Time to get my crystal ball out... Here are my predictions for the voiceover industry
By Chris Tester - British Male Voiceover Artist
Happy 2023! Time to get my crystal ball out...
The voiceover industry has seen significant growth in recent years and this upward trajectory is expected to continue.
Here are my predictions for the future of the voiceover industry:
Voiceovers will become increasingly important in the marketing industry, for brands to tell their stories and connect with their audiences.
More people will be using voiceovers to advertise, market, and promote their products or services.
There will be an increase in demand for high quality voiceover artists who can deliver a professional sounding product in a timely manner.
There will be more opportunities for voice actors to work remotely and freelance, allowing them to have more flexibility in their lives while also increasing their earning potential.
Voiceover and AI technology will continue to merge, allowing for more sophisticated and seamless audio creation. (this is a big one!)
Voiceover will become even more common in video games, allowing players to interact with in-game characters and environments. This will open up new opportunities for voice actors to work on various projects within the gaming industry.
More and more products, services, and apps will be created for voice-based interactions. This means that there will be an increased demand for voiceover actors to create the audio content used in these products and services.
Do you work in audio, gaming, or voiceover production? I'd love to hear your own predictions in the comments.
