How to Outline Your Voice Over Job Posting

How you define and specify what you are looking for in a voice actor plays a crucial role in determining whether the voice actor feels they are fit for that role or not. Your job title should be well-defined, engaging, and relevant. Your job description should normally communicate a specific skill set, what it is all about, and the duration of the final product. For example, a “Berber 5 minute Explainer Video for Banking Software”. Specifying the nature of a voice actor you want, will enable you to attract only those who are fit for the job. Also, your voice over job description will depend on their usage categories, such as Broadcast and Non-Broadcast. Broadcast job usage categories include radio, internet ads, television, while Non-Broadcast include animation, business, audiobooks, educational, documentaries, movie trailers, internet video, telephone, podcasting, video game, voice assistant.

Before posting a job, it is significant to have knowledge of how the voiceover will be utilized in your project so that the voice you choose will guide listeners.

Types of Voice Over and Pricing

The mode of usage of a voice over and the number of people a message will reach impact the cost of production. The wider the audience, the higher the cost. A cost for a voice over produced for broadcast purposes will take into account factors such as the size of the market; for either local, regional, national or international listenership. The amount of work, effort and the amount of time is required to record a voice over will ultimately impact the cost. The higher the word count, the more the work that is required in narrating and editing the audio. 

For Non-Broadcast voice over, work narrating and editing is always lower than that of standard broadcast as the expected audience is always lower. That reduced audience mirrors the price of hiring a voice actor to narrate your content.

However, whether broadcast or non-broadcast voice over, providing clear instructions on how you want your recording to sound and give life to your script gives a voice actor a guide on how to approach the content for the perfect vocal delivery. This is known as giving artistic direction, and it’s an important aspect of the hiring process if you want to get what you are looking for. Several questions can give you a bearing on how to go about it. You can give answers to the following questions to give your artistic direction:

• Who is the character?
• Who are they talking to?
• What are they talking about?
• When will the message be perceived? Is it time-sensitive?
• Where is the audience/where will this message be perceived?
• Why is this message vital?
• How can I best communicate significant features of the brand?

The answers to the above questions will solely depend on the types of services or products you are offering. This is how an answer to those questions could translate into the artistic direction for a baby-products company. “The character is a young woman speaking to parents who are in search of safe, reliable, and affordable baby skin products. She wants the parents to know the availability of a new baby skin protection product in the market. This voice over message will communicate throughout the week when parents are home for holidays. Lastly, the message intends to inform parents about a new product they can try on their baby’s skin to prevent baby skin from drying or cracking. As such, we are in need of a middle-aged voice that is persuasive, authentic, and friendly in order to communicate that the new product is new, reliable, and affordable for their babies”.

Selecting Language and Dialect for Your Voice Over

Producing a voice over in a language your target audience communicates shapes how your message will be disseminated. Therefore, it will be thoughtful to look for a voice actor who can natively and fluently speak the language – for instance, looking for a Berber voice artist to do a commercial voice over for your company. Specifying the type of dialect you are looking for puts you in a better position to find a native speaker of that dialect and who can best communicate to your audience.

A Good Voice Over

Ensuring your voice over content targets a particular audience is the key to its success, so that audience understands in their local language and culture what you are trying to convey in a way that relates to them.
