So what does a voiceover person like myself do? I get asked this question quit often, usually accompanies with a bemused face. Well technology has come a long way over the past 5 to 10 years, so there is not much that a voice artist can do with his voice. The audiobook industry is booming so that one area covered.
Then there are a few more
options like these: Computer and Console
Games, Websites, Cd-Roms, Interactive DVD's, iPad, iPhone and Android
Apps, E-learning courses, Podcasts, Interactive children's storybooks,
meditation CD's, toys with embedded sound chips that speak, museum and exhibition
guides, pre-recorded announcements on transport, public information services,
in-store commercials, theatre shows that require pre-recorded voice,
infomercials, shopping centre announcements, film dubbings for foreign film, Answer
phone messages, interactive on-hold messages (I’ve done that too), corporate
presentations, promotional updates for websites, YouTube videos and external
pitches to clients, to name a few. .... The list goes on.
Keep your ears open and listen to all the voices you hear, including your sat
nav and smart phone.Here is me in my studio narrating a poem for my latest audiobook Silence and Darkness
