Voiceover Services for Nail Art Application System

April 26, 2013 by Debbie Grattan

Instructional videos are an important part of my voiceover services work, so I was happy to hear from this new client who found me via a web search.

We communicated only by email, but the process worked out well.

He needed a voiceover services audio turned around quickly for an e-learning type narration. Since his client was going to conduct a training on this new machine,  they needed a narrated video tutorial to go along with it.

Female Voiceover Talent Debbie Grattan is the voice for this instructional video for Tat’z.

Female Narration Voiceover Services

I’ve done a few salon nail programs, but I’d never seen one like this. Of course, as in most instances, I’m narrating without the benefit of seeing any video first. So when I do get a copy of the final video, it will be fun to see how it all comes together, and how the product/machine actually works. In this instance, the machine “tattoos” a design onto the nail. You can see it in the video—it’s called Tat’z. With this “tattoo,” you can put works of art on your nails. Some of the technological devices being invented these days are really amazing.

I tried gel nails for the first time a few weeks ago, and I’m amazed at how good they look and how long they last. Maybe I’ll get a chance to try Tat’z at a salon near me sometime soon. I am also voicing a direct response TV spot for another nail care system called “Haute Nails,” which is a do-at-home gel nail system. They sent me a sample, which is always fun to try out.

“As Seen on TV” products are often ground-breaking and very popular, so it’s neat being on the cutting edge.

Female Narration Video – Child Check System

January 13, 2013 by Debbie Grattan

Here’s a very recent female narration project I completed for Durham School Services, which explains their “Child Check System” as part of an overall focus on child safety.

This was produced by Kaye Veazey of VZ Communications located in Lake Forest, IL, and I just recently connected with Kaye over the summer to work on this video.

Female narration projects are a staple for my business these days. I enjoy recording scripts that cover all different types of topics, products and services… Nice to be able to learn something new every day!

Voice-over Services for Medical Commercials

December 6, 2012 by Debbie Grattan

Caring for the mind and body is an important part of our everyday lives—for ourselves and our families. Which is why I’m very proud of the voice-over services work I’ve been providing for the health and medical industries.

In my career as a professional voice-over artist, healthcare and medicine are among my busiest industries, I get a huge amount of requests for health and medical narration voice-over services as well as requests for radio and tv commercials for hospitals and medical groups. I enjoy my work immensely. It’s extremely gratifying to be able to help share the messages of these important companies.

Here, I share some highlights of my work as a professional voice-over artist for the healthcare industry. I’ll highlight a few voice-overs for tv commercials in this post and I’ll do a followup post that features a few health and medical narration voice-over samples.

Commercial Medical Voice-over Services Sample #1 – This first voic-eover commercial spot is very new (as of this December 2012 posting) and turned out great! The exploding (and re-assembling) heart visual is pretty amazing. This was booked through my Los Angeles Voice-over Agent, Voices Talent Group, and is playing in the Madison, Wisconsin region. It was a challenging session and the director was excellent and really knew what he wanted. He was looking for strength and succinctness combined with an overall sense of warmth and ease. Hope I hit that mark, you can be the judge!

 

Commercial Medical Voice-over Services Sample #2 – Here is a regional and currently running spot for IU Health Goshen Heart and Vascular Center, which is a local medical facility. It was produced by my friend Kyle Bainter with Overdun Productions. I love the look and concept of this tv commercial. It is a followup to a previous commercial that I voiced for Kyle about a year ago that had a similar concept. The music and heartbeat that precedes the VO is always a cue for me to perk my ears when listening to TV in my own market, since I see this one a lot.

 

Commercial Medical Voice-over Services Sample #3 – Another commercial voice-over services series of spots, also for my local region, was produced by The Big Idea Company, and markets the Michiana Hematology and Oncology Center. These were all touching, heart-felt, emotional spots with clever visual concepts. Here is one of my favorites from that series.

