How To Succeed As A Corporate Narrator

By David Peterson


Organizations and companies are always searching for talents to voice-over their materials. This is a full time engagement for many since there are emerging needs and the desire to produce new materials on regular basis. It makes a career as a corporate narrator a possibility. Since not everyone can take up the opportunity, here are tips that will enable your career to kickoff and blossom.

Master the language used. Organizations prefer different languages depending on the audience and products. Only masters of these languages will have an opportunity to participate in projects. Pronunciation of words and intonation in sentences must be perfect. You need to practice and focus on producing content that is captivating and can be distributed far and wide.

The products, culture and uniqueness of the company must be understood. Narrating is not just about reading words on the script. You need to understand the audience, context and how to connect with listeners. Companies are choosy when going for talents. It is your passion for the company that will capture the attention of the judging panel. This passion makes it feel as though the company is making the narration.

Companies only work with talents that can maintain the reputation of their brands. The public can recognize voices and associate them with brands. With a good reputation, you have an opportunity to voice over and even act for organizations. A talent that is followed by a pile of scandals will dent the image of an organization, making it impossible to get gigs.

Audition at every opportunity that you get. This is especially important to persons who are not yet recognized to be head hunted. It is during auditions that you capture the attention of scouts. You also learn a thing or two about what the industry wants. Without auditioning, no one will ever know that you have a golden voice.

Distribute samples of your work to recruiting agencies and organizations that would be interested in your talent. You must always have the audios prepared as opposed to recording them in a hurry whenever they are required. You learn of some projects or auditions with a short deadline and have no opportunity to go to the studio. With a ready audio, you just present it and avoid missing the opportunity.

Keep your voice in perfect shape. Since you will be narrating, the voice becomes your tool of trade. Unless it is in good shape, you cannot get the opportunities. Any through infection or disease should be treated with urgency. Failure to act on time will expose you to vocal cord damage, a scenario that would herald your end. Take a lot of water, eat the right foods and avoid consuming food or drinks that can affect your voice. Shouting or activities that would affect vocal production should also be avoided.

Talents that are exposed have a chance to take part in corporate narrations. Your voice should be distinct and ready for manipulation on need basis. Take advantage of available opportunities and use them to grow your profile. Treat your voice as a valuable asset by nurturing and protecting it.
