We see the commercials on television all the time…former sufferers of terrible diseases, now symptom free and frolicking in the park with loved ones.
We cringe at the long list of side effects and wonder about the voice talents who dare to speak them.
Pharma has deep pockets and those drug commercials keep on comin’. But did you know there is an equally huge opportunity for non-broadcast work in the medical voice over niche?
There are instructional videos for medical devices, patient education and pharmaceutical sales. There are medical animations that need narrator as well as conferences for continuing education.
In this week’s Inside Voice Over Video training blog I explore this opportunity, including the surprising requirements for two different styles of medical narrators.
In this week’s Inside Voice Over I take a look at the medical narrations niche in this short training video.

Thanks Bryant! I know! Those diseases are no joke but sometimes it feels like the comedy channel
Be well! Susan
This was helpful. A niche that I think I would excel in. Thanks!
Great David. If we can help, give us a call at 800-333-8108 or talent@greatvoice.com
I would like to know how to break into this market – again is an agent necessary or can I just call a pharmaceutical company and ask for the contact person to send my demo??? Thank you Susan!
Most helpful! 2 styles; 1) Speaking to M.D’s. (Just the facts) 2) Chatting with patients, no express talk but casual, caring and helpful explanation.
Best advice.
Thank you.

Thanks Susan,
I loved the medical script..I definitely feel that this is a niche that I would love to explore…Making people feel as comfortable as possible understanding medical terminologies, as well as being able to pronounce them, will be quite rewarding for me!!!
With every good wish,
