1. Product demos

A clear and articulate voice is key to helping viewers understand how the product’s features can benefit them. Think of Apple’s product videos. The voice style is confident and knowledgeable, guiding viewers through features with ease.

2. Explainers

These need a friendly, engaging tone to simplify complex information, so the voice actor should be relatable and have an easy-to-understand vocal tone. Slack is a prime example of using warm, conversational voices to break down intricate concepts in explainer videos.

3. Behind-the-scenes?

Go casual and conversational to engage with viewers and make them feel like they’re getting an insider look into the brand. Hubspot Life’s video series nails this with interviews and relatable voice overs, making viewers feel like insiders.

4. Testimonials

Authenticity is essential because people trust people. The voice style should be sincere and convey genuine satisfaction to build credibility. Nike’s testimonials use real athletes with heartfelt voiceovers, showcasing genuine experiences and building trust.

5. Brand storytelling

For these types of videos, you need an emotive and inspiring voice to tell heartfelt stories. Coca-Cola’s "Share a Coke" campaign shows how powerful storytelling can create deep emotional connections.
