FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First of all, a Pro VO Talent knows how to communicate your copy, not just read it. That makes a huge difference to your project, or your brand image. For instance, the first impression customers will have of your product or company will often be the voice they hear representing it: on the phone, in a commercial, on a tutorial, on the web, etc. I know the guy next door, or perhaps your cousin, has a nice voice and can read words but usually that is not enough. We are trained to bring words to life, and to love the challenge! In our home studios, we provide even more services for you. Heres how it goes if youre my virtual client. After you send me your script, heres what I do: 1) Review the text and make sure all technical terms/pronunciations are accurate 2) Confirm with you the desired tone of delivery (Formal? Conversational? Upbeat? Etc) 3) Set up the audio files 4) Record, always doing multiple takes to get the best selection 5) Edit for best takes, flow and consistency 6) Clean up breaths and other unwanted sounds 7) Final output preparation 8) Review the entire recording and name the file or files 9) Convert files to format of your choice and send to you
