When booking an Awards Show announcer there are a few things to consider:
Among those, will the Voice of God be live in-person or pre-recorded?
Pre-recorded is perfectly fine and often suited to a tighter budget or simpler occasion, and many artists will happily offer that service. However, there’s quite a difference between the two. For starters, as a performer there’s no comparison between sitting alone in a home studio versus the added pressure of a live audience. Let’s just say, performing in front of 500 strangers isn’t for everyone.
There are no second takes, no “can I go again?” and no “oh I’ll just edit that bit”. Many voices are also able to perform the former but the latter’s a different game altogether.
