The internet has opened many great promotional doors for all manner of different businesses. The expansion of audio and video capabilities has been a big help in this regard. Through placing promotional videos on social networks or file sharing sites can prove tremendously impactful as far as raising awareness to your product or service.
These promotional videos could prove far more successful than a local television commercial since an online video could potentially reach a wider audience. However, reaching an audience is not the same thing as impressing the audience. This is why it is critical than any online video you produce employs professional voice talent.
When producing a promotional spot for radio or television, no business would take a risk not hiring a voice-over professional to deliver the script. A business needs to apply this same logic to producing any promotional video for the internet. Only a qualified professional should be delivering the promotional pitch. The reason for this is that professional voice talent will be most effective in the role.
The word "effective" really can only be defined in one way: the video helps guide those viewing it to actually purchase the product or service it is promoting. The delivery of the voice-over in the video can make or break this result. Again, this is why you need to work with experienced voice talent professionals who can increase the potential for the desired outcome.
Experienced does not mean the voice talent professional's value derives from merely logging a certain number of years working in the field. Nor does it mean the value derives solely from having performed a great many voice jobs. Granted, such experience is assuredly valuable but it is valuable based on what the talent gains from working so many jobs. What does the talent gain? The talent gains the ability to present his or her dictation in such a way that it is emphatic, compelling, and interesting. Such rare attributes are what make a talented person so much in demand.
A voice over is quite a bit more than just reading a script in a stoic manner.You could do this and it would get the expository points of the commercial across. The problem is that the points would not be very compelling. If they are not compelling then potential consumers will probably not react all that positively to what they hear. Voice professionals understand this which is why they use their understanding of how to effectively use their speech to evoke the appropriate reaction in an audience.
For a business, this is a great help as it may sway those taking in the videos words and being swayed to patronize the business. And is that not why a business would produce a promotional video in the first place?
Unfortunately, some businesses will take a Do-It-Yourself approach to producing online videos. There is nothing wrong with this if the end result is a good one. However, when professional talent is not part of the mic the chances the video turns out well will be doubtful.
So, if you are serious about earning profits based on your online promotional videos, hire professional voice talent to do the voice-overs. The finished product will be all the better for it.
