All of your dry voice overs, must be recorded in a professional voice over studio and in fact you can take the help of a sound engineer for the final mix with music.It would be great if you can share your selected music with sound engineer this will save time and cost.

Final script for the Demo recordings

Please ! don't forget to line up final demo script before you get the booking in a voice over studio.At times it happens ,we don't rehearse with the demo script due to this  we did not get the best part of our voice.
So spend good time at home to rehearse ,few readings of your demo script before recording a final take in a studio Or you can ask your friend who can monitor/observe your pronunciation in a studio.

All the best for the final Take !

Should we use USB microphone for Voice Over Recording ?

Is it ok to use USB microphone ? No! ( If you are looking for High Paid Jobs in voice over industry- Never)


 Let me tell you why ? My explanation is not on the basis of technical parameters associated with the USB Microphone ,
It is because it gives unprofessional impression to the client or the agencies which suppose to hire you.I am sharing my views on the basis of marketing perspective .Yes ! for a voiceover artist ,it is always important to market his/her voice regularly and before selling your voiceovers you must have an awesome equipment in your vocal chain thats make a brilliant image of your profile but if you tell them you are using USB microphone then the chances are, they may skip you, just because you have recorded your voice over demos using usb microphones.

 What most of the voice over agencies look out for , when they are ready to pay you Good Money!

 - High Quality Audio Files (no ecos,ambient noise , reverb etc)
- Type of Microphone you have in your home studio
- Acoustic Studio - that absorbs your voice and reduces echo
 - Ofcourse Your voicing Technique (does'nt matter how your voice sounds)

Above mentioned requirements for voice recordings are always must for every voice artist ,specially for the bigger ,higher paying jobs because outside studio you will find out that, a studio engineer would begin to ask you " what equipments you are using for the recordings" and Most studio Engineer do not accept voice recorded on usb microphone though many people do not get agreed on this explanation but that is the reality and we should accept it, because this is what my client wants.

In order to get more work for voice over job ,one should focus on Quality Gears so that many jobs can be grabbed as the opportunity comes in.
