With calls for representation and diversity in all forms of media, there is an opportunity to advocate for and bring in multicultural and diverse voiceovers that goes beyond the visual and includes the auditory experience.

Each professional voiceover artist brings decades of experience and knowledge and can help you determine just the right tone, inflection, and overall approach.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Multicultural Americans

The 2020 U.S Census reported that for the first time, there was a decrease in the number of white Americans who “do not identify with other racial groups.” According to this article, “those identifying as Latino or Hispanic, Black, Asian American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Native American, and as two or more races now comprise more than 40% of the U.S. population.” Actually, by 2050, it is predicted that there will be no racial majority in America.

Diverse Representation In Media

As the world’s population is becoming more ethnically and racially diverse, so should the voiceovers incorporated in every project: political spots, streaming content, radio and television commercials, explainer videos, and documentary narration.

Representation in voiceover projects is a must for brands and companies who want to remain relevant and keep today’s audiences engaged. In a study from Facebook, 71% of consumers expect brands to promote diversity and inclusion in their advertising. Companies can build stronger connections with consumers by taking proactive steps towards authentic representation and inclusion in their content.
