Live Events Announcements (‘Voice of God’ aka VOG)

These are the announcements made at an event (maybe a conference, ball or theatre), signposting what the delegates, guests or audience need to know or need to do. The voice-over is often not on the main stage, but disembodied, that is, never seen and ‘behind the scenes’ and from a loudspeaker in the ceiling, hence the name ‘Voice of God’.

Announcements may be along the lines of: “Welcome to this year’s International Award Ceremony. Please take your seats for the event starting in five minutes”, then “here are the nominees for Voice Of The Year…” and “And here is tonight’s entertainment, star of everybody’s favourite comedy show Dewayne Devatto”. You may also give out information such as safety announcements, when the next workshop or conference session is starting, where the fire escapes are… you get the idea.
