What Is Voice Over

Anyone who has heard a radio advertisement should have a pretty good idea what voice over is. Voice over is a recording of someone talking about a specific product or service, or someone performing a scene with the intent of advertising a specific company or brand. Voice over recording can be done with little more than a tape recorder, but the sound will never be as good as what could be achieved in a professional studio.

Voice Over Fundamentals

Businesses are the most common customers for voice over talent. Businesses need to sell products and services, and the best way to do that, obviously, is to advertise. Voice overs enable businesses to talk about important product features without having to give lengthy demonstrations. By touching on key points, even a small business can create an effective voice over recording.

The key element of the voice over recording is the voice over artist. The choice of voice over artist should be made based on who would sound most likely to buy or use a given product or service. A male voice, for example, is more apt to be associated with car parts or sporting events, while a woman may be better served advertising a luxury car or the latest skin care product. Once the choice of voice over artist is made, recording the actual voice over is usually very easy. Short promos or ads can typically be completed in a single day, including post production.
