A Human Voice for Technology Voiceover

With technology evolving so fast, becoming comfortable with tech is essential.

When introducing tech ideas to a new audience, whether the idea is big or small, I think it’s important to have a voice that is human, relatable, and not intimidating.

On paper, most would consider me pretty geeky and certainly tech-savvy. Before working as a full-time voice actor, I worked as an Apple  Certified Technician ***shout out to Tekserve*** and I’m no stranger to turning tiny screws, using tech terms, recommending new hardware or software, or troubleshooting a customer’s “tech crisis”. I draw on that experience when doing the same through voiceover.

I provide professional voiceover for projects that

• Break down complex technical jargon into easily understandable language.
• Guide users navigating interfaces, and provide step-by-step instructions.
• Help users feel empowered and confident with new tools.
• Ease anxieties around adopting new technologies and concepts.
• Offer engaging and informative virtual tours and product demonstrations.
• Increase learner engagement with relatable e-learning & training narration.
• Enhance the overall user experience with a real and empathetic voice

I tailor my delivery to an audience’s comfort level with technology, whether they are complete beginners or seasoned professionals. My versatility as a voice actor allows me to connect with diverse audiences of all ages, with a human voice conveying nuanced emotions, perspective, and my unique personality. 

Real Voice Actors connect to audiences better than AI

AI voices have become very impressive in what they can accomplish, but it’s hard to stand out using an overused AI voice. Many AI companies will hire voice actors for specific projects instead of settling for a human-like AI voice. Realistic voices and real voices are not the same. When introducing new tech, it’s important to build trust, feel accessible, and even show empathy, and voice actors will always perform better in those areas.

Working one-on-one with customers taught me how to connect in a way that can open them up to new concepts, sincerely address their fears and concerns, highlight important but easy-to-miss details, calm their resistance, or make the seemingly complicated look easy. I always keep this in mind when approaching technology narration and tech-related voiceovers. This is one of the benefits of prioritizing an authentic person over AI. 

That feeling of geeking out with like-minded enthusiasts over the latest release or the newest coolest gadget can also be a great inspiration.

I shamelessly love that geek-out feeling!

Diversity in voiceover combats “Hidden Figures”

As an African American female voice actor with a tech background, it’s important to me to hear representation that reflects two often overlooked demographics, Black Voices in Tech and Women’s Voices in Tech. More than telling inspiring stories about past accomplishments like African American female mathematicians at NASA, Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, or Actress and Inventor Hedy Lamarr, it’s important to inspire new tech users and creators by prioritizing including diverse voices. 

By focusing on content resonating with more listeners, you can ultimately enhance the overall effectiveness of your tech message. As for diverse AI voices, they may be able to tweak a language or vocal quality quickly, but you can miss an opportunity to genuinely connect with a wide global audience.

As a woman, I appreciate hearing a female voiceover explaining traditionally male-dominated subjects like tech or science, which avoids the feeling of “mansplaining”, which can turn some listeners off. 

Let’s not forget future tech minds who can benefit from fun and engaging children’s content that not only promotes STEM Education but also encourages kids to start building, creating, and coding from an early age. That education also includes focusing on teamwork and encouraging imagination and problem-solving. Early access to technology teaches the digital literacy skills that children will need for future success. This is exactly why I loved playing tech wiz Codi on the series Cozmo and Friends. 

A Versatile Voice for Various Audiences

Whether you need a friendly, conversational voiceover to connect with learners in your e-learning modules, a cool sound for a tech explainer video, or a professional and serious tone for corporate training materials, I can adjust to fit the right style and vocal quality for your unique project. I’m also often hired to deliver youthful and energetic voiceovers, perfect for engaging younger audiences or creating a more approachable learning experience.

Need a real and relatable voice for your tech project?

Being a full-time voiceover talent gives me the flexibility to schedule sessions, deliver audio in time to meet deadlines, or provide a fast turnaround time when needed.

I’m available to self-record and deliver quality audio files, collaborate remotely from my home recording space via Source-Connect, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or other convenient platforms, or work with you from a recording studio in the New York City area.
