Casting the Perfect Voice
If you are seeking a quality voiceover for your radio or television commercial, training course, corporate presentation, information video, or just about anything that needs a voiceover, Wooly Bugger Productions is your number one choice for quality talent.
Quality voice talent brings your production to life, making a connection with your audience and helping you get your information across. It doesn’t matter what you are producing – poor voice acting will ruin it. Here are things to consider when casting the perfect voice for a script.
Start with your aims and the emotions you want to evoke
The voiceover for a short radio ad is likely to be very different from an elearning voiceover required for a 20-hour training course. Because they have different goals, you’ll want to write these scripts differently and choose the right voice talent for each. Keep in mind the emotional response you are seeking. Are you introducing a corporate initiative? Consider the expectations of your audience and whether or not it understands your industry jargon. If your goal is to impart fun facts to visitors or generate enthusiasm about a new product, you may wish to use a more lively voice.
Our voiceover professionals can portray a range of emotions and feelings. Your job is to keep your text consistent and consider the primary tone of your message. Our voice-talent search function and categorization includes descriptions of our voiceover artists’ key characteristics. This will help you get the voice that matches your text and your brand.
You can tweak many variables to enhance your script. Should the voice of your brand be young and sassy or mature and measured? Whatever you need, our service can help you pick the right talent for your project. If you don’t know what you need, don’t worry, because we can help you hone in on the voice that will convey your message best.
Choosing the right tone, pace, and timbre for your script is easy with Wooly Bugger Productions. We use keywords that relate to specific talents and styles. We have such an extensive range that you are bound to find the right voice for your project. We offer professional voice talent from over 250 unique and experienced voice artists for all types of projects. And you can play samples on our webpage so you can hear them straight away. You can download demos of your top choices to send to your client to review, so you can get their input and approval before going further with the process.
Get the script right to help casting
The better the script, the better the read. Be clear about what you want to achieve. Score your script on getting its point across, not on puns or clever phrases. Sometimes simple is better. While our voiceover professionals will work wonders with any text, you should be aware that our talent is less likely to let you down than poor scripting. So ensure that your writing includes your key messages, a consistent tone, and a strong structure. Thinking in terms of a strong beginning, an informative middle, and an ending that echoes the introduction is a great place to start.
Keep your script as simple and short as possible. If you can convey your information in one minute rather than ten, you should probably do that. And imagine that your ideal listener is in the room with you, listening to your script, with a fascinating cat video just a click away. Write a script that captures and keeps her attention by giving her what she wants in a way that is as engaging and concise as possible. You know your audience better than anyone else so use this knowledge to your advantage and be confident.
When you submit your script to us, we will review the text and contact you with any questions. We always do this before forwarding them to the voice talent. This practice avoids costly do-overs due to potential misunderstandings, misinterpretations, or script errors.
Once your script is ready, we can facilitate casting. We’ll do this over the phone or internet. Before getting in touch with us, be prepared to let us know the desired tone and aim of your script. All our voiceover artists are professionals who will prepare before a reading and respond to direction.
The right language or accent for your audience
We have English, French, French-Canadian, British, Italian, German, and Spanish native speakers on our roster, so there’s plenty to choose from to make your voice talent connect with your audience. The wide range of languages we offer is only one of the elements that set us apart from the competition. Need a script voiced in multiple languages? No problem. And we can even facilitate script translation for you.
When it comes to accent, it’s more nuanced. The impact of accent in connecting with audiences is well known, with some accents coming across as more fun, more trustworthy, no-nonsense, or ‘cooler.’ Your research or marketing partners may suggest a Latin Spanish accent for a primarily Latin audience. Want a charming British accent for an American audience? We’ve got it covered. Whatever the situation, we can help with our wide range of voice talent.
