There are many, many customers who simply turn the channel when they hear local vendors voicing their own advertisements on the radio. Sure, they laugh. Sure, they remember the merchant. They also remember that they vowed on the spot never to set foot in that particular store. Whether it's because they had to endure a painful listening experience or whether it's because they assume the unprofessional commercial means that the merchant is a bit less than professional, doesn't make a difference. What matters is, the commercial turned off someone who may have otherwise spent money in that store.

Many people assume that all they need to do is let others know about their product and customers will come spend their money. If that were the case, corporations wouldn't be spending loads of money per year on marketing campaigns. How you present what you have to offer is important. It may even be more important than the quality of the product itself. No one is going to know about the quality if you can't get their attention in a good way to begin with. Telling them isn't going to cut it either, because they already have dozens of other business owners with the same service or product telling them theirs is the best.

That's the reason your commercial has to get people's attention. But, of course, you want it to stand out in a good way. You don't want to make people dislike you.

A commercial should convince potential customers to try your product. And yes, sounding energetic may indeed help you in some cases, but sounding professional – or hiring an actor to sound professional for you – will help you win over more customers. Many vendors actually turn listeners off by trying to come on too strong, and too “fun.” Trying to seem “fun” often gets in the way of the product or service. It often makes customers feel as though you are trying too hard. It often makes them feel as though you are trying to make them think you are a very special person who needs to be paid attention to.

What you want is to make your listener feel special, as though they are worth paying attention to. A professional commercial is a good start. You may even want to mention that to the person you hire. “I want you to make my customer feel as though he or she is the most special individual in the world.” That always makes people feel good, because in our “Look at me!” society, it is very rare. And frankly, people are tired of people who want things from them clamoring for their attention.

Yet, when a non-professional makes a commercial that is exactly how they seem. It can be exhausting to listen to something like that.

An actor, however, knows how to cut through all of that and make the audience want to listen. Even though the customer knows the actor is trying to sell them something, they become willing to believe the patter for a few minutes because it is interesting. A professional voice-over artist knows how to make listeners feel good, and that is the most valuable thing about them.
