Key Factors to Consider When Hiring Voice Over Talent
                     Key Factors to Consider When 
Hiring Voice-Over Talent
]
Ideally, you want a voice talent who has been 
through the trenches for many years and has built 
up the skills, experience and professionalism 
needed to get your voice-over job done right the 
first time.
It’s important to dig deeper than just their voice-
over demos.
  
Steps To Consider Hiring Voice 
Over Talent
Professional Voice-Over 
Experience
Experience reigns supreme 
when it comes to honing 
talent, skills and 
professionalism. A more 
experienced voice-over 
actor will most likely be 
able to deliver a high-
quality final product, 
especially when compared 
to a voice-over talent with 
limited experience
  
  Range and Versatility
Make sure the VO talent’s vocal 
range suits what you’re 
looking for and, if you’re not 
sure what you’re looking for, 
go for someone with a wide 
range of vocal ability in their 
voice-over demos and clips. 
High-quality VO pros will have 
sample recordings that 
showcase their full range and 
versatility on a wide scope of 
different jobs.
  
 Rates and Pricing
Money is not always the bottom 
line, but rates can work as a 
clue to decide if the voice-over 
actor is the right one for you. 
One red flag would be rates 
that are unbelievably low, 
which could be the mark of a 
novice. Other talent rates may 
be too high for your budget, 
although you can always 
attempt to negotiate.
  
 Recording Studio Specs
Serious voice-over actors often 
post their home recording 
studio equipment and specs 
on their website, so definitely 
look for it. But a room full of 
fancy, expensive equipment 
doesn’t guarantee a good 
recording. Everything must be 
set up properly and fine-tuned.
