Qualities Needed From Female And Male Voice Over Talents

By Christa Jarvis


There are certain similarities of voice overs and with acting. One is a subset of the other, but voice overs are meant for commercials or informative narration, or also in dialogues for films and shows that are omniscient in nature. Although, it is still considered a part of voice acting.

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.

Samples or demos are the portfolios of these artists. The producer or casting director should be able to listen to most of these tapes from each auditionee, and the auditionee should be able to provide them with the best they got. The personal encounter or interview would have quite a different atmosphere, so it is best to actually hear the goods before getting them.

Picking out the ones you want would be easy if they have given samples for different voices. This gives you a better knowledge on what they can do and what their limits are. This makes it easier for you to choose the one that you want for the project who can do the right type of voices for the role that you have in mind.

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.

At first, it would be really difficult to cast the best people in a project, but with these little factors in mind, it would be easier to pick them out from the rest of the individuals that are auditioning. The actors should also consider these factors as well, as it would help them with knowing what the casting director wants out from them. Being prepared is the best way to go at something.
