Five steps to consider while choosing a voice over service


The growth of forums for the availability of content has led to the rise in the use of visuals and videos by companies. This has inherently increases the demand for voice over services too. The abundance of it availability and the lack of information regarding the same has created some confusion about these services in general. If you are seeking these services and find yourself in a similar dilemma, it is not something to worry about. We have laid down a simple five step process for you to follow and reach the voice over services that works perfectly for you. They are as follows:

Step 1: Establish your requirements- Before you demand from someone a delivery of a work, you have to know what you want. This is why, you need to have a clear vision of the project and even if you have not zeroed down on it and are planning to see it as it comes along, you need to have some perspective for the same. You would have some work ethics or code of conduct that you would want to be followed. Be it quick responses to emails or matching the availability of the artist with the time frame that you have in mind, these are the basic questions to be discussed. Having the ground rules laid out will make the further process easier for you and for the other party.

Step 2: Find the voice-over artists- You may be at a complete loss for where to begin with and the selection itself might be an intimidating process. In the present day and age, there is no better guide than the internet and a cursory search can land you at the correct place. There are many organisations and agencies that specialise in providing these services and have a bunch of artists that they work with and are also in touch with. Check the reviews for some of them and contact the one that you find suitable. They will bring many voices to your door and you can begin your selection from here. These agencies also have an advisory role and can guide you through it.

Step 3: Rely on demos- The websites of these organisations and agencies will have demonstration clips of their artists and you can listen to them and review them. They are like a portfolio and can be relied upon. If these are not available on the website, the agencies will surely provide you with it before asking you to make a choice. It is a pretty fair reflection of their talent and calibre.
Step 4: Custom auditions- If you want to get a better idea of what the artists can do with your video, it is essential that you ask for a custom audition. Many artists prefer this method of scrutiny better. You can send in your script and ask the artists to send a small auditions clip. This will give you a better sense of who works for you the best and nail your selection. The review of a demo is generally a preliminary to these auditions.

Step 5: Get on the same page- After the selection of the artists is complete, there are many other details that need to be finalised. This includes the price (if it has not been discussed before), the date of recording, the format of recording or any other specification that you might have in mind. If you have envisioned the recording in some way and have to contribute creatively to the process, get it touch with the artist and explain what you are looking for. Such discussions will make your project more suitable to your liking and will also make it easier for the artist.
