The difference between corporate medical voiceover and other kinds of narration work in the medical field is the target audience. Corporate medical voiceover helps companies market products and services relating to healthcare products, devices, equipment, and services. The messages are further broken down into internal or external communications within the industry.
Internal Corporate Medical Communications
Internal medical communications are precisely that – internal. These types of corporate medical narrations deal with videos or memos geared towards employees and shareholders from the corporate level. These medical voiceovers are usually directed from an administrative vantage point and focus on presenting a message from within the hospital, pharmaceutical company, medical organization, or company.
External Corporate Medical Communications
External communications are a type of corporate medical narration that, opposed to internal communications, deal with the consumer from a corporate perspective and outwardly project their intended message to a target demographic – just like commercials or ads. In essence, they’re medical ads that speak from an administrative point of view, answer questions or concerns, and present a message about everything dealing with the company or organization on a corporate level.
