As we are moving to a highly digitised society, voice over artists are becoming more and more necessary. Not only do they add a layer of entertainment to a project, but they help deliver information in a way that is accessible to those who are visually impaired or have difficulties processing written words – something that is historically neglected. Hiring a professional voice over artist or voice actor for your next project will help bring it to life and make your content accessible to a wider audience. Here are the top 5 ways to use a voice over artist in 2022: TikToks TikTok is the fastest growing social media platform right now. Creators can make videos about anything, from tutorials to comedy sketches and everything in-between. A voice-over artist can give TikTok videos a touch of professionalism and clarity (or humour and animation) that might be all they need to go viral. Podcasts Although some podcasts are filmed, most are recordings of one or more person speaking into a microphone. Voice-over actors can help podcasters produce content that is in line with their theme and do so in a way that makes listeners excited to come back episode after episode. Automated Phone Menu Prompts Automating system processes save businesses lots of time and money. Many companies have switched over from a live person answering their phone to a recorded voice that directs a call depending on the buttons that the caller presses. Without hiring a professional voice actor that clearly explains the automated phone menu prompts, a company runs the risk of confusing and frustrating their customers. Professional voice actors also add a touch of personality to an automated phone menu, something that customers miss out on when a “robotic” voice greets them on the other line.
