Do You Want to Be a Medical Voice Over Professional?

Physician NonClinical Careers with John Jurica

Michael P. Cyll is a cardiac sonographer working in the Phoenix area for over 30 years. As he approached retirement from that clinical career, he developed an interest in narration and voice-over work, specializing in narration in the science, technical and medical fields.

For the past year, he has been honing his voice-over skills and performing in a variety of freelance jobs, including audiobook narration, YouTube videos, and Zoom Theater productions.

This is a new job option that I thought you’d like to hear about. So I brought Mike on the podcast to see what Mike can tell us about getting into this field.

Based on our conversation, and listening to recordings by non-medical narrators, I believe that there is a need for voice-overs by knowledgeable clinicians. How many times have you heard a medication mispronounced on a radio or TV ad, or even in some type of educational video?

I think it would be great if we had nurses and physicians familiar with medical terminology doing some of those narrations.

Mike gave us a quick overview of his efforts to enter the field, and some pointers to get started. And I hope he inspired a few of you to start exploring this interesting field.

In addition to links to the resources Mike mentioned, I am including additional links that may benefit the listeners. Simply go to the show notes at nonclinicalphysicians.com/medical-voice-over to access those links.
