I’ve been providing voice overs for commercials and narrations for quite some time. Many of my friends say, “Wow. Must be nice to get paid for just reading into a mic”. I chuckle and wish it were just that easy to motivate a listener to respond to an ad or verbally crystallize how to implement a new CRM software program to a salesperson. Here is a quote that, for me, captures the essence of doing voice overs.
“Voice acting is not about stringing words together. It’s about connecting with your listener and honoring the writer’s story.”