 

Commercial Medical Voice-over Services Sample #4 – Next, we have a totally different type of healthcare & medical voice-over for tv a commercial, for Kinney Drugs “Ready Scripts” which is an automated prescription ordering and delivery system. I really love the look and feel of this commercial too. One of my favorites in this category.

 

Commercial Medical Voice-over Services Sample #5 – And, finally, a more technological feel is found in this tv commercial for Cyberknife, which uses focused beams of radiation to destroy tumors. Produced by Dimension X, a long time client of mine. There are many Cyberknife centers in major cities across the country, and I’ve been fortunate to be the voice on these spots in most cities.

Commercial Voiceover Celebrating Veteran’s Day

November 10, 2012 by Debbie Grattan

My heartfelt gratitude and sincere appreciation goes out to all of the brave men and women who serve our country’s armed forces. The level of determination and sacrifice that is required in today’s world is awe-inspiring.

Here’s a tv commercial voiceover that I originally recorded last year for Martin’s Supermarkets which honors our veterans and encourages everyone to take a moment to thank a US military veteran for their service this Veteran’s Day.

Just saw it again this year while watching the Notre Dame vs. Boston College game on 11/10/12. In fact, it played back to back with my IU Goshen Health tv commercial voiceover spot during one of the commercial breaks. That was a bit of a thrill to show up in back to back commercials during a big game!

A Fun Halloween Party Voiceover Radio Spot…

October 31, 2012 by Debbie Grattan

In honor of All Hallows Eve, here’s a fun little voiceover radio spot I recently completed for a client in Antigua. Promoting a Halloween Party at a local area club… The return of Madame Gincha, which is a character you may recall from my Characters Voice Over Demo. Audio mixed with a few character pics of me over the years.

Why You Need a Pro Commercial Voice-Over Artist for Your Next Commercial

January 30, 2012 by Debbie Grattan

Professional Commercial Voice-Over Artist Debbie Grattan offers her thoughts on the advantages of hiring a Pro Commercial Voice-Over Talent versus someone who is newer to the voice-over business.

.
Being a full-time commercial voice-over artist, I always have my ear tuned to commercials. Whether it’s on tv or radio, I find it amusing how just as many listeners are taking their attention away from the program (as it goes to commercial break), I am unconsciously tuning in.

Living in a relatively small media market in the Midwest, I see and hear a wide range of quality in the radio and tv commercial spots. Occasionally, I say to myself (or my husband if he’s in earshot), “What were they thinking? Who approved that read?!”

Commercial Voice-Over Artist Debbie Grattan

Perhaps I’m overly sensitive because I grew up in the monstrous market of Southern California, where nearly every single spot (in prime time anyway) is extremely well crafted. And where radio commercials are perhaps even more important than television commercials in attracting listeners and customers, since capturing the ear of all of those drivers on the freeway is essential. I find that a good commercial voice-over track and script can make up for a lot of subpar stuff that may be happening elsewhere in the spot.

So, choosing a quality commercial voice-over talent and making sure you have a well-written script are of paramount importance when you’re trying to make that strong, positive impression on your audience. This holds true for both radio and television commercials when choosing which pro voice talent to hire.

As I’ve mentioned in other commercial voice-over business articles, there are a whole lot of voice talent newbies out there who have jumped into this business thinking they’ve got what it takes to do this for a living. What they usually fail to realize is the subtlety and nuance involved in reads, and how one little change in inflection can completely change the meaning that is conveyed to the audience.

I find that without some solid acting training and script interpretation skills, it’s very difficult to have the foundation to be able to provide the array of vocal options that clients often want to hear, so they can choose the best take. Most of the time, that foundation comes only after years of experience.

If you’re going to the cost and effort of producing a tv or radio commercial, I strongly suggest you don’t cut corners in the voice talent selection part of the process. The voice talent can make or break the success of your advertising spot.

I know not everyone realizes this. Some people are very visual, others are kinesthetic and still others are auditory. It’s essential to cover all three bases (and look/listen) to your spot from all combined perspectives, to make sure you are sending the desired message on all channels
