Have you ever clicked on a fascinating video or a promising advertisement, only to be immediately put off by the voice? You know the one. It’s a cold, slightly disjointed, robotic voice that reads the script with all the personality of a GPS navigator giving directions. The moment you hear it, a wall goes up. The connection is broken. The trust evaporates. You’re no longer listening to a story or a message; you’re being read to by a machine, and it feels hollow.
