By Claudine Hodges


Different industries in the fields of entertainment, media and businesses are in need of voice actors. Not only do these talents provide life to the rather static message that advertisers or marketers have in their ads. Voices give out authority and credibility to the message itself.

If the search for these talent was difficult before, now, all you have to do is to type in some words in the search engine and related posts will soon be displayed. It is no wonder then why female voice over talents are starting to advertise their skill online. It gives them the opportunity to reach more clients across different industries.

Many female talents online are really good. But not everyone fits your project well. In order to make sure that you are dealing with the right person, you will have to check some basic factors. We have listed them down below as a guide. Take a peek and start your search.

Nature of your project. You know best about the concept that your project has. Therefore, you have all the information you need about it. Evaluate what type of voice is fitted for your message and find it. It may take time before you find the fit. There are many potentials out there. List them down if you have to and save them for final selection.

Second, you need to look at the voice quality of the talent. The easiest to do this is to listen to samples online. Several websites have provided the basic information of the persons including audio clips for clients to listen. Utilize these material as part of the criteria for your selection. If you need more, you can always contact them and ask for more samples.

Third, look at the pricing. Prices would vary depending on the credentials of the talent and the amount of work that you need from her. Ideally, online ads will give you an average price for the service. However, if you do not see any, feel free to contact the person and discuss your work. Be clear on the nature of the task that you want him done. It is also better if you do canvassing in order to know which one offers a more affordable rate with the same quality of work.

Credentials. This is an important factor for it tells you how long and how in demand the talent is in the industry. If she has worked for some prominent companies for instance, it would say something about her level of skills. This will also serve as a justification for the price that she is asking you. You can even ask the companies directly to provide feedbacks about the performance of the talent.

Fifth, consider the versatility. This refers to how well she is in flexing her voice. There are many people who are gifted with good voice. But not all of them have the ability to perform several more. Your choice should be able to convey emotions through her vocals. Even if your project only requires one tone, it is to your advantage if she has the ability to do some more.

Do not underestimate what voice can do to your project. Many works attribute their success to excellent voicing. If you believe that you have a strong message to deliver, strengthen it even more by choosing the right female talent on board.
