Voice Description

Today, the trend is for voice talents to present themselves as "voice actors". Voice actors are needed for certain types of advertising. For those of us old enough to remember, James Garner and Mariette Hartley sold a lot of cameras and film in some very good, very clever, heartwarming television and radio ads in which they pretended to to be a married couple.

That campaign worked so well because THEY NEVER LOST SIGHT OF THE CLIENT and the client's products and message. They never lost that focus. They set the standard with those ads. Others have tried to follow. Some have succeeded - others have not. Obviously, there is a problem.

The problem is this: Many, perhaps most, "acted" commercials do a wonderful job of showcasing a cute and clever concept or script and the talent of the actors but fail utterly in establishing the product, the service or the name of the client in the minds of the viewer or listener! In other words, they lose their focus.

When you want your ad to be heard and your message to be understood, do you want cute and clever or do you want to sell your product or service? I believe my job is to help you -- or your client -- sell products and services. Now you know what I do.
