How Does A Voice Over Session Work?

We’ve taken the hassle out of booking, recording, directing and editing a voice over session. Simply send us your script (with any direction) and we’ll do the rest.

Here’s how it works.

• Search our talent pool and choose the voiceover talent you’d like, or brief our team and we’ll suggest a selection of suitable talent for your approval. Do you require a narration? Perhaps you’re producing a radio commercial? We’re constantly in communication with our talent and carefully manage their daily availability - so we know who’ll be the best choice and able to deliver by your deadline.
• We’ll send the script to the voice, with the job’s deadline clearly marked.

The voice over artist will record your script in their professional voice over booth, paying careful attention to any supplied direction and pronunciations.

- If your project is a long form narration, the talent will record a short demo allowing you to check the style, tone and pace before they proceed recording the full script.)
- If you’ve elected to direct the voice session, we’ll call you by phone or Source Connect Now, enabling you to talk to the voiceover and provide direction as they read the script. If time and budget permits, a directed session is something we recommend.
- If you’re not directing the session, the voiceover will ‘self direct’ in an unsupervised session, a skill that our voice talent have developed over the years reading thousands of scripts. Being able to ‘listen’ to the read while delivering it is not something every voice can do well, and we carefully select and work with our talent to ensure they can deliver unsupervised reads to a high standard.

• After the script has been recorded, the talent will upload the completed high quality audio to our servers. We utilize Amazon Web Services ensuring you get reliability, security and the fastest downloads. Put simply, your audio files will be safe, backed up for 12 months and available on demand.
• The sound designer assigned to your job will download the audio and edit it, remove any unwanted artifacts and add audio compression, processing and EQ to ensure the voice sounds crisp and clear. If your project is a long form narration voiceover, we’ll then have it independently proofed by a member of our team ensuring you receive audio that is error-free and accurate.
• If you require music or sound effects to be mixed with your voice overs, please let us know. (You can login, search and audition over 28,000 music tracks to find the perfect one, or brief us and let us select the track.)
• Once produced, the final audio will be uploaded to our servers and a link emailed to you for instant download. Simply click on the link, and voila! A professional voice over; auditioned, recorded, produced and on your desktop.

If your deadline is urgent, this whole process can potentially happen in a matter of hours (and sometimes even sooner depending on the length of your script and production requirements!) Just let us know your deadline.

No fuss, no extra studios to book, no sifting through hundreds of lack-lustre demos, no cross-town auditions to attend and no freelance audio producer to hire. From casting the perfect voice to producing the final audio - just say the word and we’ll take care of it all. Simple!
