 Key Qualities to Consider When Choosing a Voice-over Artist

Voice-overs are quite literally the voice of your brand. They are the host for perhaps the most important type of brand communication you’ll ever do: video. That’s why it’s absolutely critical to match the ‘voice’ to your brand identity, for the sake of your overall marketing success. 

This brings us to the critical question: what skills should you be looking for when selecting the definitive voice for your brand in social media videos, commercials, telephone hold messages, audiobooks, and voicemail?

Are you overthinking the criteria, and are you confused about choosing ‘the voice’ for your brand’s persona? Instead of getting lost in the overwhelm of possibilities, just read this blog and you’ll be better prepared to make the right choice.

What does a voice-over artist do?

A voice-over artist is a voice actor who records the narration for a video. This could be a single narrator or a dialogue. A voice-over artist also records for a range of business materials like audio messages, voicemails, telephone hold messages, commercials, announcements, podcasts and more. 

They usually read a script, and bring the words to life with their own particular style. This is why voice-over is called an art. 

Studio 52 is the busiest voice-over service provider in the UAE, and when we’re selecting a voice-over artist for your video we always voice test several artists to find the one best suited to your brand persona. The talent is vetted on their voice modulation skills, timbre, intonation, voice control and modulation. 

Once we have narrowed down the search to a few shortlisted options, we record dummy voiceovers for approval from the client. Only once you approve ‘the voice’ do we get the talent into the recording studio for the final audio recording. 

The recording, rendered into an audio format, is then edited to the visuals to create a brand video or social media video for your business. 

Here is a list of the essential qualities for a voice-over artist to be able to deliver a great audio recording:

1. Professionalism  

You’ll want to select a voice-over artist who is on top of their game. Look for a track record in taking custom requirements and transforming them into accurate and brilliant voiceovers. Seek out someone who accepts and responds to feedback and always completes tasks on time. 

Video is an expensive business and you can’t afford to waste valuable editing and post-production time waiting for your voice-over artist to show up for an audio recording, or to put in a substandard performance that needs costly correction.

At Studio 52 we look for consistency. When we find a seasoned and talented voice-over star, we add them to our list of ‘go-to’ voice-over artists. It’s this list that helps make us the foremost voice over service provider in UAE. To make this list, the artist should be consistent with their availability and vocal quality over several projects. 

2. Experience 

Anyone can choose a career as a voice-over artist, but only a handful succeed. This career path doesn’t require a formal degree; instead, natural skills are enhanced and perfected on the job. 

This means learning to hold the mic correctly to kill the sibilance, taking the right breaks for breath control, plus the perfect intonation, enunciation, and voice modulation. 

Sadly, just having a great voice does not a voice-over artist make! If you pick an inexperienced voice-over artist, you’ll have to do a lot of editing of the recorded narration in the audio studio, wasting both time and money.

3. Vocal quality

These are very specific qualities of the voice that help you assess whether the talent is a good match for your audio requirements:

Range of vocals — Range relates to a voice-over artist’s ability to change the pitch of their voice. They should be able to carry a low note and a higher note equally, and with ease. This is a good way to ensure that the artist is able to inject emotional range into the voice-over. A powerful range means you have voice-overs that are engaging and memorable. 

Versatility — A great way to assess versatility is to ask for a portfolio of recorded voice-overs. This usually gives you a fair idea of whether the voice-over artist will be able to perform to your standards. This will also give you an idea of whether they will be able to vary their tone of delivery, for example whether they can deliver both serious and funny voice-overs equally well. 

Clarity — The voice should be clear. Each word should be clearly articulated with no mumbling, extra sibilance, or sharp breath exhalation sounds. 

Rhythm or cadence — Cadence is the ability to read a complete sentence without long pauses, and without using fillers like “uhm”, “aaaah” and “uuuh”. 

4. Correct accent

If you want an American accent, you need to pick a voice-over artist who can deliver this accent credibly. They don’t need to be an American voice actor, but they do need to have that accent in their portfolio of available options. 

5.  Proper pronunciation 

The voice-over artist should be able to pronounce all words perfectly. A recording with even a single mispronounced word has to be re-done, wasting time and resources. If your script is likely to have difficult or unfamiliar words, get your potential artist to confirm and demonstrate that they can deliver the correct pronunciation of that word before you begin recording. 

Finally…

Never shy away from asking for audio resumes, audio portfolios and demo voice samples from prospective voice-over artists. 

You can also ask the talent to attend a mini audition. Give them a script peppered with tough words, which requires a specific accent and a certain cadence and expression. Only choose the voice-over artist once you have evaluated the mini recording, saving post-production mayhem.

At Studio 52 we feel that the artist fee is more than worth it when finding the perfect UAE voice-over artist for our clients, because we realise that quality comes with an appropriate price tag. 

