Brian D.
UGC Ad Video Editor & Creator | Actor & Voiceover
A good script can still fall flat if the delivery feels rehearsed or the edit takes too long to get to the point. I pay attention to both. I'm Brian Dives, an actor, voice artist and UGC creator who also edits the videos I deliver. I help brands turn scripts, product details and creator footage into short-form ads that sound conversational, show something useful and give the viewer a clear next step. My starting point is performance: where to let a line breathe, when the energy needs to shift, and what we can cut without losing the thought. That carries through the recording and the edit. A caption should help the idea land. A product shot should answer a question. A new hook should give us a different opening to test. Here's where I can help: • UGC and spokesperson videos, from natural phone-style delivery to a polished studio setup • Short-form ad editing: pacing, captions, product B-roll, screen recordings and clean audio • Creative concepts, scripts and hook variations built around your audience, offer and approved product claims • Professional human voiceover for commercials, explainers, narration and video sales letters My portfolio includes talking-head ads, product demonstrations and lifestyle content. I bring more than 10 years of voice and on-camera experience, backed by a Blackmagic 6K cinema camera, a 416 shotgun microphone and an Apollo Twin Duo in an acoustically treated studio. For an editing project, we'll agree on the concept, footage, running time and number of versions first. I'll shape the first cut around that brief, work through the included feedback rounds, and deliver the agreed formats. If you need me on camera or behind the mic as well, we can build that into the scope. Have one ad to finish or a recurring batch to build? Send me the product, who you're trying to reach, and the footage or script you already have. We'll work out what the video needs to do before adding anything it doesn't.
