The Role of a Voice Over in the Web-Based World of Today

By: Terry Daniel

In the fast paced world of today’s internet communications it can be easy to forget about the former success of “old-fashioned” advertising. Now a days, marketing is driven by e-mail, websites, and blogs; such as, podcast and screencasting, and multimedia on the web. This means your business needs a marketing strategy that includes voice talent, quality photos, and video production.

Before T.V. and the internet, the world tuned into the radio to get their daily news as well as the advertisements that accompanied them. Voice over artists were in high demand back then since many businesses turned to radio to promote and advertise their products and services. By the time T.V. became the norm, everyone was already used to ‘hearing’ sales pitches and messages; the T.V. took this to a whole new level with images and even more sound.

Flash forward 50 years and people are turning to a new medium for information and entertainment; the internet has become one of the leading technologies for advertisers and marketers, and encourages many people to simply read pitches and sales letters as oppose to listening to them. However, this is rapidly evolving with the introduction of podcasting, online videos, and other multimedia across the web.

Now that blogging and podcasting are ubiquitous, your business needs a memorable message that sticks with readers and listeners so they can remember your brand long-term. The same impact that radio advertising had on the masses in the 1050’s is returning full swing with online advertising, video commercials, and podcasting. Voice over actors and actresses now play an important role in presenting your company’s marketing message, slogan, and can even promote your brand name. Hiring the right voice over actor (with the assistance of a voice talent agent) is a positive way to create a high-impact and attract new prospects today.

Voice talent can be applied to short commercial segments, presenting products on a web site, podcasting, or creating a radio ad. If you’re considering about shooting a commercial for television, you’ll need a voice over actor to perform the script so that it is appealing and creates the result you’re looking for.

For businesses that want a competitive edge on the web - voice overs are becoming more and more vital to their success. Musical narrations, songs and jingles can still produce strong influence on visitors and potential customers, and are essential when you’re advertising on the radio as part of your marketing plan. Introducing voice overs into your advertising helps to strengthen your brand, create an identity, and even build stronger relationships with potential customers.

Print advertising may have less impact as more people turn to audio and video on the web. Why bother investing your marketing resources in an area where only a few people arepaying attention? Commercials and audio segments that are developed with a voice artist can create the effect you need to make your advertising message soar above from your competitors.
