Music is a shortcut to emotion and mood creation. Everything from sexy, cool, sombre, melancholic, humorous, energetic, chilled....you get the idea. You have laboured over crafting scripts, chosen the perfect voiceover to tell the story and now you want to bring your production to the next level. Whether it is a radio advertisement, documentary, e-learning project or even a simple on hold message, music can elevate the audio and the production so it really resonates with the listener.
Music and voiceovers unfortunately are nearly more important than the content, Why? People naturally perceive audio on a subconscious level in the first few seconds. If they pay attention and the audio is coherent with what they expect or indeed want- only then will they listen and hear the content.
Choosing voiceovers in Ireland or any other country can be done through Google. Simply type in what you want like male voiceover Ireland and you will be met with a number of results ranging from sites with many voiceovers or sites directly to a voiceover. There are many types of quality and many ranges of pricing. Music is the same - the ideal scenario is to use original music from recognised recording artists but this can be expensive or restrictive. Other options include commissioning original music, library music (very cost effective) or development of jingles or mnemonics.
Music is powerful and must be chosen carefully whether it is in the foreground or background it can be the gloss to lift your project and your voiceover.
Best of luck!
