Voices: Powerful Influence in Marketing Media
Oftentimes, we dont realise the importance and influence of voices in our everyday life. Not only are voiceovers and sounds important for visually impaired people, but the power of voices in todays world are a strong force in everyones lives. Behind the success of the best brands and top consumer products are the voices in their marketing strategies. Lets look at the unforgettable voices that continue to win the hearts of patrons and loyalty of consumers worldwide. These are the voices that when people hear them, they know exactly what the movie or advertisement is all about. Here are some of the impressionable voiceover talents in the past decades, which Terry OReilly, CBC radio programs Under the Influence host, featured in their Voices of Influence episode this month:

oOne of the central characters in the film is a computer named HAL

oCanadian actor Douglas Rain hired to replace Balsam and became the voice of the character of HAL, after the director heard him in a Canadian National Film Board documentary
oHALs voice (portrayed by Rain) controlling, aloof, unbalanced, eerily neutral, ominous, intimidating and powerful, which was the reason female voices are used in almost all phone prompts, computer voice systems and GPS voices to make technology sound smart, helpful and accommodating
