A lot of thought goes into the "right" voice for every advertisement. Certainly the tone and timbre timber of a voice are two things that can help sell the product or service. But, probably the most important question every marketer must answer is, should the voice be male or female? It really depends on the tone the ad is attempting to convey. 48% of Americans believe a male voice is more forceful while 46% believe a female voice is more soothing, so those may be easy choices for a marketing executive to make. However, almost half of U.S. adults also say it makes no difference to them and neither voice is more forceful (49%) or more soothing (46%), according to a new study by Adweek Media.