A good voice-over artist also cuts down on recording and post-production costs. Fewer voice errors in the recording means the sound engineer doesn’t have to spend time correcting hisses and sibilance, which also means your video gets completed before the deadline. 

We make happier voiceovers!

High-quality professional voiceover services and emerging Talent

Over several years of experience in creating voiceovers, we have identified four things that define the essentials of great voiceovers.

Audio Clarity and Volume

Pacing

Vocal tone and inflexion

Pronunciation

The essential part of great audio is a comfortable volume and the clarity of voice. If the voice recorded is fuzzy or muddy sounding, it will be difficult for people to comprehend. There will be distractions in the audience, and one will not absorb the information resulting in people going wayward. The consequences of all these are people fail to engage with you, and the marketing effort fails.

Audio with high volume may annoy and distort the message, while a low volume message may be challenging to interpret.

Pacing a story is vital as experts know the correct speed to narrate an account to impact the audience. If narration of a story happens at a rapid pace, the audience won’t know what hit them. On the other end, people are likely to get bored if it is said slowly. Pacing also includes taking thoughtful pauses to take a breath and enables the listener to process information.

Inflexion and vocal tone refers to speaking in as natural a manner as possible. While sounding friendly and engaging is essential, you must not declare fake. It’s not advisable to say like a game show host while avoiding a robotic and monotone voice should be the top priority.

The last element of great voiceover is clear pronunciation. The voice over artist should not mumble or over-enunciate. In today’s world, regional marketing assumes prime importance. Hence voiceovers should adequately represent regional accents. One thing to remember is there are no universal accents and universal pronunciations.

Recommendation for Voiceover Actors from Studio 52

Studio 52 has worked in the Voiceover industry for years. The industry is ever-growing, and with regional voiceovers assuming more importance nowadays, a career as a voiceover artist is booming. These recommendations are for those budding professionals who want to make it big as Voiceover Artist.

The Script is the most vital component of a Voiceover.

Let’s face it- a script makes a voiceover professional. Nothing ruins a good voiceover than a lot of hemming and hawing or 25 umms in a row as one tries to remember what you wanted to say next. The best scripts are those that include word-for-word everything you intend to say. It would help if you had everything written before so that you do not meander into unrelated topics. Write a full script on a pre-planned outline. With a hand in front of you, you have the chance to practice. It would help adequately rehearsed before going for the final recording while mindful of words and phrases.       

 Do a test recording before the final recording. 

You should always do a test recording to ensure that your equipment works properly and your audio levels are excellent. Even if you deem that nothing has changed from the last time you completed a voiceover, it’s still a great practice to test first! You do not require the complete Script for a test recording – a few paragraphs are sufficient to check whether the audio is clear, is at an adequate level and does not involve any stray and ambient noises.

Check the test recording with a headphone to determine the audio quality. Computer speakers are not the correct device for this. Headphones catch weird room noises and such and allow you to spot anomalies in the recording. Many of your viewers will listen via headphones, so it is better to ensure an optimal experience.

Placement of the microphone

 It helps if you never place the microphone too close to the mouth as it will be subject to all weird mouth noises and air puffs. Don’t place it too far away. It might sound lost in a large room. The ideal position of the microphone is six to eight inches from the mouth and slightly below the chin. It applies the same to a clip-on mic. It is also advisable to be mindful of the surface as some microphone stands pick up noises from the desk or table they are sitting.

Check for volume levels.

The correct volume levels for your voiceover ensures it’s heard and there is no distortion. If it is low, people have trouble hearing what you say. On the contrary, too high an audio will blow out your viewer’s eardrums. Starting at the ideal audio level is always your best bet. For the most part, that is between -10db to -20db. The peak should be around -6db. Distortion happens over 0 dB.

Record your Voiceover

Once you are satisfied with your microphone placement and audio test, you should go for the kill! Yes, record your voiceover. You should speak slowly and clearly but not like a robot. Don’t sound too overjoyed-instead sound pleasant. Consider smiling while reading the Script, as it will help you communicate happier and more natural. Never stop if you think you have made a mistake. You can always edit it later. If the Script seems too challenging to continue seamlessly, take a pause. Rewrite the portions that are giving you trouble, and then start over again. Voiceovers get easier as you do it over and over again. So, could you not give up easily on it?

Edit the Audio 

Even for the perfect voiceover recording, one can spot portions for editing. Trim the beginning or end, for example, to remove dead spaces and achieve a compact form. Edit any abnormally long silences between sentences and statements and any weird sounds that don’t belong to the Script.

The audio now needs to be imported to the video editor

 While doing this, please ensure that you do caption and audio transcription for those viewers who will see the video without sound.

Voiceover Artists in the Digital Age: Integrating Artificial Intelligence with Human Talent

Voiceover artists have long played a crucial part in the media and content creation industries, helping to bring tales to life and make an impact. The proliferation of AI voice overs has sparked some anxiety about the future of the industry and the relationship between technology progress and human creativity.

