The Mailchimp session
Hip-hop cadence to clean commercial tag
Mailchimp
Commercial/Rapping
Erikka shows off her musical background in this fun spot based on Snoop and Pharrell’s 2004 hit “Drop It Like It’s Hot” with brand adapted lyrics.
I’ve spent over a decade performing commercial voice over for brands across industries, and I know how to read a room (even when that room is a :30 TV spot). When Mailchimp adapted Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” with custom lyrics for a brand campaign, they needed a voice that could switch between a hip-hop cadence and a clean voice over tag at the close. They brought me into their in-house Atlanta studio for the session, and my music background made the transition between the rap-style delivery and the commercial read feel seamless.
That Mailchimp project also touched on something I care about personally: authentic cultural representation in advertising. Being a local Atlanta talent who could genuinely deliver the cultural feel of the piece mattered to the creative team. It’s one of the reasons I won a One Voice Award for my Carter’s campaign, and why brands like Febreze, Vicks, Delta, Georgia Lottery, DC Lottery, and Northside Hospital Atlanta keep booking me.

The business brain behind the read
What sets my commercial work apart is that I pair a female commercial voice over with real business and communication expertise:
- BA in Human Communication and an MBA
- Nearly two decades in tech as a PMP-certified project manager
- Customer and user experience expert and scrum product owner
So when I read your script, I’m thinking about what the audience needs to feel at each beat. The performance sounds right because it’s grounded in the full strategy behind the message.
Voice over for TV & radio commercials
TV commercial voice over and radio spots each demand something specific from the talent. TV spots need a voice that moves the story forward without competing with the visuals. Radio needs the voice to do all the heavy lifting on its own.
I’ve recorded across both, plus digital, for national, regional, and cable broadcasts, in lengths from :06 bumpers to full :60 spots.

Autotrader Radio “Barista” – Erikka J w/ Kenan Thompson
For AutoTrader’s “Barista” radio spot, the brief called for a voice in her twenties, opposite Kenan Thompson. I recorded the audition on my travel rig, while in Philadelphia for a conference.
I’m in my forties, and for years I would have skipped that audition on the age alone. I didn’t this time. Playing younger isn’t a pitch adjustment – it’s rhythm, hesitation, the way someone with less mileage builds a sentence. I found mine by listening to my own daughter, an actual twenty-one-year-old barista. The read wasn’t about sounding young. It was about acting young, grounded in someone real.
That take was magic...
Erikka was the utmost professional. She has great range and takes direction incredibly well. It was a pleasure to work with her.
Live-directed or asynchronous, whichever your project needs
Some projects, like Mailchimp, call for an in-person session with real-time direction. Others need quick turnaround on clean files with no back-and-forth. I’m set up for both.
Option 1
Live directed sessions
Asynchronous delivery
When your timeline or budget calls for it: broadcast-ready files, on schedule, no session required.
I’m represented by Atlas Talent in Los Angeles and New York, with regional agents as well, so booking is friction-free wherever your agency is based.
Voice over for digital & social media advertising
Digital campaigns run on a different frequency than traditional broadcast formats. YouTube pre-roll, social video ads, podcast sponsorships, and streaming audio spots all call for a tone that feels conversational and authentic. Polished, over-produced reads get scrolled past in under a second. The voice needs to sound like a real person talking to another real person, even when the script is selling something. And when you’ve got six seconds before someone taps “skip,” the voice has to land the right tone instantly.

Commercial voice over styles & delivery
- Warm and conversational
- Upbeat and energetic
- Professional and authoritative
When the script calls for a female commercial voice over that sounds credible and assured, like a Delta or Northside Hospital spot, I can bring gravitas without losing warmth.
I’m also known for being directable. If your creative director says “give me 10% less spunk” or “a little more smile in the read,” I know exactly what that means and can deliver it in the next take.
Whether the project calls for warmth and authenticity, upbeat enthusiasm, or confident authority, Erikka delivers each read with precision and personality.
