Considerations In Hiring 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.

Voice acting is considered as the characters having dialogues and are no longer omniscient or partially omniscient in nature. These are mainly used for radio dramas, shows, films, etc. Dubbing has a different procedure as well since it is voicing what is already made. Female and male voice over talents can do various characters.

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.

The individuals are practicing their craft regularly, so of course they deal with varying their tones and pitches when they talk. This gives them the ability to do greater things and you should catch that aspect in them when they audition. Take time to pick them out one by one on what makes them stand out.

It is also a responsibility of the auditionees to give out sample tapes of their acting and overs. And you should listen to them one by one as well so that you would know what kind of talent and style they have. There is a bit of chance that the personal interview would be entirely different from how they sound when recorded and when performing.

Picking them out would be easy if they have provided with a lot of varying roles for different types of voices. This would only show how good they are and that they are quite flexible on what you want them to do for the project. This is why it makes it easier for you to choose those individuals who have made samples for a varying degree.

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.

The stuff that has been mentioned so far are just a preview of what the artist can do. What they should need to do correctly is to endure the whole process for the project. They have to have a lot of endurance and consistency with their craft without faltering or fluctuating on their performance levels.

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.
