With technologyย evolving so fast, becoming comfortable with it is essential.
When introducing tech ideas to a new audience, whether the idea is big or small, I think itโs 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 voice actor full-time, I worked as an Apple ๏ฃฟ Certified Technician ***shout out to Tekserve*** and Iโm no stranger to turning tiny screws, using tech terms, recommending new hardware or software, or troubleshooting a customerโs โtech crisisโ. I draw on that experience when doing the same through voiceover.
Working on projects that communicate complex concepts, provide step-by-step instructions, guide users navigating interfaces, offer virtual tours, or enhance a user experience all with a human voice conveying emotions, perspective, and personality.
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-related voiceovers. This is one of the benefits of prioritizing a real person over AI.ย
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!
Letโs not forget future tech minds who can benefit from fun and engaging childrenโs 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.ย
Here are some samples of tech-related projects Iโve worked on for various audiences.
