While creating a video production for your businesses, two areas are prime – Visuals and Audio. Visuals include charts, photos, statistics and other on-screen talents. However, the audio is often more challenging to get right. Background music for videos is the key area to consider because it is the voice that describes or explain the content. Several times, online marketing videos depend only on music and visuals. The spoken word is neglected which means the loss of an opportunity to effectively share a good content with online viewers.

In any case, it is crucial to choose a right voice over service. If the video needs to be language specific, it is all the more significant, for example, choosing Arabic voice over services may be a bit difficult.

Here are a few things to consider before you choose a voice over for a video.

Emotions that define your brand

Make a short list of emotions that best describe your brand. For example, if you are an e-commerce company, best service and shopping experience may be the emotions that can be associated with your brand. If you are selling home décor items, then creativity, uniqueness, best quality may be more appropriate. Look for a voice over service that can provide you artists matching with these emotions.

Referrals

It may be difficult to know where to start and how to choose a voice over service, especially if you are a newbie. There is a wide range of voice-over artists which may baffle you. Therefore, it makes more sense to look for a voice over agency. They usually have a selection of voice over artists to work with. They also help to screen voice over artists, helping to match a voice-over artist matches the particular requirements.

Kind of voice, audience wants to hear

Exciting? Soft? Young? Soothing? Male or female? What kind of voice over artist would your audience want to listen to? Different artists have different speaking styles as well as acting skills. Some of them are more causals, while some are more exciting in their voice and talents. If your video is language specific, you must be looking to particular accents. Keep the description in mind while selecting an artist. You can also take help of voice talent samples (also called demos) to choose the right talent.

Styles of the artist

The style in which the voice is read is very important for the voice you choose. A particular style can significantly affect the delivery of the message. Not every voice-over artist is comfortable in every style. Some may be announcers with exciting tone; some may be friendly, casual and approachable. Other may be narrator with an authoritative tone. Some voice over artist can even transform their way of delivery to cater to a wide variety of roles. In any case, keep the styles and your need in mind.

After going through all the points mention above, you won’t feel difficulty in choosing the right voice over service for your business. Share your experience with us.
