What Happens When an Environmental Organization Meets Voice Over for the Planet?

When an environmental nonprofit partners with a purpose-driven voice over collective like ours, powerful storytelling comes to life. Voice Over for the Planet had the privilege of collaborating with the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) on a fundraising video showcased at their 2025 gala—and the results were truly inspiring.

This project highlights how professional voice over can elevate nonprofit messaging, connect emotionally with audiences, and help organizations reach their fundraising goals. At Voice Over for the Planet, we’re passionate about using voice over as a tool for positive environmental impact, and this collaboration was a perfect example of that mission in action.

Making Professional Voice Over Accessible Through Buy One, Give One

Through our Buy One, Give One initiative, every paid voice over project funds a pro-bono voice over of equal scope for an environmental organization or nonprofit. This model allowed CCMI to receive high-quality, professional voice over services without worrying about budget limitations.

By removing that barrier, CCMI was able to focus fully on telling their story—sharing the urgency of their work, the hope behind their research, and the importance of donor support. The collaboration helped amplify their message, reach new supporters, and raise critical funds to continue developing solutions that heal the ocean.

Central Caribbean Marine Institute: Dedicated to Ocean Conservation

The Central Caribbean Marine Institute is committed to protecting and restoring coral reef ecosystems across the Caribbean. With a long-term vision centered on healthy, resilient oceans, CCMI has spent more than 25 years advancing marine conservation through scientific research, education, and community engagement.

Their work addresses major threats such as climate change, coral bleaching, and ecosystem degradation. By translating science into action, CCMI helps inform conservation strategies while inspiring individuals and communities to care for marine environments now and into the future.

“We raised the most we have ever raised since we started in 1998.”
— Abbie Dosell, Head of Fundraising & Engagement, CCMI

Lale Inceoglu’s Voice Over Performance: Grounded and Compassionate

CCMI was invited to choose the narrator for their video from the Voice Over for the Planet roster and selected Lale Inceoglu for her expressive, versatile voice over style. Her performance balanced warmth, credibility, and urgency—an ideal match for CCMI’s message.

Lale’s voice over brought clarity to complex environmental topics while remaining accessible and emotionally engaging. Her narration helped inform potential supporters and encouraged them to take meaningful action, proving how impactful the right voice over can be when paired with a strong mission.
