Live Announce & Voice of God

Unlike an emcee, where a host is visible and commanding the crowd, the audience does not see a Voice of God Announcer. This is actually where the term “Voice of God” comes from. It’s hard to pinpoint where exactly the voiceover comes from, which gives it the feeling of coming from the heavens.

Without access to the physical cues that hosting an event as an emcee would provide you, Voice of God announcers must be capable of powerfully compelling their audience. Casting this role is a lot harder than enlisting somebody who is just a confident public speaker. 

Professional voice actors are trained to use specific vocal inflections and enunciations. When you work with a professional voice actor, you don’t need to worry about miscommunication with your attendees. You can choose to rely either on a pre-recorded or live-announced Voice of God voiceover.

You might not initially think of a female voiceover talent for live announcing. However, many modern companies and organizations break those stereotypes as they connect with modern audiences. The lower range of an alto voice like Maria’s can be just as commanding as the baritone and bass ranges of traditional booming male voices.

In the past, live announcers also sometimes had an affected or artificial quality. Today’s listeners gravitate toward something more realistic, authentic, and down-to-earth. Aim for energetic over booming!

If you listen to some of Maria’s demos, you’ll hear why her authoritative sound works well for this type of voiceover project. Her voice will capture the listener’s attention and make sure they take in the message of your script.

Maria has worked with some of the best coaches and production teams in this genre and has proudly studied & coached with Randy Thomas, a legendary female live announcer of The Oscars and the Tony Awards, among other shows. Maria was thrilled to work with Randy as her Live Announce Voiceover Demo producer.

One of the most common places to find Voice of God live announcers is at high-profile primetime televised events. Top events include The GRAMMYs, The Golden Globes, or The Academy Awards. Maria is a top choice for national events with her long resume of voiceover experience and background as a professional actor. Cool, calm, and collected, Maria is a natural at providing her voice-over announcing talents to high-stress, high-profile events.

People also think of the “Voice of God” when they’re looking for a professional live announcer for shows and events. Unlike a regular Voice of God voiceover, though, which will often be prerecorded, a live event announcer provides their services on the spot.

Sounds nerve-wracking, isn’t it? While the idea of having all eyes on you while you pronounce a long list of awards and award recipients’ names may be terrifying to the average person, it’s all in a day’s work for a professional live event announcer.

When you hire a professional to live announce your event, you don’t need to worry about them making mistakes that distract from the amazing energy of your big night.
