How To Choose Male Voice Over Talents

By Lila Bryant


The voice is a potentially powerful tool. It can help people engage with potentially complex issues, get children listening to stories and make sure that you get the right exit while driving with a satellite navigation system. In order to get the right effect sometimes you may specifically need a male voice and in this instance you need to choose the appropriate male voice over talents to suit your project.

Voice overs can cover a lot of different productions. This could include voicing animated characters, narrating audio books or providing information for satellite navigation systems. Each of these projects will require a different type of voice so it is important to be aware of this.

Before contacting independent artists or agencies you need to consider what kind of vocal tone would be appropriate to your particular project. For example if you are promoting the latest animated series you might want someone with a deep voice who can command the attention of the listener or alternatively someone hyped up who sweeps up the listener with their passion for what is about to come on.

Alternatively you may want to record an audio book for children. Audio books are often used as a way to help children get to sleep. Therefore in this instance you may want someone with a gentler voice in order to ease the children and relax them before they go to bed.

There are two ways you could find a vocal talent. Some people will have their own website and offer services independently. Others will offer their services via an agency. There are advantages and disadvantages to both these options. In the case of an independent artist there is no additional commission for using an agency. However with an agency you can have a wider array of options and because they have been chosen by the agency they are more likely to be of a better quality.

Another vital aspect is the demo. This is your opportunity to hear how they sound and whether it is appropriate for your particular brief. Someone may have a terrific booming voice but if you want something a bit softer and sensitive then this will be largely irrelevant.

In either instance you need to get an audio sample from them. This gives you the chance to listen to their vocal range and whether what they can offer will work for your project. If they are recording from their own studio this becomes especially important as it gives you the opportunity to test the sound quality of their equipment as well. This is vital because ultimately you will be the one judged on the final quality of a project and any poor recording will reflect badly on you whereas choosing someone professional with good quality recording equipment will reflect well.

You can find numerous agencies and independent artists online. Ideally you should check with a number of them in order to compare what they have to offer. This is both in terms of price and the quality of their work. Use your regular search engine for more information as well as getting feedback from clients who have used their services in the past in order to find the best vocal talent for your project.
