Voiceover services for digital pre-roll ads

We deliver compelling voiceover that captures your audience in the first five seconds, turning skippable moments into memorable brand connections.

What makes great digital pre-roll ad voiceover

You have mere seconds to make an impact. Whether it’s a non-skippable ad on YouTube, a short spot on a streaming platform, or a website video, the voice of your pre-roll ad is your most powerful tool. It’s the first thing your audience hears, and it determines whether they listen or immediately look for the skip button.

A professional voiceover transforms a simple video ad into a compelling narrative that builds trust and drives action. The right voice can cut through the digital noise, ensuring your campaign message is not just heard, but felt. This impactful audio element is crucial for persuading your target audience and achieving your marketing goals.

Great digital pre-roll ad voiceover requires a unique blend of speed, clarity, and personality. Here’s what sets professional pre-roll voice work apart:

FAQs about digital pre-roll ads

What is a digital pre-roll ad voiceover?

A digital pre-roll ad voiceover is the narration for a short video advertisement that plays before main content on platforms like YouTube or streaming services. Its primary goal is to capture audience attention within the first five seconds to prevent them from skipping the ad. The voice actor must deliver the message with clarity, energy, and precise pacing to match the fast-paced visuals of a 15 or 30-second spot. This specialised performance is crucial for making an immediate impact and conveying the brand’s message effectively in a limited timeframe.

Why is a professional voiceover important for pre-roll ads?

A professional voiceover is important for pre-roll ads because it grabs attention instantly and builds brand credibility in the critical first few seconds. Unlike a generic or robotic voice, a professional voice actor conveys authenticity and emotion, making your message more trustworthy and relatable. Their precise timing ensures the narration syncs perfectly with your visuals, delivering a clear call-to-action that drives results. This quality directly impacts an ad’s effectiveness, turning a potential annoyance into a compelling brand experience that viewers are less likely to skip.

How do you choose the right voice for a pre-roll ad?

Choose the right voice for a pre-roll ad by matching the actor’s tone, style, and energy to your brand identity and target audience. Listen to several auditions or demos to assess clarity, authenticity, and the ability to convey the desired emotion for your script. Consider whether you need a warm and trustworthy narrator, an energetic and youthful voice, or an authoritative expert to best represent your message. Selecting a voice that aligns with your campaign goals ensures a consistent and memorable ad that resonates effectively with viewers.

How long should a pre-roll ad voiceover script be?

A pre-roll ad voiceover script for a 15-second ad should be approximately 35-40 words, while a 30-second ad script should be around 70-75 words. These word counts allow for a natural, unhurried pace that is clear and easy for the audience to understand. It is vital to time the script by reading it aloud before finalising it, as rushed delivery can undermine the ad’s impact. Keeping the script concise ensures every word serves a purpose and that the key message is delivered effectively within the strict time constraints.
