A Voice Over Agency provides a service that has a significant effect on the image of a business or organization. Voice Over Services are needed in a variety of projects, such as corporate presentations, advertisements, on-line help manuals, promotional DVDs, etc.
A number of artists have the opportunity to make a professional career in Voice Over Recording. There are several areas where a voice-over is required. Some of them are radio and television advertising, narration, characterizations and imaging. Different qualities are needed for different projects. The art of narration and characterization is highly valued. Voices are also required in different accents. The ability to speak in more than one accent is an added advantage for any artist. In radio jingles, a voice should be able to grab the listener's attention. For corporate presentations, companies look to make sure that the recording is done in a thoroughly professional manner and that the tone is kept formal. The recording should be of the highest quality in all respects.
Big agencies have their own recording studio, which is designed to achieve the desired acoustic properties, such as sound diffusion, low level of reflections, adequate reverberation time for the size of the ambient, etc. Different kinds of recording are done at a recording studio. This is where a recording is prepared for broadcast. There are three main rooms in a studio: the live room' (where instrumentalists and vocalists perform), the control room (where sound recording and mixing is done), and the machine room (where loud instruments are kept).
Professional agencies take care of all the stages of production, whether it is an ad film or a corporate video production. Recording, editing and re-recording is done at the studio. Translators and recording artists work together to provide comprehensive services.
