Voice-over for corporate and image film
The commonest mistake in a corporate film is the advertising voice. A company selling itself out loud sounds smaller than it is.
A corporate film is watched by people who want to know something — customers, candidates, investors, sometimes staff. The voice should explain, not persuade. That sounds easy and is the harder discipline: calm holds nobody if it is dull, and pace reads as panic if nothing carries it.
In practice: the pace follows the content, not the cut. Where there is a number, it gets room. Where a list arrives, it does not get rattled off. And where the script makes a claim, it lands as a statement rather than a sale.
With banks and insurers, compliance comes on top. Legal notices, product names, disclaimers — they have to stay comprehensible without sounding like the small print. That, more than anything, is why I have been voicing these institutions for ten years.

What it costs
Corporate films usually run on the website, at trade fairs, on YouTube and internally — several media at once. Name those channels and the intended period and the quote is right the first time.
Common questions
How long can the script be?
Length barely matters for the recording; it matters a great deal for the film. Reckon on roughly 100 spoken words a minute at explanatory pace. A three-minute film therefore carries about 300 words — write 500 into it and you get a rushed film.
Can you pronounce technical terms and product names correctly?
If you tell me beforehand, yes. Send a short list with the intended pronunciation — for international brands a ten-second voice message is worth it. It reliably saves a revision round.
