The Power of Voice: Why Short Videos Are Dominating LinkedIn in 2025
How 60-second clips are reshaping professional storytelling and how your voice can make them unforgettable.
The Rise of the 60-Second Story
LinkedIn, once dominated by résumés and long articles, has become a stage where short-form video reigns supreme.
As a full-time professional voice-over artist, I know how the right voice can transform even a 30 second clip into an unforgettable story.
Whether you’re a founder, marketer, creator or a job seeker, the rise of LinkedIn short videos is rewriting the rules of influence and visibility. The reason isn’t just shrinking attention spans. It’s authenticity. The tone and emotion in your voice are what make people stop, listen, and trust.
Why Short Form Video Wins on LinkedIn
Visual content now outperforms text-heavy posts
LinkedIn’s algorithm boosts native video, leading to longer dwell time and more shares
Voice, tone, and expression build credibility faster than text alone
Attention spans may be shorter, but curiosity is still alive and well
“Video content is 1,200% more likely to be shared than text and images combined.”

“Most professionals don’t talk about this…”Add 1–2 relevant hashtags (#Careers, #AI, #WorkLife, #Leadership)
End with a soft call-to-action: “What’s your take?” or “Ever felt this way?”
