In a world where horrible movies run rampant one hero can make them sound great it's (insert b-list actor) in the voice over artist. i know it is a bit cliche but it is very much true that a good voice over can make a movie trailer sound way better than it actually is. i know i've walked into a movie or two that i thought would be great because of the trailer and it turned out to be horrible. There have been studies in relation to speech tone and memory where certain voice types last longer in memory than others films take advantage of these voice's so that audiences will remember their trailers longer than others. A good voice over with the right music can make the thought of the movie stay with you for days like one really annoying song. Sound can trigger certain emotions also so with the right voice over artist feelings of excitement, joy, sadness,fear,etc. can be created depending on what genre of movie the emotion suits best. in fact being a voice over artist is a hard profession because even though there are hundred to thousands of people who get into it only- about 5 people are making serious amounts of money from it

below is a few examples of movie trailer voiceovers

    haha this is great. its so true though- the tone sets the mood. voice has such a large impact on the way you can feel its crazy. morgan freeman, for example, has a voice thats known by nearly everyone. he is the epitome of the "golden voice" thats respected immensely. when morgan freeman talks, people listen, which is why he hosts or speaks at many events and has really phenomenal roles in certain movies

    Definitely interesting. And something that you don't really think about - except maybe in the times you hear an extremely recognizable actor on TV. A guy who actually did most of the movie voiceovers for the past couple decades passed away last year I believe and I remember thinking that I had never really realized the impact that he had on the masses.
