Medical Narrator Blog

Along with the explosion of the COVID-19 pandemic came an interest in the medical artists from the CDC who created the now-iconic red and grey image of the Coronavirus. With that, the illustrators and animators who explain science to us every day in 1,001 ways are coming out from the shadows, getting their 15 minutes of Andy Warhol fame, their day in the sun, their artistic due.

In her new blog series, Drawn Together, Debbie invites you to get to know them better.  Amazingly talented, often humble, and frequently shy, these extraordinary artists have an equal passion for science and art, which drove them to become medical animators and illustrators, satisfying their curiosity about the world and fulfilling their creative impulses.

Silent Stars Get Their Time In The Sun

When I started writing this post the world was “only” upside down from the Coronavirus. Now it is upside down and inside out.

Do You Collect Cats?

The Medical Illustrators’ Narrator

Debbie Irwin Voiceover the medical illustrators'narrator

The truth is it’s not easy, and that’s why most voice actors shy away from this kind of work. For me, it’s challenging, educational and rewarding. But most of all, I love working with the fine artists who are illustrating the animations, creatives who care about excellence, perfectionists really, who produce stunningly beautiful work, which brings us back to the AMI Conference.

A lot of People Are Talking, But Are You Being Heard?

Debbie Irwin Voiceovers A lot of People Are Talking, But Are You Being Heard_

So, what did you think about my NPR interview? The content discussed was DTC (Direct-to-Consumer), in which the narrator’s voice needs to project a caring and concerned tone (like a mother, caregiver or healthcare professional), conveying confidence and experience. Advertisements, whether for hospitals or medications, must be delivered with a human touch. Today it’s all

Is it Worth It? — MedVO

Debbie Irwin Voiceover Molly Ferguson

It’s a question we ask ourselves countless times a day. Should I sprint across the street or wait for the light to change? Should I push through the pain of an exercise or be gentle with myself? Should I risk telling someone how I feel, or keep my counsel? Malcolm Gladwell, in his book, Blink,

As the Medical Narrator, I’ve narrated medical device videos, such as this one, which was produced by James Archer of Anatomy Blue for St. Jude Medical.
