Popularity Of Female Voice Over Talents

By Marci Glover


Statistics reveal that female voice over artists are preferred more than male voice over artists. The popularity of female voice over talents is based on the fact that corporate organisations rely more on female voices for their automated services over the phone. This is because callers feel more comfortable when they hear a female on the phone rather than a male person.

Whenever you are put through an automated phone service, you will usually hear the voice of a lady not a man. Females are universally accepted to be soft spoken and polite and this is the strategy used by many businesses in order to attract the attention of the person who has called. Another reason why organisations prefer women artists is because the trend is that commonly women work as receptionists, secretaries and customer service representatives and people are used to hearing a female voice instead of a male person.

It is more of a social perception rather than a professional aspect. No matter how talented a male artist is, his demand is not as great as a female artist. Women also possess the ability to create a sense of calmness which reassures the caller that his demands would be met in an adequate way. Whereas callers do not relate in the same way if their phone is picked up by a male on the other side of the line.

An important factor determining which artist will be more appropriate depends on the type of voice over job. A mature sound makes the listener or the caller feel like that the person exactly knows what she is talking about as compared to a young sounding female who people might think that she is inexperienced, and may that isn't the case in the real world but because the caller can only listen to her so based on the sound he passes his judgement.

There are many voice talent companies that promote such artists, also you could hire freelance artists as well. It is a talent that is not possessed by every one and not every woman is confident enough to fulfil the role of an artist in a perfect way. If you are looking for a talent perfect for the corporate world, then you should search for a mature sound with a calming effect.

Besides corporate world requirements, female talent is also required for other things like advertisements, animated movies and much more. Mostly, depending on the requirements of a role, a suitable artist is selected. Many times, auditions are carried out in order to hunt for the perfect individual.

As the demand for women artists is high, so its more likely that they will get well paid. If you are confident in yourself and you think that you possess the skills and abilities to perform such role in an efficient way, then you should apply for specific roles straight away.

Although, companies prefer experienced individuals but if you're lucky, you will find venues where new artists are welcomed and encouraged to apply. Even if you have to become a volunteer or do free work you should do that in order to build your profile. Once you have got enough experience, then you can get a proper job in this regards.