●      What Happens When Actors Do Voice-Overs?

Commercials, animated films, video games, audiobooks, and other media all include the voices of voiceover artists. Their scripts stand out because they are filled with heart and authenticity. The ability to bring characters to life, persuade listeners, and evoke strong emotions are all hallmarks of a talented voiceover actress.

These performers often engage in rigorous training to improve their acting, diction, and vocal range. They are versatile because they can adapt to several styles and genres because of their acute awareness of subtleties in tempo, volume, and pitch. Their adaptability and originality make them valuable contributors to the arts sector.

●      A Balanced Act

Concerns regarding the eventual erasure of human voice actors grow as AI voiceovers gain popularity. While AI has significant cost and efficiency benefits, it is unable to accurately replicate human expression and true emotion. Machines will never equal the compassion, sensitivity, and inventiveness that human artists bring to their work.

Finding a balance between AI and human voiceover artists may hold the key to the future. Each has its advantages, and in certain circumstances one can be more suitable than the other. For instance, ai voiceover do very well in situations requiring dependable, affordable narration, such as automated customer service or e-learning courses.

However, human voiceover actors continue to excel in projects that call for a unique perspective, strong emotions, or creative interpretation. These experts are real artists who can adapt to unusual texts, give characters depth, and provide performances that have a lasting impact on viewers.

●      Coordination and Innovation

Collaboration is one method to get the best of both worlds. Artificial intelligence (AI) voiceovers can undertake high-volume, repetitive chores, freeing up human artists to concentrate on the originality and impact of their work. Voice actors may work together with AI technology to automate processes, try out different vocal timbres, or even use AI-generated voices as supporting characters in their stories.

Additionally, the use of AI capabilities may increase the options available to voice actors. They may widen their range and employability by applying for positions in languages or accents they are less fluent with using AI-driven voice synthesis.

Conclusion,

The emergence of AI voiceovers does not always mean that human voice actors are no longer needed. Instead, it offers a chance for peaceful cohabitation. Human voiceover artists will continue to be the driving force behind imaginative and emotionally stirring narrative, even while AI can execute monotonous chores well. The difficult balancing act between technical advancement and the classic artistry of human voices will determine the direction of voiceovers in the future. Voiceover artists may survive in a developing environment where both human and AI voices have a place by embracing cooperation and adaptation.

[a-pastel-edgelord]

You are the closest thing Atsumu's ever had to a best friend, Osamu knows. His brother's faults were often so visible to other kids that it drove them away. Not you though. You simply laughed and called Atsumu a jerk. The rest is history.

Osamu watches from his place on the bench as Atsumu sets up for a spike serve, six steps, the toss, the jump and--

"Don't fuck it up!" Your voice jeers.

Atsumu misses, spectacularly. The ball ricochets off the back wall with a stellar thwump that rings a brief silence into the gym. Osamu sees his brother spin around, a vein in his neck throbbing as he starts to unload on you.

"YOU MOTHERF—"

"Imagine not getting the service ace because the opposite team heckles you!" You cut him off with a jovial smile. "How lame would that be?"

"YOU SCRUB! GET OVER HERE. I'LL KILL YA!"

And off the two of you go, shrieking insults at each other. Osamu makes no move to get out of his seat. Not for the first time, he considers how this strange game of tag could be its own spectator sport. Suna sits next to him, the middle blocker's eyes flitting to the current source of entertainment.

"Not gonna record this shit?"

"No, s'not nearly as entertaining as watching the two of you beat up on each other." Atsumu manages to trap you in a headlock, driving his knuckles into your scalp for a noogie as you kick at his legs. "How long have they been together anyhow?" The question is asked so flippantly, Osamu almost misses it.

"Hah? They're not datin', Suna." That's right. The two of you aren't dating. Not once had Atsumu ever expressed that kind of interest in you, and the same seems to be true in reverse. No longing stares. No pining.

"That so? Could have sworn they were." Suna glances over, his usual apathetic expression almost perfectly in place. However, Rintaro Suna is the closest thing Osamu has to a best friend.

Osamu's mouth goes dry. "Drop it, Sunarin."

Suna holds his stare for another beat before turning away. "You deserve to have what you want, Samu."

"I mean it."

"So do I."

Osamu fights to keep his face in check, fights to restrain himself like always. To hold back just enough so that he doesn't lose his temper. It should be easier by now, to suffer the pointed remarks Suna makes with grace. However, Suna had been the one to witness the smallest of exchanges between Osamu and you. And then, the motherfucker had managed to put two and two together. So here Osamu sits, watching his brother horseplay with you.

You. The one person he could trust Atsumu with, the one person who would be so good for him to fall for... is the same person who crashed through Osamu's walls and took a seat within the inner sanctum of his affections.

Osamu Miya is in love with his brother's best friend and Atsumu would never forgive him for it if he found out.
