Looking for affordable voice overs online presents quite a few obstacles, including rarely being in front of the voice actor as they record your script. But what are some of the benefits? Where can problems arise? If you’ve ever wanted to know the ins and outs of finding, audition and hiring a professional voice actor at a great rate then this article is for you.
A long time ago in a time before computers and the internet, if you wanted a professional voice over for your business, narrations, e-learning course, phone greeting or voicemail, you had to use the services of a voice over agent. They were only found in big cities, with big offices, and only catered for clients with big budgets.
That is a really good question and you’ve actually found it. To be honest there’s hundreds of websites you can find a voice actor, but you’re also going to be given the run around by many.
Their rates may appear cheaper, but don’t be fooled, you’ll be hit with hidden fees, amateur wannabes, additional costs to listen to the audio be recorded, inferior sound and extra fees when you need to get it re-recorded again because they’ve missed your deadline!

I’ve been doing voiceovers full time since 2008, but voicing ads, promos etc was always a part of my job throughout my on air career, having worked in commercial radio since 1996.
Dan Taraborrelli is a voice talent that loves his job and was destined for success due to his passion from a young age.
Voice talent Dan Taraborrelli is having voice over success through online voice casting website The Voice Realm.
He is a frequent booker at The Voice Realm with the site introducing him to new clients such as Wells Fargo among others.
We asked him some question about his career, online voice over jobs and where he sees the future of the industry.
I’m a bit of a newbie in the industry. I started doing voice overs part-time in 2009 and had so much success that last year I decided to go full time right after my son was born. When I was a child I would imitate cartoon voices and thought it must be terrific to do that for a living. I sang in choirs and eventually developed a passion for performing arts. In college, I studied theatre and communications, volunteered for a local radio station and acted whenever I could. It wasn’t until somewhat recently that advancements in technology (and related costs) have allowed folks like me to set up shop in their own homes and be able to produce and transmit broadcast quality audio.
Finding online professional voice talent is now easier than ever before, with so many websites touting themselves to be the best.
Just as in days gone by, having a voice over agent in a big city with offices on the high floors of an expensive high rise, was pretty much needed in order to be heard by clients, you need to be showcased in the most professional light.
You don’t want to be on a voice over site where anyone can join; what’s the purpose?
Being listed alongside other professional voice actors is your first step in being presented as a professional.
Think about this. You design a product and want to get it to as many consumers as possible. Would you set up a stand on the side of the road or would you want it to be displayed in stores around the country and around the world?
Of course, you want it in front of as many eyes as possible. Just like your voice demo on a casting website.
The Voice Realm only lists professional voice actors who have been screened and vetted. The site is more than just a ‘listing site’. When exclusivity or other services are required, we negotiate with the client on the voice talent’s behalf.
The site doesn’t have voice talent underbidding each other because all rates are set.
Male and female voice actors have their own profiles to update with demos for each category they specialize in, have their own unique link, other services offered information and include a professional photo.
Our business development team source new clients and projects for voice talent. We don’t restrict how many auditions you can do. We don’t charge you over $300 a year to be listed. We don’t accept anyone who wants to join. We only accept professionals with years of experience and a track record.
We encourage you to do your own research and find out why The Voice Realm is the ultimate casting website to be listed on. Browse through our blog and read interviews with voice talent booking voice over work and building their client base through our connections and web presence.
If you’re a professional VO and ready to join us, submit your demo for consideration. But please note, we select voice talent on their ability to follow directions.

I’ve been doing voice on and off since the late 1980′s when a producer for the Jeep account asked me to audition for some spots. I didn’t land that job but I did get a job doing voice for Stroh Foods, a short lived attempt by the beer company to go into other markets.
We get into the mind of full-time voice talent Mike McGonegal to find out what he thinks of the voice over industry and his dealings here at The Voice Realm.
Professional Voice Over Talent – Mike McGonegal
I’ve been doing voice-overs full-time since late 2008 when the corporate playing field changed under my feet – essentially forcing me to go from the shallow end of the kiddie pool to the deep end of the pool over night. However, as an IT/Tech Support type for many years prior to that – I’d been using my voice daily to help clients correct problems or talk them back from the technological edge; so between that and my previous stage experience – it was a relatively easy transition.
You know the impression you get from a company that you call and there’s the amateur cheap recording on the answering machine? It makes you question the overall professionalism of the business. It makes you second guess spending your money with them.

Now think about when you call a multinational company and you hear their professional interactive voice system. It really makes a difference doesn’t it? It instils trust and helps build confidence.
