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.

When producing for a project, casting could be a really tasking phase especially when you need to have the most fitting voices for specific roles. That is why you need to consider some few qualities that should be common in every hiring process. They should have voices that you can be convinced the moment they start talking. It should not be too much, though.

These professionals are always making advances in their skills and techniques with experimenting in different pitches and tones. This is why the successful ones would tend to stand out a lot from the others because of that factor. You need to sift through the audition entries and look for that person who has an edge among the rest.

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.

Erratic pauses and stops during the flows of dialogue and conversations are normal when it comes to just normally talking with people. Although it is different with actors since they need to have that perfect flow of talking without any distracting pauses. But this is not the case when the role needs to have this, or when it is necessary.

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.

It is quite difficult to get the right people to do the job or the roles for your project. But if you consider all of these certain qualities, it would make the hiring process a lot easier. And this also gives the artist some perspective on the casting director on what they could want out from them as well.
