Qualities of JanesonX Xhosa Voice-Over Artists

At JanesonX Agency, we take pride in producing the best and top-rated male and female voiceover artists who provide the services you need. There are certain professional requirements that our voice-over artists must meet so that we ensure they offer you the best services that will match your project’s requirements. These qualities are;

• Flexibility; A voice actor both male or female should have the ability to change their tone and fit a given line of vocals. For instance, change their tone to play an audiobook or do an advert. Having voice actors who can speak with different accents is ideal, it adds to their versatility which makes them available for several different jobs. 
• Convincing Performance; To deliver appropriate performance, a voice artist has to maintain a good connection to the content of the text. Therefore, we make sure we have male and female voice actors who speak in an aptly conversational manner, with appropriate energy, intensity, and authority to maintain the coherence of performance. They also have the ability to scan ahead text and prepare the next lines to ensure the performance has a clear flow, a technique that helps them work effectively. It allows voice-over artists to be quick, packing a lot of words into a minimal time without compromising the clarity of the project. It also makes one flexible and versatile.
•  Enthusiasm; We work with voice-over artists who are motivated and energetic in their performance and are ready to provide the best of their best. These are the fundamentals of quality voice-over performance that we work with. Our voice-over professionals also have a solid work ethic and focus, which are great bonuses for everyone involved with our services.
• A Sense of Play; The ability to switch off from the outside world into an imaginary world to give life to words while sustaining interests in the listener is a necessary skill required by a voice-over artist. We work with great voice-over artists who know instinctively when to turn up the intensity, personality, or emotion to offer you wide-ranging performances you want.
• Work Ethic; Voice-over artists must have the ability to maintain work ethics that helps them build their skills, network, and offer professional services to their clients. They must possess a high level of discipline that will help them produce great results in their line of duty.  At JanesonX, we choose our voice-over artists carefully so they add just what is needed for every project.  
• Confidence: Confidence is a state of mind, helps you to think clearer and perform better. This is enhanced by good practice and training that gives you experience and positive feedback. Knowing where to focus your efforts and talent is the first step in gaining the skills you need to become a successful voice-over artist. Now it is up to you to put the work towards your potential and be the best voice talent you can be. When you are just starting, you can develop confidence by doing proper practice, training, and believing in your potential.
• Resilience; Resilience is another quality of a voice over artist as it is a great step to become successful by taking lessons from failure and maintaining your focus in reaching your goals. If you take up challenges and work towards solving them and take that as a natural part of your career plan, you are more likely to keep going even if the going gets tough. 
• Excellent Pacing; Pacing and timing are vocal qualities that should be possessed by a voice actor to deliver a good performance. Whether voicing a commercial or narrating a video, they should keep in mind the time limit given. If for instance, a voice actor has 20 seconds to produce an ad liner, he or she should stick to the given limit of time. The mistake done by some voice-over actors is sound rushing whereby they start by talking slower at the beginning of their performance and start running out of time towards the end of the performance.
