Friendly, Neighborhood Voiceover Talent, Peter has become a trusted voice actor across national and regional campaigns, non-broadcast narration, and live events—earning the confidence of producers, casting directors, and global brands alike.

His voice has been a key ingredient in some of America's most memorable advertising. From his friendly everyman stylings in the iconic “Uh-Oh, Better Get Maaco” campaign for Maaco Auto Body Shops, to the high-energy character voice work in Crest’s “Pro-Active Defense” spot, Peter’s range is as broad as it is effective. He’s brought a confident cool to Duracell, warmth and relatability to L.L.Bean’s “Be An Outsider” campaign, and quirky charm to Canada’s “Pony and Jockey” spots for Kraft Dinner’s countrywide TV campaign. National brands like Novartis, iHeart Radio, and Ford Dealers have also turned to Peter’s signature sound for everything from heartfelt patient stories to upbeat product launches.

Beyond his innumerable commercial voiceovers, Peter’s many narration credits include explainer videos, eLearning modules, and corporate storytelling for globally recognized brands like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Deloitte Canada, General Electric, Tic Tac, IBM and Disney. Whether voicing a humorous “Scarecrow” for AWS or respectfully guiding audiences through U.S. Army history in Fort Huachuca: An Enduring National Treasure, Peter delivers content with clarity, warmth, and a storyteller’s rhythm.

On air, he’s been the promo and imaging voice (and on-air host) on projects for PBS Network, iHeartMedia, Sirius XM, and local stations including WETC-AM, WINK-TV, WVUD-FM and WLVL-AM.

An experienced live announcer, emcee, and host, Peter has brought his energy and professionalism to stages across the country for organizations such as BNSME, Sisters Hospital Foundation, InfoTech Niagara, and FaffCon.

In addition to performing, Peter is a respected voiceover coach and workshop instructor. His commitment to education led to the publication of The Voice Over Entrance Exam (2009), a guidebook for aspiring voice actors that continues to influence the next generation of talent.

Whether behind the mic or in front of an audience, Peter K. O’Connell offers a voice that connects, entertains, and delivers. Producers trust him. Audiences remember him. And brands love working with him.

Born in Buffalo, NY with a brief stop in Dayton, OH, Peter’s Source-Connect equipped voiceover recording studio is based in Raleigh, NC, where he lives with his wife, children and voiceover super dog, Bucky.
