Voice Over Marketplace to Hire Voice Actors

Given the growing number of inexperienced people entering the voice business these days, it’s a real challenge to Hire Freelance Voiceover Actors.

Not too long back recording a voice to broadcast standard required a considerable investment in studio equipment.

Enter the digital age. Now for a few thousand dollars every man and his canine companion can set up a recording facility just about anywhere.

When you need to Hire Freelance Voiceover Actors you’re likely to spend more time sifting through the amateur ranks sorting the sheep from more sheep.

 

WILL WE GET RAMMED ANYWAY?

There is only one sure way to decide if a voice over artist is right for the job. You have to hear the voice in action.

Media Group, the business audio specialists, know how things work. So hiring the best professional voice artist for any project requires an audition. No sweat.

Just as the digital age made recording more accessible, now you can do all your voice over auditions online.

A few mouse clicks or screen taps on the Media Group website will reveal access to sample recordings from a fantastic range of professional voices.

Note the operative word here is “professional”. You can Hire Freelance Voiceover Actors from just about anywhere, but when the going gets going you might be sorry you left out the “pro” bit in your search.

 

ONE STEP PAST THE AUDITION

When you have arrived at the Media Group website click on the microphone symbol next to the heading Voice Overs.

You’ll be presented with a range of choices. Do you want a voice for TV, radio, a corporate video, or an e-learning project? Do you prefer a male or female voice artist? What age group? From which country?

All the voice over artists for hire have been categorized to assist your search. You will also see a short description of the voice’s character like “smooth, mature corporate” or “lively, vibrant retail” etc.

Telephone Answering Message Service

We all know first impressions count. Not just in romance but this cliché is especially true in business.

So why do some firms continue to risk projecting the wrong impression by using poor quality DIY recordings on their telephones?

It’s one of those illogical mysteries born out of misguided frugality and plain old fashioned penny-pinching. The practice is even more baffling these days with the changes to business operations brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.

However there is a convenient, online and cost effective solution to the problem. You simply need to use the professional Phone Message Services provided by Media Group, the business audio specialists.

IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

If you make a call and all you hear is an amateur voice telling you to “wait in line” you won’t be favourably impressed. In fact you’ll probably feel like hanging-up and calling a competitor.

This DIY approach is heard in businesses of all sizes. However it seems most prevalent in the medical profession. For some reason Doctors seem to be happy projecting an image of “near enough is good enough”.

Beyond the initial contact of the Welcome Message a business also has to consider the other areas where Phone Message Services will be most valuable.

After Hours Messages are an ideal way to demonstrate to callers that you really do care for their business. Properly worded, well recorded announcements spoken by a professional male of female voice over artist will leave the best impression.

You’ll be able to communicate your normal hours of operation. Plus your phone system may allow you to record a message and offer to return the call.

KEEP THE CALLER SATISFIED

If your caller is invited to stay “on hold”, you can have Media Group prepare an informative and entertaining program of music and messages. This will help reduce the number of those tempted to hang-up and call one of your rivals.

The outlay for a fully professional on hold program is insignificant in the big picture of retaining existing customers and favourably impressing new callers.

Audio Visual Solutions

 Get heard. Be seen.

The A/V business has come a long way since the 1970’s. Back then the UK company Audio Sonic pioneered the industry’s development “down under”. In those years a rear-screen audio/visual presentation was viewed with intrigue.

Audiences marvelled as the audio synchronised imagery appeared without a trace of the hardware driving the show. Meanwhile behind the screen banks of clunky Kodak projectors clattered through carousel cartridges loaded with Ektachrome slides.

Today Audio Visual Solutions For Business are digitally based. Infinitely superior in appearance, versatility and portability.

So many ways to get noticed.

Static displays in public places and throughout an organisation present vibrant digital signage designed to excite customer interest and enhance the surroundings.  

Even a standard internet connection will deliver IPTV shows and movies.

At trade events and conferences Audio-Visual presentations entertain and inform audiences in novel and memorable ways.

As reading becomes more of a chore to modern tech-savvy consumers, company websites resort to video presentations to spoon feed prospects with all the benefits of new products and services.

However the ease of creating stunning imagery using a phone camera and laptop is often undermined by crappy audio.

There’s no doubt Covid-19 has helped us become accustomed to fuzzy pictures and un-synched sound via “Skype” and “Zoom”. But listeners still cringe at poorly written scripts recorded by amateur voice talent.  It doesn’t have to be this way.

Pro quality audio is just a click away.

Creating quality Audio Visual Solutions For Business is a no-brainer. When you wish to produce A/V material to showcase your company’s products and services take the fast road to success with Media Group, the business audio specialists.

You can still save production costs by shooting the visuals on your own camera. But you can make the giant leap to a fully slick A/V by having Media Group produce the sound track.

You’ll get to choose the right voice to represent your business from their range of professional Voice Over Artists. Plus you’ll save a bundle by selecting tracks to accompany the voice from the Media Group Library of Royalty Free music.

Tips for Working with Voice-Over in Corporate Video Projects

Companies making training videos for staff inductions or OHS, often skimp on the audio. The pictures may look great, but the voice? The word “stinks” might be too kind even if the MD was the one who recorded the script.

Instead of using someone from the front office, hire a professional voice over artist to read your script. You’ll be surprised how little cost is involved, but the results will be instantly beneficial.

Using a professional voice will add impact to the script. It will lift the production values of the video and reinforce the importance of the message.

The audience will appreciate the extra clarity in the reading and be more likely to remember the salient points.

Above all, having a professional voice artist on your video will enhance the company’s image as an organisation where quality is important and short-cuts are never tolerated.

As business audio specialists Media Group offers an extensive selection of male and female professional voice artists. To help you make a choice you can hear samples of their work online; click here.

Professional Voicemail Greetings to Engage Your Callers

When a client or new business prospect calls, get started by giving them the best impression. Let them know they are dealing with an organisation that knows how to project the right “image”.

The quickest and best way to achieve this is through the use of Professional Phone Greetings. When the call is answered customers should hear a welcome message spoken by an experienced voice artist. The message should be clear, well written, and recorded in a proper audio studio.

First impressions last.

Your callers should be left with the feeling that you care about them and you value their support. This is even more important when all your phone lines are busy and you have to place a caller ”on hold”.

Nobody likes waiting in line, but having Professional Phone Greetings can go a long way to softening the blow. They will also help avoid callers hanging-up and taking their business elsewhere.

Your recorded greeting might incorporate an Auto Attendant feature also known as an Interactive Voice Response or IVR. This facility allows the call can be directed to a particular department or destination; Press 1 for Sales, Press 2 for Service, etc.

The caller may also be invited to speak with Reception or stay on the line and talk to the first available member of your team.

Keeping it professional.

At Media Group, the business audio specialists, you can take advantage of the company’s vast resources and experience in creating and delivering the very best in telephone messages.
