Animation voice overs

Give the drawing a voice it deserves.

An animated character is only half made until someone speaks for it. The voices here have played heroes, henchmen, talking animals and the narrator who explains it all. Auditions are free.

  • Free auditions of your script
  • Published rates, no haggling
  • Options, not one careful read

Faces you can hear.

Each of these has a character or animation demo. Listen for expression: the voice has to do the work the animator's eyebrows will do later.

Voices who record this kind of work. Names are first names only until you book.

Character and animation voices
What animation needs

A sketch, a scratch track, and alternates.

Cast from the drawing

Send the character design, even rough. A face tells a voice actor more about pitch and energy than a paragraph does.

Record before you animate

Most animation is timed to the voice, not the other way round. Book the reads first, animate to the takes you choose, and lip-sync stops being a fight.

Options on every line

Ask for three takes per line: as written, bigger, and something the voice thinks of. The third one is often the keeper.

How hiring works here

Three steps, no middleman.

You deal with the voice, the site holds the money, and the price is the one on the rate card before you start.

1

Post a casting, or pick a voice

Paste a few lines of your script and post a free casting; voices who suit it read those lines back to you. Already heard the one you want? Book them straight from their profile.

2

Choose from real reads

Auditions arrive as recordings of your words in their voice, usually within hours. Pick the one that fits, or none of them. Nothing is owed until you book.

Character and animation reads carry a loading on the rate card; explainer-style animation with a straight narrator is priced as narration.

Questions people ask

Animation questions, answered.

Should I record the voice before or after animating?
Before, almost always. Animators time mouths and gestures to the performance, so choose your takes first. If the animation already exists, book the read as synced and send the video.
Can one actor voice several characters in my cartoon?
Often yes, which helps continuity and budget. Cast the lead carefully and ask that voice what else they can cover.
Do you have voices for children's animation?
Yes: adults who play children convincingly and real young voices where a production needs them. Say which in the casting.
How is animation voice over priced?
By word count with a character loading, on the published rate card. An explainer animation with a straight narrator is priced as plain narration.

Say the line. Watch it come alive.

Send the sketch and three lines, hear animation voices audition them free, and cast the one that made the drawing move.
