I’ve just returned from a voiceover conference, where the focus was very much on how we out-voice the AI voices and what I took away was that while AI voices have undoubtedly carved a space for themselves in our tech-driven world, there’s an irreplaceable magic in the human voice.
The emotional connection, adaptability, dynamic expressiveness, and the ability to build trust all contribute to the undeniable advantages of choosing a human voice.
“But AI voices are getting better at emotion all the time, aren’t they?” Well yeah but here’s the thing. A robot cannot actually feel those emotions. And there’s a special kind of magic that happens when a human voiceover feels something in a script, and it changes their voice.
It’s the kind of authenticity that is very difficult to copy.
So, here’s to human voiceovers and all their emotional, compassionate, feeling glory and the next time you’re contemplating how to convey your message, remember the power of the human touch – a timeless advantage that transcends the boundaries of technology.
