By Claudine Hodges


Without quality voices backing up the most popular animation we see nowadays, their impact may not be as good as it is. Voices give life to animation. Even company ads and foreign films now see the reason why this should not be taken for granted. It is just as important as the actual message they want to deliver.

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.

But while you have a lot of choices, you also have to understand that not all talents are created equal. One voice can be a fit to two or three kinds of projects but not for everything. Therefore, it si vital that you take time to check the following areas.

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.

Three, consider the price. If the actress is really high end, she will naturally ask for a higher charge compared to those with lesser experience. Weigh your options and cross reference it to your budget. If the quality is good but the price is really high, look for alternatives. There are many out there with a more affordable deal.

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.

Treat the selection of voice actress as important as how you conceptualize your project. Remember, your message has to be solid. The best way to do this is to provide a voice that has authority, but at the same time relatable to the masses.
