Guides In Looking For A Professional Voice Talent

By Shirley Green


There are people who have a great speaking voice or can change it to copy characters and even make their own. This talent can be put to use to earn extra money or even make it as main source of income. It only needs some practice and training for it to be fully developed so that it would have versatility and better quality.

Although there is no formal training required to make this your profession, there is an advantage of taking voice acting lessons to better control it. This is important because professional voice talent people are there to help sell products and put life to animated characters in movies or shows. That is why it is advantageous to have some training for versatility and learning to pay attention to details.

These are some guides in looking for a professional talent needed in the project you currently are producing. Search in your area for those offering their service using the internet and its results will usually show websites showcasing top artists or those from talent agencies. There are a selection of artists shown where you can choose one for your needs.

Ask for recommendations from friends and family members of someone they know who does this kind of work. They would tell you the reasons why they recommended them to you and how did they know about them. Search for them in the internet and see if they could be found easily which is a good sign that they have the confidence to market themselves.

The online pages about them would provide you with every necessary information about them before you even meet them. This includes all the companies and projects they were able to be a part of and their training and educational backgrounds. Some even have demos available for listening their voice for you to check out.

The information you gathered must be used in narrowing the selection down which depends on the kind of voice needed for this project. Schedule an interview by contacting them so you could ask other questions and make them read some samples. Their professionalism can be observed here as well by how they answer the questions you asked.

You can then try their vocal abilities during the interview and how varied their styles are and if they are the right fit for you. This is also the time to let them read the script and observe if they can deliver it the way you want it to. They may even have some suggestions on interesting ways in interpreting the script which might be better.

Request for references to know how it is like working with them from their previous employers. By talking to them, you would know if the talent is able to give it their best during their previous projects and work professionally. Review some of their work and demos to get a better feel of their voice.

Ask about their professional fee and which is preferable for them, either being paid per hour of work or another. This would usually depend on what the work is like. Being informed of these things would better help you look for the one.
