| Hiring Voice Talent? Consider These Points First... |

A good voice over professional can really improve an audio project, whether you are dealing with an audio book, a corporate video, a radio commercial, or any other kind of project in which you want people to listen to a message. But how can you know when you are listening to a good voice-over artist? There are several things you should consider, of course, if you have the money and the time and the knowledge to consider them. However, since time is often short and you may not have the resources to do a nationwide search and take all the time you need to decide, remembering a few basic things can help you make the best decision for your project.
Your audience is very important. When it comes to hiring a voice-over artist, you have to consider more than which voice you find most personally appealing. You have to think about what your audience will respond to – and what they will find believable. If you think you can sell more radiator-fluid by letting your clients hear a playful female voice, then that is the person you should choose. Perhaps all the other radiator fluid merchants are using guys who sound like mechanics and you think this will help your store stand out. However, if you think they are more likely to listen to a guy who sounds like a mechanic, then use that one.
Make sure they have your best interest at heart. This isn't as goofy as it sounds. As wonderful at what they do as some of them may be, they are probably doing it for money. They aren't talking to you because they think you're going to save the world from fluidless radiators and they think that is a good cause: They are doing it to get paid. However, they should be concerned about the quality of the product they are selling you. Therefore, they should be able to listen to you and make sure they know what you want before they do the work. If you are interviewing an actor and he or she doesn't seem to care what you're trying to say, then no matter how good a fit for your product the voice is, they won't give your needs much consideration.
They should understand the importance of timing. Many voice professionals get by on a pleasant-sounding voice. For some projects, this may be all it takes. But if your project needs dramatic pauses, inflection and emotion, then take care that the professional you're considering has that sort of range. The way you do that, of course, is two-fold. To start with, you have to conduct auditions. Take them through situations that are similar to the ones you are going to require. The second part of that, naturally, is for you to know your own project well enough to comprehend what you require from them. Don't expect that he or she will instinctively know what you need. After all, every project has different requirements.
Your project needs the best treatment that you can possibly give it. If you have set aside the cash to hire voice talent, then make sure you set aside the time to make sure you're getting the right one for the project. After all, voice actors are not created equal. Some are better, and some are better for your project.
