Voice Talent
What is the difference between “voice over talent” and “voice talent?” Not much. A word. Some say that the term voice talent might also include singers. But a visit to the typical talent agency website would show the voice actors usually lumped into the category of voice talent or voice over.
Voice Talent and Singers
I’ve heard more than one voice talent coach or teacher say that singers often have an advantage when it comes to reading voice over copy because of phrasing and breath control they learn as musicians. Good copy tells a story, and it helps to look for the lyrics between the lines as well.
So when you see the term voice talent, know that it’s a catch-all category of performers that can include voice actors, announcers, and singers.
