Voice Over Tonality that Matches Your Message
Debbie Irwin has lent her voice to many different types of voiceover, each requiring a different tone in order for the message or story to fully impact the listener. Thoughtful consideration around vocal quality is crucial to ensuring that a voice will resonate with those that hear it. It goes much further than female or mature. Does your message need to be casual and conversational, or authoritative and professional? Are you aiming to deliver a passionate and inspiring message or one that is more calm and comforting? It takes skill in understanding the importance of nuance, tone, the pace needed, and to possess the skills in script analysis that can produce a successful voiceover. One recording could require different vocal qualities, switching from a more fun and fresh tone to a more intelligent and polished feel, so an expert voiceover talent should be versatile. Story-telling is important in any voiceover narration and it begins with the tone the vocal quality is able to set.
