Los Angeles Voice Over Talent

Recording character voice overs is an opportunity to get creative with ad copy. While it can be very effective to take a direct sales approach to a TV or radio commercial, focusing solely on the merits of the product or service, creating character interaction within the voice over has a unique ability to capture viewer attention when executed properly.

Preparing a Script with Character Voice Overs

It starts with a well-written and carefully revised script. Before casting for the character voice overs, a thorough breakdown should be performed. This step should systematically analyze every aspect of the script, including:

• The number of lines spoken by each person in the script
• Traits for each part to be played
• Length
• The desired vocal qualities of each actor (relative age, special characteristics)
• Tonal consistency

Having this complete and ready to go helps the actors playing the parts prepare, and facilitates a faster, smoother execution in the studio. Look for producers whose voice over rates are determined by the length of the finished product, not the amount of time spent in the studio recording it. Talented actors with experience recording narration for TV and radio can interpret, rehearse and record a script very quickly. Simpler pieces can generally be delivered to the client within a matter of days.
