Tell Alexa "Open Christian Rosselli's Voice"

Have an Alexa? You're one of the 8.2 million people who chat with her daily

As voice casting moves into the next phase of digital development, I'm excited to explore possibilities that connect me to voice seekers in new and ever-personal ways. The more we're isolated from each other, the more interested I'm becoming in how to actively engage with people, and putting my voice into an Alexa-based format definitely makes sense.

Say "Open Christian Rosselli's Voice"

Showing off my voiceover skills using a voice-first platform? Yes please!

What is a voice site?

Check out the "Just Ask Alexa" prompt on my site homepage. Go ahead - click to activate your Alexa-enabled device to play my voice, or just tell Alexa to "Open Christian Rosselli's Voice." You can interact with me and ask questions about my career, studio, rates and more. Get quick and easy access to my demos, and start the booking process, all from your Alexa Show, Echo, Dot, or any enabled device!

How do I use it?

I'm using my voice site as an interactive supplement to my website, a marketing tool, and a demo delivery option. My main quicklink goes out in my email signature, and have added other audio-enabled links to my marketing as well. I've got quicklinks that land people directly on my individual demos too - great for sending to interested clients or for casting. My voice site sends people my demos upon request or connects them directly to me for booking and quotes, and I can easily update its content for special events & occasions or shifts in market trends. As our digital world evolves using voice-first technology, I'll keep changing my site to reflect the trends & concepts people are looking for.

Want one of your own?

The Robot Voice Takeover

Sonic Branding is the future

Now more than ever, buyers are looking for voices that truly communicate their vision. Jim Kennelly of Lotas Productions shares his thoughts on the future of voice over in this Forbes article. As voice actors, we've all been curious about what may happen to our voices 10 years from now - even 5 years. It's that nagging thought that both piques curiosity and stokes a little fear & uncertainty (not gonna lie).

Jim says:

As more and more consumers look to technology as a way to engage with brands, brands should look to voice as a powerful touch point with immense potential to help them stand out amid growing competition.

Lotas has its finger on the pulse of technological advancements in the voice over industry and has been a guiding force in career development for many voice actors and strengthening relationships with brands. Reach out to the Lotas team for more stellar work integrating voice actors with approaching technology.
