What is voice narration?

Voice narration is used to connect the storyline with the audience, communicating a narrative, concept, or message. A voice narration can highlight parts of the story that would otherwise not be told, therefore giving the audience a better understanding of the story and increasing engagement. There are many different media formats when using a voice narration, such as documentaries, animations, audiobooks and podcasts.

By using a skilled voice artist, you are collaborating with someone who can convey the art of storytelling. This technique of storytelling can convey the tone and fast-track complex narrative elements, making voice narration an important part of your production.

At the heart of a narration is the essence of the story and how that is delivered and reflected through the use of voice. The voice needs to reflect the writer’s core beliefs and point of view to ensure that they both align with the underlying purpose of the story. Therefore, a human voice can be as truthful and/or authentic as the writer intended the story to be. There is nothing that surpasses the true authenticity of a real human voice in this application.
