VO Pro Tip: Comparing your auditions to the finished work


Voice-Over Pro Tip

Comparing Auditions to Finished Work

Hey Reader,

Unfortunately, getting feedback on your auditions as a VO talent is pretty rare. You may have been way off base or the second runner up who just lost out on the job by a hair, and the feedback from the client is the same - nothing.

This can make it hard to do some analysis and figure out why you aren't booking or missed the mark on certain auditions.

To help with this, one thing that you can try is to start keeping an email folder where you save audition notices/postings that you think you gave a really good audition for. After a while you can go look back through this folder, and do a little web research to try to find the finished the spots and compare your auditions to the final read and the talent that actually booked.

Doing this can give some great insight into what you can do differently going forward to book more work.

Voice-Over Pro Tip Review your Auditions Hey Reader, If you audition for something and book it, that's obviously a great feeling, and then you'll go on and record the job and maybe take a look/listen to the final project when it is released. But do you ever go back and listen to that original audition you submitted? Probably not, (I'm guilty of this often too). But I think it is a good idea to do so. You obviously did something right on that audition, and I think you can glean a lot from...

Voice-Over Pro Tip Client and Lead Information Hey Reader, If you are just starting out, this might not apply to you quite yet. But at some point not too far into your VO career, you're going to want to have some sort of CRM system. This is the place where you will store information about your clients and leads. Think of it like a big database with all the information about the people you've worked with or discussed VO with over the years. It can even be a simple spreadsheet to start, but...

Voice-Over Pro Tip Staying in Touch Hey Reader, You probably already know how important it is to keep communication with past clients and leads. If you're like me, you probably have struggled a bit with finding the balance between doing so often enough that they remember you for work, and not overdoing it. I think there is a balance there, and admittedly in the past I think I've leaned too heavily into my fear of becoming annoying. You probably can relate. I used to only reach out once or...
