How an individual looks is not important in this type of career as the way they sound is all the client is interested in. The goal of the assignments is to have a written script performed effectively enough to convey emotion, create ambiance and make an impression through speech.

The recorded piece may be aired under several different circumstances and situations. What immediately comes to mind for most people are radio spots and television clips that require a narrator or character actor.

Great vocals are necessary, though not enough if they do not sound as good when electronically recorded as they do when used for conversation.
