Me Talk Good English : 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Record Your Own Voice Overs
September 3, 2008
Just because everyone can talk doesn’t mean that everyone is a voice actor. Yes, strange but true!
For instance, would you let a mechanic perform dental surgery on you or ask a dance teacher to stop your toilet from overflowing instead of calling a plumber?
Many people are told that they have a great voice and think that they can record voice overs for their own company (or are asked to by their boss), but what many fail to see is that it isn’t about the voice necessarily, it’s about how you use it.
Something else to consider is that a voice over isn’t only reading, it’s the artistic interpretation of words and the telling of a story with the purpose of getting people to buy in to a concept, strike interest in a product, service, or to simply be entertained.
So, why shouldn’t you record your own voice overs?
1. The voice over won’t sound like it was recorded professionally
2. It will cost you more time and money than hiring a pro to do it will
3. An in-house recorded voice over could actually hurt your brand
The case is stated pretty well, don’t you think?
The last thing any business person wants to do is misrepresent their company, spend more money than necessary, or do injury to their brand image, all of which could very well happen if they recorded their own voice overs.
If you’re in a position where you have a marketing budget or a budget that is set aside for business operations, include professionally recorded voice overs as part of that budget.
You’ll save yourself time, money and stress, but don’t just go with any person who says they’re a voice over talent, be sure to go with the best that you can afford.
Did you know that you’re literally 3 clicks or less away from finding a professional voice over talent?
When you need a voice over recorded, don’t skimp because skimping shows and it’ll cost you more money in lost business in the long run whereas as a good voice over recording will make you money and be an investment in your brand, and that will show too.
