Bare walls and hard floors: a recipe for echo \u00a9 The Voice Realm<\/p><\/div>\n
Here are some of the main reasons we reject talent. It’s also essentially the difference between a professional voice talent<\/a> and someone ‘not quite there.’ The online voice over industry is more cutthroat than ever before. It is imperative that clients are presented with only the best voice actors. Voice talent need to be able to follow direction as the majority of voice over jobs<\/a> need to be self-produced.<\/p>\n Clients expect quick turnaround and professional service. They have many options and websites to find a voice, therefore customer service and their experience with the site is one of the most important factors.<\/p>\n This also means that clients are being made aware more and more that they get what they pay for. If they pay $20 on one of those freelance sites, they can expect to have problems. Voice talent will not adhere to deadlines, not include revisions, not respond to messages in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

Audio has a hiss or is generally not to the standard a client would expect from a professional voice.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
Room ambience produces an echo.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
Not following instructions. If the instructions say ‘submit a dry demo’ don’t submit one with music or effects.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
Not answering all questions asked.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
A voice has an ego. (THIS might have worked 10 years ago, but not ANYMORE)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
