When sourcing voice talent it can be challenging to keep the process systematic and fair.

You can compare and contrast the different attributes they can add to your project.

Applicants should only need an hour or so to get comfortable with the script and the project requirements before going into the studio.
You Must Have Filtered Your 'Ideal Voice Style' First An effective selection process must have a clear focus.
The demographic group you are targeting will be the critical factor for the style and tone of the script chosen.
Planning what vocal styles will be needed for your target market in advance will reduce the number of interviews needed to complete the voice over actor selection process.
Different Scripts Will Highlight Strengths And Weaknesses Regardless of business type or industry, you'll need a collection of different scripts to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of each applicant.
Focusing on a few key themes is one of the best ways of doing this.
Does your business require a humourous advertisement? A controversial podcast? An atmospheric narration? Once the general theme and tone of your campaign has been established, the next step is locating down a similar script that encourages the talent to adopt, or in some cases create what is required.

Many script databases are free of royalty fees and from trusted sites and projects.
These can also be a great launchpad for developing and putting together your own scripts, and give you some more suggestions for making different types of scripts with your most important outcomes in mind.

This demo should include script selections that permit a voice actor to showcase their range of abilities, and how well they will fit in with your vision of the marketing campaign you'd like to create.
You may choose to have your voice over artists send in demos with their applications, or complete them inside your studio.
