🎙️ How the Right Voiceover can add to your Explainer Animation Video

Explainer animation videos are one of the most effective ways to connect with your audience, but even the most beautifully animated visuals run the risk of the message not fully connecting to your audience if the Voiceover doesn’t land correctly

If you’re creating a corporate explainer, product demo, or internal walkthrough, working with a UK male voiceover artist like me who understands the goal behind your content is key.

Here’s a few things to consider and why the voice matters more than most people realise.

🎯 What Makes a Great Explainer Video Voiceover?

At its core, a great explainer video voiceover does three things:

1. Grabs attention quickly
2. Explains clearly
3. Connects your message to the viewer

The voiceover isn’t background noise, it’s the voice that lands the emotion where it needs it, and puts a smile on their face because of your writing and visuals.

It sets the pace, mood, and tone of trust. But a delivery thats flat, overly theatrical or like the new kid on the block, AI, can completely undercut your message and make it sound unnatural and creates a disconnect.

A good explainer video voiceover feels natural, not forced. It sounds like someone who understands your brand and is speaking directly to your viewer, and as I wrote on my About Me page, alot of brands hire me because they want the viewers to feel the voiceover is speaking to them, not at them, and there’s a big difference in how that sounds and feels!

💡 What to Expect When You Work With a Voiceover for Explainer Content

Here’s how the process typically works:

1. You send me over your script. I can give you your free demo read if you need/want one
2. We discuss tone. Tell me what vibe you’re going for. Relaxed? Upbeat? Friendly? I don’t need to see the animation so don’t worry if its not ready, I can get a clear feel for tone just by reading your script, on top of your instructions
3. You get high-quality audio. Once the script is signed off and a tone agreed, I’ll get to work. All audio is recirded in my pro home studio and you can expect your voiceover back same day or within 24 hours.
4. Need revisions? No problem. Two round of pickups is included, and I keep everything archived for future updates. Little tweaks or changes are of no extra charge either

So, in a nutshell: no drama, no chasing, just a smooth process and a result that feels on brand and on message👌

🌍 Bonus for European Clients

If you’re producing English language content from the EU, there’s a growing demand for native English voiceovers, especially with the upcoming European Accessibility Act (EAA) kicking in on the 28th June, requiring more accessible video content.

Working with an experienced British voiceover artist like me gives you a stress free process of knowing how to record to timecodes and subtitles
