VO Pro Tip: Get the Most Out of Your E-Mail Signature

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

A Professional E-Mail Signature

Hey Reader,

Think about how many emails you send in a week. Between following up with leads, sending auditions, and coordinating with current clients, that’s a lot of digital "real estate" you’re using. Are you making the most of it?

A professional email signature is more than just a sign-off; it’s a passive marketing tool that works for you every time you hit "send."

Why it matters:

  • Instant Credibility: A clean, well-formatted signature tells the recipient that you aren’t just a hobbyist—you’re a professional business owner.
  • The "One-Click" Rule: Producers are busy. If they like your audition but have to hunt through your website or old emails to find your demos again, they might move on. Putting your demo link (or website link where your demos are front and center) right in your signature makes hiring you easy
  • Brand Consistency: It’s a chance to reinforce your brand colors, logo, and the professional "voice" of your business. You can do this by including a few voice descriptors such as (Conversational, Youthful, Authentic Male VO Talent)

What to include (and what to skip):

  • DO: Include your name, title (Voice Actor/VO Talent), and a direct link to your website or demos.
  • CONSIDER: Voice descriptors, notable credits, accolades/awards.
  • DON'T: Use a giant image as your entire signature. Many email filters will flag this as spam, or the image simply won't load for the recipient.
  • DON'T: Overload it with every social media link you own. Keep it focused on the places where a client can actually hear your work and hire you.

Pro Tip: Treat your signature like your digital business card. Keep it simple, clean, clickable, and professional. You never know which "follow-up" email might lead to your next big booking just because your demo was right there.

Active Listening in Live Sessions Hey Reader, When you’re in a directed session, it’s easy to get "tunnel vision." You’re so focused on your mic technique, your script marking, and your next breath that you can sometimes miss what the client is actually telling you. You may get a note from the client or producer and then proceed to give the exact same read again. Why? Because you were listening to the words, but not the intent. Here is the pro tip: Practice Active Listening to nail the...

Should you Follow Up? Hey Reader, In the voice-over world, there’s a big difference between being a "proactive professional" and being "the person who clogs the inbox." When it comes to following up, the most important rule is knowing where the audition came from. The "No-Go" Zone: Online Casting & Agencies If you submitted an audition through a P2P site (like Voice123 or Voices) or through your agent, do not follow up. These casting directors are often sorting through 200+ auditions. If they...

Listening Back Hey Reader, You’ve just finished a long editing session. You’ve de-clicked, normalized, EQ’d and done all of your other processing to your audio. But before you send it off to the client or prospect, make sure you are properly listening back to your file. Here is the pro tip: Before you hit "send" on that final file, perform a few different Listen Back Tests. I always recommend closing your eyes for this, as it helps you focus solely on the sound. You don't want to be watching...
