That Guy With “The Voice”

You’ve heard him - that Guy with “the voice”. The TV promo voice. He does announcements, commercials, advertising jingles.

Most people who try to do a voice over run things together, speak too fast or too slow, use filler words and sounds, and mumble, among other things. It’s not that much of an issue when you’re having a face-to-face conversation with someone because they can always ask you to repeat yourself.

A voice-over can be used to manufacture an ironic twist, or to make a statement in the movie. This is the creative element. It can be a character narrating, or miss-matched voices speaking and the speaking does not match the characters on screen.
