TORONTO, CA - (mmd-news) - - Some cars now have voices reminding you to fasten your seatbelt or close your door. People are buying audio books rather than printed books. There are talking websites with movies that explain their product. Online courses, training videos, voicemail, voice on hold, virtual house tours, and video games are all popular technologies that use a human voice.
The Trend to Add Voices to Technology has Created a Huge Demand for Voice Actors and InteractiveVoices
TORONTO, CA - (mmd-news) - - Some cars now have voices reminding you to fasten your seatbelt or close your door. People are buying audio books rather than printed books. There are talking websites with movies that explain their product. Online courses, training videos, voicemail, voice on hold, virtual house tours, and video games are all popular technologies that use a human voice.
The newest trend to add a voice to technology is the podcast. A podcast is just like an audio book only it is listened to over an mp3 player or ipod. A new report by Forrester Research Inc. says that 12.3 million US households will use their MP3 players to listen to audio podcasts by the end of the decade. BBC News reports that 1 in 10 adult Americans - equivalent to 22 million people - owns an MP3 player
The thing that all of these new “talking” technologies have in common is they all need someone with a professional voice to read the script.
Interactive Voices (www.interactivevoices.com), an online marketplace founded in 2003, provides a unique service to match businesses with voice actors. The service works a lot like an online dating service. Companies needing a voice can listen to thousands of different voice samples and choose the one that is right for their project.
The old method of finding a voice talent was hiring an advertising agency. The agency would then outsource the audio production to a recording studio. The studio would then subtract a professional voice talent, all in all, a cumbersome, time consuming and expensive endeavor. Company CEO David Ciccarelli says, "InteractiveVoices simplifies the entire process of hiring a professional voice talent by helping companies to find the right voice for their projects – on time and within budget. Businesses save thousands of dollars by going directly to the source, eliminating costly markups and intermediaries. Business people can easily post a job, communicate one-on-one with the voice talent of their choice and move ahead quickly on their own terms."
Interactive Voices now has over 36,000 professional voice talents and clients seeking voice-over services. Over 69,662 voice demos have been listened to by 104,978 unique visitors, creating 6911 job opportunities each month. Interactive Voices is the leading online marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of voice-over services.
