Voiceover Process

First off, as I know time is important, I’ll generally turnaround a first draft on any non-long-form script within 24 hours. Gets the ball rolling and provides some quick feedback to build with.

I try to keep email back-and-forth to a minimum.

To achieve this, I’ll request a big info-dump in the first email or two:

  • Script (of course)

  • Style notes

  • Reference voiceover/video (if available)

  • Chosen backing track (if available)

  • Negative information can also be very useful, what music DIDN’T work last time, which style DIDN’T you like when the previous voiceover artist tried it out.

The more of these we get sorted before cracking on with work, the better the chance we get one of those sweet one-take’ers.

After you’ve given all this I’ll record a first draft, you review it, and send back feedback. We continue this carousel until you’re happy. Then I clean up the file of any pops, breaths, and mouth noises… et voila! Final delivery.
