Professional Human Voiceovers: The Smart Choice for Companies Big and Small

It can be tempting for companies to want to take maximum advantage of the rapid and constantly evolving technology that is now so readily available to everyone. It is understandable that businesses have experimented with cutting costs by not using professional human voice actors, but their efforts usually backfire.  Think about it: do you really want to trust your company’s message to a person - or a robot - that doesn’t know how to deliver it?  You need a voice that can be intelligent, competent, serious, professional, inspiring, anthemic, and authoritative when called for - but also by turns warm, friendly, relatable, personable, genuine, enthusiastic, and conversational. Your narrator needs an understanding of how to engage the audience and an ability to make subtle shifts and choices from moment to moment that reflect the content and ensure that listeners want to hear what comes next. In other words, in order for your message to cut through the noise, you need a professional human voice actor.  There simply is no substitute.

How Hard Can It Be?

Voice acting is just talking, right? So when good quality audio equipment became relatively affordable a few years ago, some businesses thought it would make sense to have their content voiced in-house by Bob from Accounting or Alice from HR. But while employees are often well-meaning and even enthusiastic about what they’re saying, these companies soon discovered that it takes more than an understanding of what words mean and an ability to say them out loud. With very rare exceptions, employees don’t have the expertise to communicate their content clearly, effectively and engagingly in the voice over medium.

The Siren Call of A.I.

Some businesses have gone even further and recruited synthetic (artificial intelligence) voices to speak for them. Unfortunately what they save in time and money, they usually pay back, with interest, in quality.  While there is no doubt that synthetic voices have advanced, and they can convincingly mimic the sounds and inflections of real humans, these soulless creations possess absolutely no intention or communicative intent, and many companies are finding out that if they want their message to be listened to, and not just heard - retained, and not just received - they need a real human voice actor to speak it aloud.
