Describing A Voice Over Requirements

Voice over artists rely on the details and explanation of your project inside the job description field of your job posting to analyze whether they are a good fit for the task. At Janeson, our professional voice over artists seek to know more details about your job posting. In order to bring your vision to fruition, go into detail as much as possible. Give information about the following;

1. Outline specific technical requirements, such as necessary to have a particular piece of equipment to complete the task.
2. Specify when you want the job done, for example, within 6 hours.
3. Acknowledge where your recording will be directed, e.g., via Skype. Make it clear so that the voice actor will reply if they have those specific qualifications.
4. Make it known if you want the voice actor to come to your studio. Your preference will help to ensure only those who can avail themselves for the recording.
5. Offer more information about the nature of your project and motives.
6. Specify on voice over age preference. For instance, the voice over is about a toy store, the target audience is young parents, and therefore your main voice actor will be those who are almost the same age. 
7. Which gender you prefer your message to be delivered by and how, either by male or female. For example, in movie trailers, male voice actors are preferred, while unique talents of a female voice are preferred when casting children’s roles. It is sometimes better to audition both male and female voices so that you are sure who you would like to work with.

Crafting a detailed brief of your expectations enables you to create a voice over job posting with confidence and make a healthy decision when listening to auditions and selecting the best voice actor for your project.

A voice actor who is better in intuiting and owning your written script and making it come to life should be the best candidate for your voice-over job. However, there are 3 main criteria that can guide you to choose the right voice. They include;

• The voice actor’s interpretation of your job description and expectations

Great voice-over is associated with voice over artists who can create custom auditions that show clearly how their talent is the right one for your specific project. Also, the voice actor should have a good interpretation of your requirements. Having a better voice-over job description can be interpreted if the artist;

• Has clear articulation
• Has a sense of smooth flow and phrasing
• His or her read is exceptional compared to other auditions
• Has the best vocal delivery of the message

• The vocal qualities to match your job description

Ensure the voice you are about to select is in-line with your job description and clearly fits the outlined specifications. Audio specifications can include;

• Gender preference, male or a female voice
• Accent and language requirements
• The required age of the voice, young, middle-age
• Your project’s targets audience
• Creativity capabilities
• Outstanding voice

• The quality of the audio

The sound of a voice actor used in an audition can determine if they have recording capabilities and if they are worth hurting as a reliable option. Regardless of whether your requirement is to complete mastering and editing, quality is important to consider. High-quality files make the process easier and smoother. Evaluate the following audio elements;

• Does the voice has mouth interruptions such as lip-smacking
• Is the voice over recording natural in nature
• Is there any background noise that is making the voice not to be heard clearly
• Does the recording sound lively
• Will there be a need for a post-production process

After auditions are submitted, now it is your task to select the best fit candidate for your voice over. When listening, be sure to be guided by: vocal qualities, the audio quality, and the voice actors interpretation of the job description. When you are done going through all the sent auditions, it’s time to make a decision on who will be the best fit candidate for your voice over. Based on the audition, the audio you select should be the one you`re comfortable working with, confident and trusting the voice actors capabilities.
