What is a professional voice over?
Voice overs are people who have chosen to earn a living using their voice. A voice that can be heard off-screen over a wide variety of productions, who the viewer or listener can identify with; they can evoke a specific reaction or feeling customers or products want to be associated with – often without the target group even realizing.
A-list voices are familiar with all of the different styles, techniques and creative skills needed for any specialty required.
These specialties include: Commercials, infomercials, jingles, promo’s, newscasts, documentaries, TV comments, company videos, books, instruction or training videos, Voice Response Recordings, children’s productions, cartoons and dubbing.
As important as professionalism and integrity is the atmosphere you bring. Indeed, a friendly, less impressive voice will always be chosen over the perfect voice with a difficult personality. In this profession, a lot depends on “live and let live” – a positive attitude and charisma invite others to work with you. Voice overs have to be able to follow directions, endure criticism and show a patient yet committed disposition. In other words, flexibility is a must.
