Genevieve has the flexibility and versatility to match a broad range of styles and tones. Her delivery will naturally match the content of the podcast while creating intrigue and excitement for the listener.

Podcast Commercial Delivery versus Standard Commercial Delivery

Voice over for podcasts is distinctly different than voice over for standard commercials in that they use different styles of delivery to engage their respective audiences.

In podcasting, voice over tend to sound much more conversational and intimate in tone, mirroring the personal connection that hosts create with their listeners. Aiming to seamlessly integrate with the content, the podcast commercial voice over will make promotional messages feel and sound more like an organic part of the narrative–rather than a jarring interruption.

In addition, the flexibility of podcasts allows for longer, more story-driven ads that provide context and build relatability. Without the time barrier, the podcast commercial sounds much more like a conversation that would happen in real life.

On the other hand, voice over for standard commercials typically calls for a slightly more dynamic and attention-grabbing delivery. Given the time constraints of traditional ads, the voice over must quickly convey a message or emotion. The often do this by incorporating catchy slogans and high-energy performances to grab the listeners attention in a short amount of time.

Standard commercials often rely on sound effects, jingles, and visuals to enhance their impact, whereas podcast voice overs prioritize storytelling and authenticity, focusing on creating a genuine connection with the audience.

Ultimately, while both forms aim to promote products or services, the differences in style, pacing, and audience connection highlight the unique nature of voice over in each medium.

Voice over for Podcast Promos

Voice overs that promote various podcasts has another unit set of requirements. The voice actor needs to incorporate the content and tone of the podcast they’re promoting. The huge variety of podcasts that are available today cover every topic imaginable. Podcasts can be scary or disturbing. They can create intrigue and mystery.

We have a myriad of educational podcasts that cover subjects having to do with science, history, law, etc.

Many podcasts are humorous and entertaining. They can incorporate funny interviews or even have listeners call in.

And still more podcasts fall more into the mental health category–aiming to advise, encourage, or inspire the listener.

A great voice actor will be able to adjust their voice over delivery to match each and every one of these topics. Their voice over delivery needs to spark interest and excitement while inviting the audience to tune in.

At the same time, there still needs to be an authenticity and relatability to the podcast promo delivery. Rather than being too forceful or “selling” the podcast, the voice over delivery should feel like they are simply informing the fellow listeners of a great listening opportunity.
