Voice Over FAQs
What is voice over and what will I get?
Voice over is a production technique where a voice that is not part of the narrative is heard over the action. It’s often used in movies, TV shows, plays, or other presentations. Voice over is an effective way to convey information that doesn’t naturally fit into the plot or the other visual elements that are occurring. Voice over work is read by a voice actor who reads from a script, and it is added to the other elements during production.
What makes a good voice over?
The quality of your voice over depends almost entirely o the skill of the voice actor you use. A good voice actor will have perfect enunciation (ie, be very easy to understand), speak at an ideal pace (not too fast and not too slow), and have a pleasing voice. They should also be good at acting, and able to convey the feeling or emotions required by the script, using vocal variance and tone to keep the words interesting while also embodying the desired mood.
Do I need to prepare something for my voice over actor?
A professional voice actor will be able to give you guidance on how best to proceed with your voice over. However, you will need to prepare the script you want them to read, and explain the desired tone of the piece. You will need to have a good understanding of how you want it to sound, and be able to explain that clearly.
How do I choose the right voice over professional?
Once you’ve identified a pool of candidates based on skills and availability, look at their experience and browse their gig gallery. Listen to samples of previous voice-over work to get a sense of their style, and choose the candidate whose style you like best. You can contact them before ordering, explain your project requirements, expectations, and budget, and provide examples of work you like by the seller or someone else as an audio reference.
What should I ask a voice-over actor I want to hire?
Asking the right questions will help you assess how good a fit the voice actor is for your project. To assess if they have the vocal range needed for your purposes, ask for demos and listen. Ask what recording equipment they use. You really get what you pay for in this case. Always ask what experience they have and read the reviews of other customers. If not sufficient or not relevant to your requirements, ask for more references.
Which other factors are important when hiring a voice actor?
Nowadays, voice acting is a far cry from what radio and tv commercials sounded like in the past. The proliferation of video and lowering of barriers for publishing on numerous channels increases the demand for a variety of voice acting skills and also the supply. Previous VO experience is key so always ask for published work and research the actor's media reputation. Ask them for ‘in character’ examples and also about availability especially if considering a long-term project.

Music Producers FAQs
What is the difference between a music producer and a composer?
A music producer works with musicians, singers, and engineers; oversees performances, lighting, and choreography; supervises the post-production stage; ensures that the work is done on time; and promotes the finished product. While a producer might be involved in the songwriting process, it is just part of their responsibilities. Music composers work on writing and composing music. They write original music compositions, work with lyricists for new songs, and study musical types and styles.
How do I choose the right music producer?
Look for a producer with experience in your genre or style of music. Review their portfolio, listen to samples of their work, and read client reviews to assess their quality and reliability. Communication is key, so consider reaching out to discuss your project before hiring.
What are the qualities of a successful music producer?
Successful music producers are passionate about music and willing to work hard. They connect with musicians on a deeper level, they're versatile, business-savvy, patient, and focused. They also have well-trained ears capable of recognizing what sounds work well in a song, and they have the ability to bring musicians together to create great records.
How do I know if I need a producer or a mixing engineer?
A producer is the creative leader of any album or recording. They oversee the recording, mixing, and mastering of tracks, advise musicians on how to play a track, help artists select the songs to record, and more. A mixing engineer does the technical job of blending all the recordings into a finished song.
What outcomes can I expect from working with a music producer?
You can expect your music to achieve a higher level of quality and professionalism. A good producer will enhance your sound, help you realize your artistic vision, and potentially make your music more marketable.
Is it worth hiring a music producer for a single or EP?
Absolutely. Even for smaller projects like singles or EPs, a music producer can add significant value, ensuring your music stands out and reaches its full potential. This can be especially important in a competitive market.

Singers & Vocalists FAQs
What is the difference between a singer and a vocalist?
A singer is anyone who sings well enough to do it professionally. A vocalist, on the other hand, is a technically trained singer. A vocalist is usually trained in classical music and sings with a high level of technical correctness.
What qualities should great singers and vocalists have?
Every great singer or vocalist should be proactive about finding opportunities. They should be patient, dedicated to honing their craft, and open to working with other singers. They should also have good voice health, the ability to control their breathing, and their own signature style.
What is the average cost of hiring a singer?
The cost of hiring a singer depends on how good they are and their experience. Hiring an amateur singer will cost you about $150 to $200 per recording or performance, while a highly experienced singer will charge about $400. If your budget is lower, consider hiring a freelance singer at an average price of $120. Make sure to carefully vet them before hiring their services.
How do I hire the right vocalist or singer?
Nowadays it’s relatively easy to find a singer or vocalist who can perform pop, R&B, hip-hop, jazz, soul, rock, heavy metal, or any other music genre for you. Research and listen to their portfolios, make a shortlist and talk to them. Be realistic that it still might take time to find one with a style, sound and the right professional attitude that’s a good fit for your song quickly. Read the reviews but also ask for qualifications and track record.
What do I need to provide to the singer beforehand?
The key ingredient in your relationship with the songwriter or vocalist is clear leadership and setting the right expectations. Don’t let them second-guess the style, tempo or how you plan to record the vocals, the chorus or guitar. Ensure the whole team knows all the details prior to recording, including what to wear if it’s a live performance or video. Give them a vocal demo of your final song, the lyrics and the instrumentals before you start the work.
What questions should I ask before hiring a singer or a vocalist?
Most experienced professionals already have answers to your most pressing questions in their profile and will give you more once you contact them. Always ask what genre they excel in and whether they have their own studio and necessary recording equipment and software. Don’t forget to find out which languages they perform in and if any styles and topics are off-limit for them. Be clear on what services they can and cannot do to avoid disappointment.
