A Quick Guide To Hiring Freelance Voice Actor For Commercials

By Donald Reynolds


Once you have written a wonderful script that you cannot wait for the world to hear, you need to figure out the best way to produce a video. You could use computer tools to create animated videos, but you will still require a great voice to accompany the animations. This is where a professional actor comes in. However, there are various considerations you should make before hiring a freelance voice actor for commercials.

It is possible to find prospective candidates using the internet. All you need is to type the relevant terms in the search engine and you will get results with possible contractors. You can be specific with your search by adding terms to indicate the preferred location, language, and type of video. This way, you only concentrate on prospects that have a higher chance of giving you the results you want.

Browse their profiles for a while to see the kind of work they have done before and the outcome. This information will also include the period they have practiced in this field. It is also important to check what their previous clients are saying about their work. All these details help you in identifying top-notch talent with excellent customer service.

Come up with a list of at least three candidates that you can continue interviewing. These should have relevant, impressive portfolio. Give them a few sentences of your script and ask them to record a demo for auditioning. If need be, ask each prospect to create two to three videos for your assessment. This way, you get an idea about which candidate is creative enough to provide the kind of output you are interested in.

You should give details of how the recording should appear. For instance, point out that you are interested in a raw sample recording without any effects, background noise or music. Also, invest in good speakers that can give a clear sound to assess its quality effectively.

Since you are creating commercials, be clear with the freelancer at the onset. This way, they can provide samples with styles that match your requirements. You could also give them a sample of how your video should sound like. This way, they will strive to provide their best samples for you to assess whether the candidate fits your needs.

Talk about the charges for their services. Freelancers have different pricing methods. There are those who will quote a fixed price for the project while others have an hourly rate. If they want to work per hour, ask them how much they can achieve within the time. This will give a clear idea of the total cost of your project. Compare offers by different freelancers and opt for one with excellent work at an affordable price.

Have in mind that cultural differences can dilute the original message if not considered properly when recording. You need to assess the original source of the recording and where the end product will be used or the language. Of importance is to get someone who is capable of producing your audio in a way it can speak to your new audience without altering the meaning.
