You know it's a good day when you're editing clips for our Talent Acquisition Team! Well done Kriss Ford for providing the footage and of course the voiceover (a couple of takes and he smashed it) 🎙 If you want to support and develop a successful recruitment team speak to Josefine Pope today 📧 #contentmarketing #digitalmarkteting #video #videomarketing #influencermarketing 😂

It was the biggest failure of my career. I never REALLY know what the client is looking (or listening) for, when an audition comes in. If an agent sent it, it's likely they think I fit the brief and I might have a decent chance of booking it. Good start. ✔️ Agent Next I look for clues from the voice talent description (or "specs") which might include: ✔️ Broadcast-quality Source-Connect Studio ✔️ Authentic British ✔️ Female ✔️ Bright, Positive, Professional Sometimes the job comes with a guide track or sample video, to show the vibe they're after - eg: wry humourous, friendly conversational, authoritative or educational. A sample video may also suggest the accent, cadence or vocal quality the client wants. So imagine my surprise when I clicked on a guide video last week.... and the sample voice was ME! 🎯 ✔️✔️✔️That ticks ALL the boxes, right? ❌ ❌ Wrong. Watch the video for the full story. As told in my own not-apparently-good-enough voice 🙄 #epicfail #failure #voiceover #storytelling 🔝 PS To book this not-quite-good-enough voiceover for your next project, please get in touch.

I often get asked, 'Where do you find jobs?'—by aspiring voice talents, curious folks I meet, and even seasoned local veterans (since 95% of my work is international). But the real question is: 'Where do I find auditions?' In my latest blog, I share my audition journey, the platforms I’ve tried (and those that didn’t work), and where to find casting calls depending on where you're at in your voice acting career. Plus, for those who prefer data, I’ve included some concrete numbers on auditions and success rates to help paint a clearer picture. The blog is quite long, so I’ve split it into 3 parts. The first part covers how I started with the international scene. The second part, which I'll share next week, will focus on the Malaysian and Singaporean markets. I hope this blog helps aspiring voice talents find the right auditions and offers the public a glimpse into the world of voice acting 😊 #auditions #voiceactor #voicetalent #castingcalls

As the VP of a national production company for 27+ years, my team would produce between 600-700 projects per month on average. I had the primary say-so on voiceover talent recruitment and retention. While there was specific criteria used to determine if a talent was going to make the cut, the 7 things below had far less impact than you might think (especially the first 3): ❌ Industry conferences you attended. ❌ Awards you have won. ❌ Awards you were nominated for. ❌ Coaches you worked with. ❌ The name of your demo producer. ❌ Alphabet-soup groups you are a member of (except SAG-AFTRA). ❌ Websites you are listed on. If you want to learn the real high-value attributes that can separate you from the pack and transform you from being just another voiceover TALENT to running a voiceover BUSINESS, RING, PING, or DING me to set up a complimentary DISS-covery call. #voiceover #voiceovers #voicetalent #voiceacting #voiceovertalent #voiceoveractor #voiceoveracting

Without quality audio, there is no quality video. One of the benefits of working as a team is having the personnel to devote their attention to individual tasks. Someone to conduct an interview, someone to inspect the frame, someone to monitor audio, etc. This is the the primary way we ensure quality when working on our projects! 🎬 #videoproductioncompany #interview #advertising #bts #audio

🎤 Excited to share some tips on optimizing the placement of your Rode boom microphone! 📌 Proper placement is crucial for capturing clear and professional audio in your recordings. Here are a few key points to consider: 1️⃣ Position the boom microphone above and slightly in front of the subject to capture their voice without obstructing their view or causing discomfort. 2️⃣ Adjust the angle of the microphone to aim directly at the subject's mouth, ensuring optimal audio pickup while minimizing background noise. 3️⃣ Maintain a consistent distance between the microphone and the subject to achieve balanced sound quality throughout the recording. 4️⃣ Use a shock mount or boom pole to reduce handling noise and vibrations, resulting in cleaner audio recordings. 🎬 Whether you're filming interviews, vlogs, or documentaries, mastering the placement of your boom microphone can significantly enhance the overall quality of your content. Experiment with different setups to find what works best for your specific recording environment and project requirements. Happy recording! 🎥🔊 #AudioTips #RodeMicrophones #BoomMicPlacement #Filmmaking101 #UPES #filmindustry #documenatry #vlogs #interviews
