Telephony is an often overlooked genre of voice over. Ok, so maybe it’s not as fun or glamorous as video games or promo or animation. But it can actually be very lucrative. A nice foundational genre for your business to have consistent income landing in your bank account while you’re pursuing some of those other genres.
Mention the the words telephony, IVR or on-hold messaging in the voice over world, and one name will come up nearly every time. That name is Liz de Nesnera. She is a master of this genre of voice over, even consulting with the GVAA on the telephony rates for the GVAA Rate Guide. In this interview, she delivers on Master Class on telephony, and makes a strong case for why it’s a genre more of us should be considering.
