In short: To make a Black Friday ad voiceover, write a script that fits your ad length (about 35 words for 15 seconds, 75 words for 30 seconds), paste it into Speechma Pro’s Text to Speech, choose an energetic voice and download the MP3 or WAV. In 2026, Black Friday is November 27 and Cyber Monday is November 30. Commercial use is included.
When are Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2026?
Black Friday is always the day after US Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November. In 2026 the key dates are:
- Thanksgiving: Thursday, November 26, 2026
- Black Friday: Friday, November 27, 2026
- Small Business Saturday: Saturday, November 28, 2026
- Cyber Monday: Monday, November 30, 2026
Shoppers in the UK, Canada and Australia use the same Friday and Monday, so one set of ads can cover all four markets. Many stores start “early Black Friday” deals in the first weeks of November, so plan to have your voiceovers ready by early November. With an AI voice you can make every version in one sitting and change a price or date in seconds if the offer changes.
How many words fit in a 15 or 30 second ad?
A clear ad voice reads about 2.5 words per second (150 words per minute). Leave a second or two for music and your logo at the end.
| Ad length | Words to aim for | Where it runs |
|---|---|---|
| 6 seconds | 12 to 15 words | YouTube bumper, story ad |
| 15 seconds | 30 to 38 words | Reels, TikTok, YouTube pre-roll, Facebook |
| 30 seconds | 65 to 75 words | Radio, streaming audio, TV, longer social ads |
| 60 seconds | 140 to 150 words | Radio, podcast ads, in-store announcements |
Prices read slower than words. “$49.99” is spoken as “forty-nine ninety-nine”, so count it as three words. Check your exact length with the voiceover length calculator.

Tips that make holiday ads work
- Lead with the offer. Say the discount in the first five seconds. On Reels and TikTok, the first two seconds decide if people keep watching.
- Say the deadline. “Ends Monday at midnight” gives people a reason to act today.
- Write numbers as you want them heard. Write “forty percent” and “twenty-five dollars” so the voice reads them the way you want.
- One offer per ad. Three deals in fifteen seconds blur together. Make a separate version for each product.
- Make versions for each day. Swap “starts now” for “last day” and generate again. It takes seconds, so you can refresh ads on Friday, Saturday and Monday.
- Match the accent to the market. A British voice for UK shoppers and an Australian voice for Australian shoppers sounds local and trusted.
- Add captions. Many people watch social ads with the sound off, so put the offer on screen too.
Need a jingle or a version in Spanish?
