John Miles Voice Overs: "Make it conversational"

"Make it conversational"

I often see producers wanting a conversational tone in the voice over. One part of that is lowering the volume of your voice. Don't shout at the microphone! It's designed to amplify your voice.

I do a lot of educational and training narrations. Using a conversational delivery is spot on.

Here is a link to an online tutorial I voiced having to do with publishing and plagiarism.

My client list

Folks sometimes ask me who I've voiced for. It's an interesting business. Some people only have need for an occasional voice over, say for their website landing page. Other clients have been with me for years. Here's just a partial list:

Comcast Spotlight (New York-New Jersey) , Fox Sports Network, Siemens, The Game Show Network, Microsoft, Enyota Learning, Publix Supermarkets, Conrad- Caine (Germany), Captive Audience, Electrify Media, Braincloud Sound, Kepha Resources, LMX Media, K-LA Tencor, Dyson, Meineke, Brainvisa, Hollywood East, Plexus Medical, U.S Government Housing, Dazzle Technologies, Premiere Retail Networks (Walmart in store advertising).

I was hired to voice four episodes of "Animal ER Houston." The shows are without professional actors and unscripted. So, there's a wonderful sense of spontaneity in the episodes. From a voicing stand point, I did not see the videos that my voice would be matched to before recording, so all my cues came strictly from the copy, and from some brief direction from the producer beforehand. You can watch the episodes here, but be warned, if you're an animal lover like I am, you might be reaching for the Kleenex. The episodes open with a brief spot for the Houston Zoo voiced by a young female, and then me.
