The Rise of the Understated Ad: Commercial Voice Overs by Ryan Stephenson
Hard sells had been the rage for years, but listeners have long learned how to tune them out. They’re the commercial voice-overs that use louder and bolder sounds in an attempt to jostle the audience into listening. They make people feel panicked and often comfortable. In many cases, they no longer work. And they’re certainly not the type of ad higher-end firms want associated with their brand.
Soft sells are climbing the ranks as the most effective commercial voice-overs, especially for sophisticated companies. These ads make listeners feel comfortable and secure. There’s no pressure, no panic and no voice screaming for you to buy. In some cases, there isn’t even a call-to-action to buy.
The main aim is to leave the listeners with a warm and comfortable feeling for the brand, a feeling that intuitively builds trust. The most important aspect of a soft sell commercial voice over designed to build trust is a trustworthy voice, one that welcomes and invites the listeners. The one you’ll find with Ryan Stephenson.
