Voice-Over for Real Estate
Advantages of using a professional Voice-Over in Real Estate.
Voice-Overs used in Real Estate
Another time when silence can make or break a sale is in Real Estate. There are three ways agents are enhancing their sales.
- A professional Voice-Over linked to a messaging system. The interested party just calls the phone number in the advertisement or posted sign and listens to a professional pre-recorded message telling the potential buyer of all the item the property has to offer.
- A professional Voice-Over with music played during the showing of the house.
- A professional Voice-Over on the website. While the potential buyer is reading, they are hearing the Voice-Over at the same time.
- For Sale by Owner. Owners that are selling their homes themselves are using professional Voice-Overs and getting results.

Script and Direction
Setting the tone of your Voice-Over.
When deciding on your script for your Voice-Over, you must first decide what tone you want to project.
- A serious tone. Straight to the point. (Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How).
- A character acting out a skit. More relaxed. It brings the listener into the scene as if they were listening in on a conversation.
- A character acting out a funny skit. Comedy helps people remember.
- A serious voice tone acting out a funny skit. Everybody like the switch. A serious tone with a punch line at the end.
- Dynamics (Intensity). Relaxed or hard (“TUESDAY, TUESDAY, TUESDAY”)
Word Count
A calm, understandable rate of speed for reading your script is 2.5 words per second. That’s approximately 75 words total for 30 seconds. Remember, the pause is just as important to allow the listener to comprehend your message.
Faster is called a, “Hard sell”. The rate of speed for reading your script is 3.5 words per second, but that's pushing it. That’s approximately 105 words total for 30 seconds.
Always read your script aloud before you send it in.
Pronunciation
The most important item is pronunciation. In reviewing your script, be sure that any word that can be mispronounced is clearly notated. There are many names, words, phrases, and dialects (that are not in the dictionary) that may be very familiar to you in your part of the country, but will not be apparent to the talent. For example, Des Moines [duh-MOIN] can easily be incorrectly pronounced. In addition, be sure to include CAP-i-tal letters to denote syllable emphasis.
When in doubt notate.
All questionable pronunciations must have precise instructions of the desired diction. Body Tone Multimedia will not be held responsible for any mispronunciations that have not been specified prior to the recording session.
Script Formatting
Please specify if you want a three second count down, A three second pause at beginning, or the voice over to start right on the beginning. If you do not specify it will start at the beginning.
If music is selected with Voice-Over then a few seconds lead in of music will be played before Voice-Over will start.
Turnaround
Body Tone Multimedia has three turnaround options for your convenience.
- Urgent: 24 hours
- Hot: 72 hours
- Regular: five business days
Please confirm the turnaround time you need when placing your order.
Delivery
We offer two (2) methods of delivery: Email and USPS - Priority Mail
- When using email, we compress the file to MP3 or MPEG-4 (AAC). Please consider that most email services do not allow more than 10 Megabytes of data for one letter. This means that an average Voice-Over with music will be approximately 2 minutes long. If you need longer recordings it must burned on a CD and sent via priority mail.
- We can also ship your order on CD. Additional shipping cost will be applied to your order.
How to use your Voice-Over.
Once you get your Voice-Over from your email, you will want to play on a CD player at home or at your business.
- You will need software that will easily convert your MP3 and AAC files into a format that your CD player will recognize.
- You will want to burn your CD.

Please note when using your new Voice-Over for answering machines, voicemail, and cell phones, you may need to turn the bass down or off depending on your equipment.
When recording your outgoing message (OGM) on your cell phone, you may need to use a landline phone to get a better quality message on your service.
