FAQs

Do I need a voice over?

Well, of course I'm going to say yes! But there are many ways a professional voice over artist can benefit your project. Here's a few: a voice provides context and meaning; it connects better with the audience; it makes a brand familiar and memorable; it engages the viewer and keeps them watching for longer; it taps into people's emotions and makes them think; it builds trust.

Isn't voice over just talking into a microphone? 

In a word, no. Voice over artists have spent years practicing, honing their craft and expanding their range. Using a professional voiceover means not only a broadcast quality recording, but excellent interpretation of the script - ensuring the message is delivered in a style and tone that resonates with the audience.
