Brett from Certain Software
Behind the scenes at Certain Software are some very talented, dedicated, and fun-loving people. While creating our new on-demand training videos, I had the pleasure of recording voiceovers with a number of our staff. When I began this project, a few people were recommended to me for voice talent. Since every video is an opportunity for new characters and scenarios, I decided to see who else might respond to a talent call.
The surprising thing is nearly everyone I’ve asked to record a voiceover has said yes and is excited to do so. I think people appreciate the chance to spend a few minutes of their day doing something very different from their typical responsibilities.
Nina and Heather appear in a few different videos and both work in new product design. Neither of them comes from a performance background. Heather shared that the voiceover work was a welcome opportunity to get “involved in another aspect of the company.” Nina has worked in training in the past and found the e-learning modules were dull. She likes that the voiceovers and photos make the “training more interactive and add a personal touch.”
When Brett isn’t busy directing program management for Certain, he plays guitar in a band and has actually taken voiceover classes. Brett notices that “musicians and artistic types” seem drawn to the voiceover work. He personally enjoys the opportunity with voiceovers to work on how you say something, as well as what you say. Brett’s also the one who coined the title for this blog.
As you watch the videos, you’ll hear numerous other voices from the Certain Software staff. While I didn’t name them all here, I am grateful to each for their enthusiasm and courage!
