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 going back and listening critically to auditions that you booked, and even A/Bing them with auditions that you thought were great, but didn't book.

This might provide some insight into things you did right and areas to focus on for future auditions.

But something important I also want to note is - don't read too heavily into this if you are A/Bing with other auditions you didn't book. It doesn't necessarily mean you did something wrong on those non-winning auditions, sometimes it's a great performance and all the tech-aspects are great as well, but the client just preferred another voice.

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...

VO Pro Tip: Staying in Touch without Being Annoying

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...

VO Pro Tip: Don't Lean on Post-Production

Voice-Over Pro Tip Don't Lean on Post-Production Hey Reader, With all the amazing editing tools we have at our disposal these days, it can become really easy to use them as a crutch. You might not worry about pacing because you'll just adjust it when you edit. You might not worry about those clicks and pops because you'll just take them out in post. You might not care that you left the window open outside your booth and there's some ambient noise, you'll just de-noise after recording. While...
