I recently completed a Voice of God (VOG) project for an organization whose mission I genuinely believe in. For those outside the voiceover world, “Voice of God” refers to the announcer voice often heard at live events, award shows, conferences, ceremonies, and productions — the voice that welcomes the audience, introduces speakers, and helps guide the experience from behind the scenes.
