Finding The Right Female Multi Lingual Voice Talent

By Amanda Olson


When in need of a voice talent, there are certain success factors you must consider. However, with the advances in home computers and the software available, it is very easy for anyone to market themselves as a talented voiceover artist. Therefore, how do you weed through all the wannabe's and find one of the few, true, professional multi lingual voice talent? Read along for an in-depth and informative coverage.

There are several things you should consider, of course, if you have the money, the time and the knowledge to consider them. However, since time is often in short supply and you may not have the resources to accomplish a national search and use all the time you need to decide, keeping a few basic things in mind can help you hire the best person for your project.

To ensure that the provider you hire is capable of impacting your audience, you must find someone who can provide you with an accurate delivery of your script. No matter what kind of product or service you're trying to sell, the voiceover talent you hire must deliver the goods to promote it. Remember, the voiceover provider you selected will become the voice of your brand.

It's great to do market research about your target or niche audience when casting a voiceover provider. It is just as important to write a great script as it is to choose the perfect voiceover talent. You must remember that you need to speak directly to your target audience when you are drafting the script, then find a provider that fits that profile.

An experienced and reputable provider will understand your script and talk directly to your audience. They should be able to visualize the people they are 'talking to' and address them directly and with heartfelt sincerity. The ability to change their vocal quality to match the tone of the copy is critical for such an expert.

They should understand the importance of timing. Many voiceover actors get by on a pleasant-sounding voice. For some projects, this may be all it takes. But if your project needs dramatic pauses, inflexion and emotion, then take care that the professional you're looking at has that sort of training. The way you accomplish that, of course, is two-fold.

Since we all have to work within budget constraints, the cost to produce your audio is important. Note that I said cost, not price. Anyone can give out a low price then nickel and dime you higher as they get deeper into the project, driving the cost of the project higher and potentially beyond your budget. True cost saving comes from working with a professional who can give you an accurate price up front because they understand what is involved to produce your audio product.

Discuss what type of audio equipment they have and determine if it is professional quality. Find out if the final product will be edited for quality which will save you time and money on the back end of your project. Check out on the above factors whenever you are in need of such services.
