About
Strategic sound. Stronger brands.
Jon Booth Branding is a voiceover and audio production company helping brands communicate with clarity, emotion and impact.
Jon Booth Branding was founded by Chidochemoyo J. Nhamo a voice artist and audio producer with over ten years of experience across radio, television, corporate and digital media.
We help businesses launch products, services and campaigns through broadcast-quality creative production. That means the voice, the script direction, the music, the sound design and the master delivered as one finished piece rather than a pile of parts for someone else to assemble.
What sets the work apart is the Voice Bank. Rather than force a single voice onto every brief, we cast from a roster of professional Zimbabwean artists working in English, Shona and Ndebele so the read matches the audience it is actually speaking to.
Local impact, global reach. The studio is in Harare and the work runs across Africa and beyond.

Frequently asked
How fast can you turn a script around?
Most single spots are recorded, edited and delivered within 24 hours of the brief being confirmed. Fully produced commercials run 48 hours, and complete campaign productions 72. Priority delivery is included on the Grand Launch package and available on request elsewhere.
Which languages do you work in?
English, Shona and Ndebele. The Voice Bank is cast so that local-language work is read by native speakers — a wrong stress on a Shona or Ndebele name is immediately obvious to your audience and invisible to a foreign read.
Can I choose which voice reads my script?
Yes. Browse the Voice Bank and name your preference on the quote form. If you are not sure, send the script and the audience and we will come back with a shortlist of two or three voices so you are choosing with your ears.
What do I actually get delivered?
Professional studio recording as WAV, cleaned and loudness-normalised, plus MP3 on request. Any other format — 44.1k, mono, µ-law for telephony, per-module stems — just say so in the brief and it costs nothing extra.
How does broadcast usage work?
Commercial usage rights are included from the Basic package up. Radio and TV broadcast rights are included on the Premium Grand Launch tier and quoted per market and term on the others. Tell us where the spot runs and for how long and you get one all-in figure.
Do you handle the music and sound design too?
Yes. From the Standard package up, licensed background music, sound design and the mix are all included, so what comes back is a finished master ready to schedule rather than a voice track someone else has to assemble.
Do you use AI voice cloning?
Not for client work, and no recording made here is used to train a voice model. If a project genuinely needs a synthetic voice — a system reading live database values aloud, for instance — that gets discussed openly and licensed properly rather than quietly substituted for a human read.
How do payments work?
Rates are quoted in USD. New clients pay 50% up front and the balance on delivery; returning clients are invoiced on completion. Local bank transfer, EcoCash and international transfer are all fine.
