Why use e-learning and online training?
The e-learning sector has been growing rapidly in recent years. There was a 900% growth in online learning between 2000 and 2020, and the covid-19 pandemic has seen even more learning move into the virtual space.
Here are a few facts and figures as to why e-learning is being used by more and more companies:
- 12% of HR managers cite ‘not enough training’ as one of the top reasons that employees leave.
- Companies that offer e-learning generate 26% more revenue per employee.
- E-learning increases knowledge retention rates by 25-60%.
- 72% of companies believe that e-learning has helped them increase their competitive edge through up to date knowledge.
- E-learning courses consume 90% less energy and create 85% fewer carbon emissions.
- Employees that have access to e-learning are more engaged and more productive – and they learn faster too.
Why use a professional voiceover artist for e-learning?
- A professionally trained voice over artist will make a huge difference to an e-learning course. Great instructional design deserves great audio quality and narration.
- Their voice will bring the course to life – and give it a human dimension.
- They will know how to pace the narration – not too quickly so that information is lost, and not so slowly that the learners are bored.
- They will also know how to emphasise key points to bring out important information with the tone of their voice – something that may be lost when just reading text on a page.
- They can make complicated subjects sound easy and keep learners engaged with a friendly and conversational tone, that is maintained throughout the programme. None of that is as easy as it sounds – it takes training and practice to do well!
- A professional voiceover artist will also be recording the narration in an acoustically treated space, so the audio quality will be good. There is nothing worse than listening to poorly recorded audio with lots of background noise for an extended period of time!
Why choose me to narrate your course?
I’ve been working as a voice over artist since 2013 and in that time I have narrated dozens of e-learning courses for many different sectors including hospitality, healthcare and medicine, technology and science, education, public transport, customer service, the charity sector, and more. I have worked with many instructional designers to bring their courses to life – including gamified learning and micro learning.
If you are looking for a female British voice over narrator, I am a good choice. My neutral UK accent and clear delivery make me the perfect voice for e-learning modules, as I am easy to understand – even when the learner’s first language isn’t English. I also have a very natural delivery style that keeps the learner engaged – even if the content is complicated, and perhaps not the most interesting topic!
