Things To Consider When Looking For Male Voice Over Talents

By Claudine Hodges


The best ads we see now in television are not just successful because of the concept. True, animation and concept play a great role in terms of making them appealing to the viewers. But that is not all. The way on how the message is delivered through voice overs matters a lot.

This is the reason why companies hire specific personalities to handle some of their promotional materials. Top quality male voice over talents have what it takes to deliver the desired message the producer wants for the ad. If you search online, more and more sites are offering samples of them for companies to choose from.

You need to take note though that this industry is in demand. And there are more and more amateurs and professionals alike who are advertising their own works online. It is important that you screen them well before giving them the go signal to be on your project. Below are the top considerations you can take into account during the selection process.

First, consider how you want your message to sound. Talented talents will know what to do when you give them the instructions. But if you yourself do not have a clear viewpoint about your message, then this could be difficult. Prior to hiring, be sure to know about this area.

Credentials of the talent. Of course, you will need to check the background of your choice. If he can provide you with a sample of his past project, then better. This will give you an overview of his exposure to the job and how effective his voice is.

Three, consider the price. Of course, you want to have the best deal that is available in the market. However, you cannot get this unless you view all of your options. Keep in mind that other companies might be looking for the same service that you are hunting down right now. They will soon be knocking on the doorsteps of the best talent. Make an effort to do your own searching.

Versatility of the talent. A good talent is not only capable of voicing a single tone. He should be able to deliver messages with different tones reflective of its emotions. You can gauge the versatility of the person by asking samples of how he delivers a spiel in three or more different ways. May it be the funny way or the serious way, he should be able to do it.

Enthusiasm of the talent. You will know when a voice actor has real interest on the job by the amount of enthusiasm he shows during the initial selection and even on your interview. Depending on the type of project you want to have, you may have to make him work for hours. He should have the energy and stamina to withstand long hours of work.

List down the other characteristics that you are looking for a talent. Be as specific as possible. If you are looking for a long term work partnership, then all the more reason to invest time on choosing the right one. The effectiveness of your video is only as good as how the message is delivered.
