An authentic, conversational voice talent is key to reaching voters and cutting through the noise. Maria is passionate about progressive political issues and eager to drive change in our world.

There was a healthy voter turnout in the 2020 federal election. However, the United States still boasts a lower voter involvement than many other countries in the developed world. With every nail-biting election that passes by, it’s important to help Americans understand the power of their vote. 

Fortunately, the friendly and trustworthy voice stylings of Maria Pendolino are an influential way to convince hesitant voters to get out to the polls. With a casual tone that sounds as if a friend is talking to you, Maria comes off as confident and persuasive—everything you want in a political spot.

Interestingly, a 2016 study on the effects of negative and positive political candidate ads showed positive ad campaigns to be more effective than negative ones. But it came with one caveat: for the positive ads to be more persuasive, they had to outnumber the negative ones.

Another interesting finding from the study was that these positive ads can be most influential in areas where the advertised candidate is winning or trailing by a large margin. While it may be tempting to avoid advertising in areas your candidate is unlikely to win in, focusing on this area would actually be the most strategic thing to do.

Maria Pendolino is proud to lend her voice to the hardworking progressive candidates passionate about bringing positive change to their communities.

If you’re working on a political campaign, chances are that you have a long list of other priorities to focus on. When you work with a professional freelance voiceover artist, you don’t need to worry about booking time in an expensive on-site studio. Instead, all you need to do is send in a request for the voiceover work that you need to be completed. The professional voiceover actor will take care of the rest. And you can direct me via phone or video call if you’d like. 

Maria Pendolino operates her own professional recording studio in her Buffalo home. From here, she can deliver broadcast-quality recordings with a speedy turnaround. 

Listen to Maria’s demos to determine if her voice is the right fit for your project. Or, if you prefer to hear what Maria’s voiceover would sound like on your particular script, you can request a live audition.
