Professional Voice Over: Choosing The Right Voice Over Talent For Your Project

Professional voice over work is very sought after in today’s world. With so much of our news and content being consumed via video and audio, it’s important for organisations to utilise these formats to deliver messages about their brand and identity. A huge part of the success of any message you send to potential clients, customers, or supporters via these formats is the person who speaks your words. Voice over services often provide the talent for such projects. But how do you decide on the type of company or voice over artist for your project?

Choosing Your Voice Over Artist

The main thing that matters in selecting the right voice over is whether or not it fits with your material and your brand. This is something that professional voice over services are able to cater for and the best voice actors are able to adapt to any situation. Any voice artist that you chose must sound like an expert – even when they know little or nothing about the subject matter. They must understand the mood and capture the right emotions that suit the message you are trying to send to your audience. In order to do that, it’s likely that you’re going to have to listen to a lot of voice samples from a variety of professional voice over talent. That’s a lot of work. But just as with CVs, it is important to choose the things that matter most in these voice samples. By doing so, you can cut down the work in trying to select the right voice for the job. One such method is listening to the sound quality of the demos. Is the sound good? Is the voice over clear? If not, look elsewhere. Another method is to listen past the words they are saying and listen to the rhythm of the voice. Does their voice flow? Or is it stilted? Prior professional voice over experience is also important. Look at the people they have worked with – do you recognise the brands or the companies? If not, then there’s no shortage of talent who have been trusted to voice big brands.

But Do I Really Need A Voice Over Video For My Project?

When it comes to requiring an audio voice over, we tend to almost always think of hiring a professional. As the person’s voice is the only thing that is communicating your message, the quality of that voice matters. However, when the project relates to video, some people think that the voice over becomes less important than the visuals and, as such, time and money can be saved by using their own voices. But that’s a big mistake. No matter how flashy your video appears to viewers, they may end up completely distracted by the ‘off’ voice over. While you may have a great voice, you likely don’t have the experience or knowledge to know how to put together a good voice package. Voice over artists spend hundreds and thousands of hours recording voice for video – videos that are likely to be similar to your project. This experience is invaluable. Experienced voice actors also use professional audio equipment and approaches – ensuring that the voice over sounds flawless. Additionally, if you’re looking to create multiple videos, their consistent performance will give your brand a familiar voice that your audience can recognise and associate with your organisation or project. Lastly, voice actors offer you range and flexibility. They’re not just good at delivering lines in one way – they can deliver emotion, feeling, and authenticity. These are just some of the things that professional voice over video work can offer you over any other voice over efforts.
