Does Your Narration Represent Your Corporate "Face"?
We often hear from video directors and PR managers:
"The video looks great, but the narration feels a bit off..."
"I've listened to so many voice samples, I don't know who to choose anymore..."
In a corporate VP (Video Package), narration isn't just "explanation." It is the "vocal face" that symbolizes your corporate brand.
In this article, we explain three points for selecting a narrator for a corporate VP from the perspective of a professional narrator.

3 Key Points for Success
Point 1. Matching Brand Image and Vocal Tone Perfectly
When choosing a narrator, consider if the voice symbolizes the corporate brand.
> [Selection Examples by Image]
> * Reliability/Sincerity: Deep, calm tone with clear articulation.
> * Innovation/Advanced: Transparent, slightly edgy, bright tone.
> * Approachability/Empathy: Conversational, soft middle-range tone.
Don't choose just because they are famous; focus on whether the voice alone conveys your company's personality.

Point 2. Matching Target Audience Age and Gender
Who is the listener? The resonance that hits the heart varies by target.
> [Selection Examples by Target]
> * BtoB (Management/Decision Makers): Persuasive, calm male narrator.
> * Recruitment (Students/Youth): A youthful voice reminiscent of a "slightly older, admired senior."
> * Consumer (Housewives/General): A warm tone that provides a sense of security.
It's crucial to choose a voice with a distance that makes the target feel "they are talking to me."

Point 3. Thorough "Image Sharing" Before Recording
This is a technical tip: aligning the image with the narrator before the recording session will drastically improve quality.
| Items to Share | Method | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Keywords | Adjectives like "Passionate" or "Cool" | Eliminates interpretation gaps |
| Reading Speed | Specs like "300 characters/min" | Matches the video duration perfectly |
| Trial Recording | Record a portion of the script | Final check before the actual session |
By doing this in advance, you eliminate hesitation during the session and achieve the best results.
