"Alright, class, I have a sore throat, so I'm going to have a woman who's barely five years older than you teach you about chemistry while I play Candy Crush. Don't worry, if you have any questions, I'll just tell you to refer to your guide!"
Can I just say how interesting this stuff is? This is an aspect of VO work that doesn't get a whole lot of attention, though it's literally everywhere.
I find it fascinating how we can all think immediately to some sort of advert, documentary, inspo porn, e learning, or customer service experience we've had like these types of voices are deeply engrained in our psyche and we hate some of them but either way it all goes into how tricky adverts really are and how much it is used to play into our emotions and thoughts.
Yeah, when I heard that particular tone that's immediately what came to mind. It would be enough to get Bruce Banner to Hulk out. And now I want to see that in a scene.
Yeah I don’t like the last one because it’s giving “your call is very important yo us and will be answered shortly!” Even though you had me on hold for THREE HOURS!! 😂
@tawnyplatis7866 I respect you as an independent human being - and I know that getting paid is vital to life. However, this voice in particular, after so much exposure, makes me twitch.
I’m creating some elearning resources and I am desperately *not* trying to sound like the last one, but I keep falling into it. It’s almost like being possessed by an IVR!
I think most of us about popped a vessel at the last voice. 🤣 Least favorite part about a new job is that _every damn workplace_ has the last voiceover. 😭 (AuDHD, so my resume is a grocery list at this point)
This is incredible work! I felt something completely different when you used different tones. I didn’t think I was so socially programmed to react this viscerally to changes in voice and tone. Your chase voice makes me want to crawl out of my skin. 😂 It’s a compliment I swear 😂🪦
I quit my corporate job at the end of last year. With the FIRST PHONEME of the training module voice? I literally groaned aloud. Which is my way of saying, “Damn, you’re good at your job! That was instantly evocative!” 😂😂😂
I'd honestly be really curious to hear this without the backing music - it's such a subtle thing if you don't think about it but damn does it sell the context
Yeah, same. It's some seriously uncanny valley stuff, it completely doesn't sound like an actual person, it sounds like some kind of robot trying to imitate a person in order to sell you stuff and still being extremely, PAINFULLY obvious that it's trying to sell you stuff, and otherwise being very hollow and inhuman-sounding in its imitation.
I honestly do these voices really well. I tricked my brother into thinking he was on voicemail and he pressed the buttons and everything until i burst out laughing 😂
Hii Bridey!! My favourite videos are the ones where you learn how to cook, especially with your korean friend. I cannot choose! Congratulations with hitting 1 million
Wow just looked at the first part and its crazy how much difference tone makes. I just thought they used different voice over actors to fit the needed tone. But had no clue that someone can do all of these.
Amazing insight. I hope you do more of this! Also I find that the last one is irritating in real life but can be appreciated when done in films as satire or horror.
I normally despise ASMR and what not, but I feel like if there was ASMR of your documentary voice I'd listen to it forever. Please record everything ever made in that voice. 😍
as someone who used to work with a lot of calling to automated systems, that welcome to chase voice gave me major flash backs to being the least bit congested and trying to call. It could never understand me.
I would love if you did a video explaining how someone could get voice over work? What training is required? How to build experience and a resume. Is location a major factor?
