Hiring Requirements For Female And Male Voice Over Talents

By Christa Jarvis


Voice over is quite different with acting although relatively the same nature but different usage. When it comes to doings overs, they are usually omniscient dialogues from a narrator thrown over marketing advertisements, films, and shows. This is still a part of voice acting but has a different use.

Doing voice acting is for mostly characters that has dialogues and could partially be omniscient. Most of the time this is being made in dramas in radio and television which are mostly either three dimensional or two dimensional animations. Dubbing is a different thing, the process is like for voicing in other languages where the material is already made prior to voicing. Female and also male voice over talents have the ability to do any of these.

As a producer, you would want the best and most fitting talent for your project. That is why there are a couple of qualities you need to checklist in hiring one. A believable vocal quality could go a long way. They should not go over the top as with the same with newscasters and announcers.

Talents are always practicing and experimenting many various kinds of tone and pitch. Therefore, you need to get the right one which they would stand apart from the rest of the ones that auditioned. You need to take time on this part by listening to what sort of aspect that pushes them above the rest.

Acquire their high quality demo tapes. This would help you in getting the gist of their skills and talent from these actors and actresses. There is a huge tendency that the face to face interviews with them would be entirely contrasting with how they actually perform. These tapes will help you make the decision faster.

You can easily pick out a skillful and experienced talent when they can do a range of roles and do great with them. This is already a sign that they have the necessary skills to take in almost any role in their range. This is why it is best if their portfolio consists of a range of personalities of characters which shows their versatility.

In regular conversations, people most of the time have unnecessary and erratic pauses and transitions between words that throws off the other person sometimes when they are listening to them. The actor should be able to have a nice flow in their dialogues and acting. The speaking should be fluid unless deemed necessary for a role.

What has been said before are all just basic qualities that an artist would need to have. Knowing if they have prior experience on working on other projects would have a say on their consistency, endurance, and attitude towards the whole process of the project. This is one big factor when it comes to actually working with them.

As a producer or interviewer, it is going to be entirely difficult to get the right people. As an actor, take all of these into consideration and have them refined with each and every audition and interview that you get. Being prepared with samples would also help the producer decide if you are the one they are looking for in their projects.
