What style of voice do I need for my project?
Think about what kind of sound fits your project. Is it a commercial that needs a friendly tone? Or maybe a serious documentary that requires a deep, calm voice? Identifying the right style ensures the voice over artist matches your vision.
How many voice samples should I listen to?
Listen to at least 3-5 samples from different artists. This gives you a variety of sound qualities and styles to compare. Listening helps you choose an artist with the right voice for your project.
What is the expected timeline for the project?
Plan when you need the project completed. Make sure the artist can deliver in time. Clear timelines help avoid delays in the project.
Are there specific technical requirements I should be aware of?
Check if the project requires a specific audio format. Some projects might need high-quality WAV files, while others can use MP3. Knowing this ensures you request the correct files from the artist.
How should I provide the script to the artist?
Ensure the script is clear and finalized before sending it. Providing a clean script with notes on pronunciation or emotions helps the artist perform better. This clarity leads to a more accurate voice over.
Do I need a demo recording before the full project?
A demo can help you ensure the artist’s style fits. You can listen and make adjustments before the final recording. Demos help avoid surprises later.
What feedback is helpful for improving the project?
Give specific and constructive feedback. Point out parts you love and areas needing changes. This guides the artist to match your vision closely.
Should I include background music or effects?
