We often get asked by various clients if we would provide
demos to them. Our voices are speedy and as many of them record voiceover jobs daily morning, noon and night then we are more than happy to supply our clients
with demos.
But why do they need a demo? Many clients know about our voices and have heard their reels. The varied voices on our books often have
several reels showing off real voice, from corporate and explainer narration to commercials to video games and narration long form.
These voice actors are highly adept at reading a script and recording a few lines. It takes real skill to sight read a few lines with no real idea of the context and only bring content to life. Our 2000 voices are picked because they are experienced and know how to perform and take direction.

When our clients give us copy and ask for a demo we select
voices that we know will work well for them. In order to nail the job from a
demo audition read on to see what we suggest;
- Confirm receipt of the email; often demos take a few
hours to days to collate depending on the voice requirements that have
been requested. We prefer the voice to confirm they have received our
email demo request and preferably send it back by receipt!
- Record one clean take; the end client is just listening for your voice and how it fits into their large marketing mix so one take and you are good to go. The clients know that they will do various takes in a session anyway of different emotions so the demo is simply to hear their lines in your voice.
- Dropbox or email; ideally the voice pops it into
dropbox so that the client can just send the links all together.
- To produce or not to produce? Some voices do production
and often will do takes with production. If you prefer this as a voice,
please do but please always send a raw version as that is what the client
is after.
- Patience; Choosing a voice client side can take a while
due to many circumstances. Our voices are patient and understand that it
can take a while for projects to get off the ground.
So, if you need one of our voiceovers and you are after a bespoke demo then please get in touch Our ocean of voices would be happy to help.
