The world’s leading voice-over provider Voices reports a sharp increase in demand for voice over and sonic branding services coming from Asia.

Remote audio production and voice recording are key elements for ushering in the digital audio revolution, where voice branding is the main asset to distinguish brands and products.

The branded, spoken word will be an incredible tool to differentiate brands in a remote, technology-driven world that is filled with touchless customer journeys in 2021, Voices’ market researchers predict.

“Asian companies looking to expand globally are leveraging voice, and specifically sonic branding, in their go-to-market plans. Translating a promotional video from Japanese or Mandarin is a proven way to increase awareness of a new product or service offering in countries around the world,” says David Ciccarelli, founder and Chief Executive Officer at Voices. “We expect a rapid growth in voice demand for consumer electronics, automotive, and healthcare, with an influx of voice-augmented technologies from Asia throughout 2021.”
