How to Use a Voiceover for a Killer Presentation

by Victoria DeAnda on August 21, 2015

Most business owners use slideshows or videos to do their presentations. If you do not like the way your voice sounds or if you feel it is not effective or engaging enough to sell your products or services, you might want to look into voiceover services. What can voiceover services do for your business?

Improve Your Brand

Voiceover can help you improve your brand. When hiring voiceover services, you will get a professional who is knowledgeable and skillful in delivering the content you need. Not only will you get a recorded voiceover, but you will also get enhanced projects, no matter the size.

Leave Behinds

Have you ever done a presentation, totally rocked it and then had someone come up and ask for the slides? It is a common request after a presentation; however, how good can your slides be without any narration? You are not there anymore to present the slides. Your message will not be delivered as effectively as it was during the presentation. In many cases, when people go over just the slides, they often end up playing a guessing game where they are trying to figure out the point a certain slide is trying to make. Presentations often look great with colorful images, bolded text and more but without proper narration, they may not make sense to the viewers. Viewers need to have information explained in plain language.

There is a solution for this, and that is voiceover services. Rather than handing out slides that will not mean much to the naked eye after the fact, you can instead send out an on-demand, voice-enriched presentation. In the world we live in today, with all its technologies, it’s pretty easy to include voiceover to your presentation slides and turn them into a live online video. You can combine your speaking notes and slides with voiceover which will keep your eye-catching slides intact and you will not lose your message. There is even a way to track your viewers and measure their interest to follow up with them later on.

Benefits of Professional Voiceovers in your Presentation

  • Add additional dimensions to the delivery of your message which will improve effectiveness and increase the retention of your message.
  • Demonstrate quality to employees and customers who will both consciously and subconsciously respect you for it.
  • Your target audience can engage in other tasks while continuing to listen to your message.

Every great marketer knows one thing: the medium is the message. You can build connections and trust with the people who are watching your presentation by using voiceover services. Presentations can benefit greatly from visual and audio components to powerfully and effectively get your message across to customers and increase sales. Voiceovers are used all over on the web, at arenas and stadiums, on buses and trains and in store announcements. They feature talented voice actors which you can now gain access to for your next multimedia presentation.

Top 5 Things that May Hurt your Voice-Over Business

by Victoria DeAnda on April 3, 2014

Have you just recently put up your own voice-over business? Do you have trouble attracting the right prospects for your voice-over services? Or do you find establishing yourself as a stable online voice artist difficult?

If it seems like your voice over business can’t take off in the right direction, you may be doing a few things wrong. Here is a list of 5 things that may be hurting your chances at audio narration success:

You don’t take care of your voice or your clients. 

While voice talent is just one factor in your success, it is still the most important factor.  Thus, you need to be able to take care of your voice at all times.  Avoid things that may cause dry mouth, mucus formation, and hoarse throat.  When you take care of your voice you also take care of your clients who are, after all, paying for your voice acting services.

You allow distractions to take over. 

You may not notice it at once, but little distractions can affect your audio recording performance. Thus, regardless of the problems you have outside of work, you need to focus on your voice-overs wholeheartedly. As a voice artist, you have to be totally involved in what you are doing. Otherwise, you’ll end up with half-baked performances that fail to establish your spot in the competitive voice-over market. 

You don’t update your website. 

Have you recently changed your e-mail address or contact numbers? Have you decided to expand your voice acting services to include commercial voice-overs?   Is your website well- ranked in popular search engines? When you don’t update your website, you are missing out on a lot of opportunities out there.

You forget to take care of business matters. 

Your voice-over business should be a legitimate business. Thus, you have to get the right permits and pay the right taxes. Clients will want to transact with legally-operating entities especially on the web. This way, your audio recording company will be a legitimate, responsible business that your clients can rely on.

You don’t network with the right people.

If you think your voice-over business is not moving in the way you’d want it to go,  you may       want to expand your contacts and participate in offline events. Surely, the Internet is a great   way to network and earn more contacts. But getting involved in actual events such as meetings, conferences and seminars with fellow voice artists can help establish your presence in your chosen profession. These events can also serve as opportunities for you to get in touch with people or organizations that may need your voice over services now or in the future.

Call to Action:

An excellent voice artist not only knows how to take care of his or her voice. A successful voice-over professional also knows how to find solutions to pressing problems as soon as they crop up.
