VOICE or TALENT
Do you have a nice voice or do you have talent? Because of laryngitis sometimes I do not even have a voice and have never had any talent that I know.
Don Capone is famous for his portrayals of voice over talent. There are several different styles of voice overs, hard hitting and fast paced voice (car commercials), the guy next door voice over is friendly and approachable and the soft voice seems to be sincere and smooth. All of these voice overs are delivered by the ISDN to the voice over production studio. One of the most difficult voice over talent narrations to do is the documentary. This voice type must reflect mood and fact plus have authority and set the pace. The voice must never sound as if reading a script, just flow as if normally speaking and sound believable.
The voice over industry is like many other things in that many changes have been brought about because of the internet. Production houses and advertising agencies depend on the internet to find new voice over talent. Voice over artist can now record narrations in the own studios and send them to their respective locations by direct email, FTP, or live ISDN voice.
