Choosing A Freelance Voice Over Artist Los Angeles

By Donna Hayes


The broadcast style has evolved over the years. Speech has become very important, and those people who can turn it into a tool are making money and enjoying their job. If you want a perfect speech for your audience, hiring freelancers can be useful. All you need is to create a script which they will read as they are being recorded. Finding someone who matches your needs for a video is not easy. Here is how to choose a freelance voice over artist Los Angeles.

First, you must consider the feelings that define or explain your product or service. When you start looking for a freelancer when you have no idea what exactly to look for in the voice, then you are lost. List down the feelings or reactions that explain your brand. Use the list to find someone who embodies these sentiments based on the brand you are marketing.

References are another consideration. Voice over artists can be hard to find, especially for those people who are new to the production industry. Make things easier by asking around for references from experts in the production industry. They have a good network with these freelancers and will refer you to someone who fits your requirements. Someone who works with a video making agency must have a good network.

The next pointer is deciding on the gender to choose. The target demographic must be considered here. It is hard to determine whether to work with a male or female. Female speeches are believed to be compelling by some people while others think it is the male voice. Therefore, to avoid making mistakes, if a majority of your target audience is male, choose a male voice over expert. If the primary target population is female, choose a female professional.

Artists who are proud of their job will have nothing to hide and will keep a collection of their previous works. Ask the candidates for their work and if any of them has no record, remove them from your list. Evaluate these samples and choose the one that suits your needs. If one has many specializations, the better.

Check if the speeches complement your audience. There is the right speech and the wrong one. The wrong statement will distance your target audience because they will lose interest. A corporate video meant for kids must have a speech whose tone addresses children and not the senior demographic. If you use the speech for a brand meant for adults, then no one is going to pay attention to it.

With the team of professionals you are working with, you might think that a specific voice is good for the audience. But, you cannot be sure until you do some testing. Take a few people from your target market based on its size and have them hear the speech. If it is right, then you can proceed.

Lastly, in the global market, English is the most common language. Also, keep in mind that some countries use English as the second language, and may not understand it well. An average accent will thus be okay in such a case.
