The ability to bring people together through the internet has removed physical distances while maintaining high-quality interactions. The remote location isn't a major factor for recording; it comes down to finding the right talent for the project. Voice overs (VO) are used in commercials for companies looking to market, promote, or advertise their business, as well as informative podcasts.
Internet searches and word of mouth are the most prevalent ways to search for voice over talent. Various keywords and phrases are used to conduct internet searches. These may vary due to the type of project or talent required:
· voice over casting
· voice over artist
· voice casting
· voice actor websites
· voice over talent
· voice over agencies
· voice overs
· best voice actors
· voiceovers
· voice actors for hire
· voice project
· voice over online
· voice talent
· female voice actor
· voice over actors
· voice over studio
The search results will lead to a particular source or voice talent to consider for the project.
Using A Studio For Voice Over Casting
At CMD, we cast talent for voice overs and maintain an extensive archive of examples. The studio is sent a set of specifications for the project – i.e., a "typecast" for a product. The information provides direction for the voice over search.
Typecast example: Female, mid-thirties with high energy
Various voice over categories on CMD's website helps to narrow down
the talent searches and provide audio examples for each voice talent.
CMD consults with the client and does the "leg work" to find the project's right voice over talent. The talent pool is vast and requires a deep dive into databases, connections, and resources to find the right voice over talent. The studio provides the client with options and examples to help make the project more impactful and streamlined.
Creative Media Design's website features individual
voice over audio examples to help find the right talent.
Just What The Doctor Ordered
Medical Narration is a highly specialized field that requires the expertise of a company immersed in the discipline. The words and phrases are much harder to pronounce. An experienced medical voice over talent is utilized to ensure the best results. CMD has extensive experience with the medical field and can quickly match the voice talent to the specification.
Medical voice overs are complex and require experience.
CMD's website provides many examples for both male and female medical voice overs.
For years, pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Wyeth, Novartis, and AstraZeneca have entrusted their medical voice overs to CMD. We combine the best medical voice over talent with experienced producers to ensure the project will be completed with accuracy, precision, and style. Our pronunciations are guaranteed, and, in many cases, we can turn a project around the same day.
Putting It All Together
Part of the selection process is coordinating the production logistics for the project. Setting up the schedules to ensure the voice over talent availability with the recording date and editing, music, and other variables require experience and resources. The audio portion of the project is produced more quickly than other elements. The average timeframe is approximately one week for completion for larger projects and as fast as same day completion for smaller projects.
