Football voice over, particularly the NFL, is one of favorite genres of voice over projects to work on. Pro football voice over requires a certain level of gravitas and swagger. The NFL voice over requires a sound that resonates with the hard working and gritty audience it attracts. Authenticity triumphs all in this case. NFL voiceovers fuel off of attitude. It is the voice actors job to display the right attitude given a combination of: music, creative direction, visual reference and story.

I’ve had the pleasure of working on the Kansas City Chiefs voice over projects for a few years now. Each spot they create has a great story behind it. Each spot has a certain tone and cadence. The NFL voice over requires fierce pace and cadence. During the session, my approach was to connect deeply with the story. The story of the history behind the city itself. To listen for the cadence in the roars at the stadium and to feel it.

At times, football voice over projects challenge the voice actor to find a balance between being a die hard fan and an authentic sounding motivational “guru”. Really, it’s delivering with a strong sense of humility and pride. Kansas City Chiefs were very big on their connection with pride. True pride, in a quality voice over, can make even the disbeliever- believe and that’s the power of a good football voice over sound.

Football voice over for the NFL

As I continue to work on my particular NFL voice over sound, I often reflect on the years it took delivering my specific cadence, tone and maturity. The practice comes in handy, if you’re ever up to it, practice reading an NFL voice over script in 3 different emotions: intimate, hard sell and real. Each one will give you a different sense of pride and spirit. It’s often called upon us as sports voiceover actors to be able to deliver these 3 particular style of reads. My personal favorite is the intimate voice over read. Intimate reads have a powerful way of delivering the right feel for a motivational football voice over commercial. The rawness, the subtly and softness all seem to blend well.

The Kansas City Chiefs voice over projects continue to help me grow as a voice actor. I am able to practice various emotions and deliveries as the team progresses and finds it truest believers. It’s a true pleasure working on these spots. They usually allow me to express my poetic side with enough gravitas to keep a healthy balance of humility and pride. Don’t be afraid to explore your own humility and pride during your next nfl voiceover read.

Get raw. Get connected. Get heard.

When a client requests an “athletic sound” the voice talent will have to access their inner athlete. But, no two athletes are alike. A football voice over project requires a talent to have a certain level of gravitas and courage. A certain energy and quiet intensity to their voice over. During my Kansas City Chiefs Voice Over session, I had to find that inner athlete and be consistent with his delivery. NFL voice overs range in their creative approach. Some production companies like the soft intimate voice over reads, while others like to start soft and build in intensity, eventually climaxing, before falling back down toward the end. It is the job of the voice over artist to flow with that pace and cadence to the directors liking. Sports voice over actors tend to sound too much like an announcer. Nowadays, clients seem to be eager to be searching for the “poetic voice” instead. Some of the best NFL voice over spots have a beautiful build in pace and energy. The Kansas City Chiefs voice over creative director did a great job in building and balancing my pace and energy, allowing me to sound consistently motivated throughout the read.

Voice talent for hire should always do some due diligence of their own prior to a voice over session. This includes studying a few YouTube clips of the client and learning about their customers. In this case, football voice over commercials were easily found online and I spent a few hours learning what worked and what didn’t. NFL voice over projects are some of my favorite ones to do because of the level of gravitas they require. Who motivates the motivated athletes? Who rallies the crowd? Who inspires the inner beast in all of us? That’s the football voice over actor’s job and if he/she sounds weak or timid, it will certainly not sound authentic.

Kansas City Chiefs Voice Over Talent

The sports voice over actor must sound fearless, excited, hungry, real, raw and authentic all at the same time. Game day is never over. The athlete never sleeps. Winning is the motivation and losing is the enemy. NFL voice over projects are becoming ever-so more creative, popular and raw and the only way to deliver the message is head on!
