AUSTRALIAN MALE VOICE TALENT

The ageless controversy over equal pay for equal work has always been a non-event for Australian male Voice Talent.

In Australia, gender is not an issue in determining how much to pay the person standing in front of the microphone.

However there are many other factors that will determine the fee for an Australian male voice over. These include whether the recording is for use on broadcast media, TV and radio.

Or it will be heard on non-broadcast medium like the Internet or a corporate video used at Expos and Trade Shows.

Fees will also take into account whether the script requires the actor to portray a particular character like Santa.

If the voice is going to be used for a political campaign there will be a loading particularly where the talent is identified by name.

So when you specify Australian male Voice Talent, the actor will receive equal reward.

 

COUNTING WORDS

If pricing a voice recording sounds complicated that’s because to the uninitiated it is!

There is good news. Despite all the loadings and variants there is one constant in the formula and that’s the number of words in the script.

Having said all that, the quickest and easiest way to establish how much you’ll pay for any voice over is to ask Media Group for a free quote.

 

FIND THE FEE FOR FREE

When you decide to use a particular voice artist from Media Group’s huge selection of talent you’ll receive an online free quote. How easy is that?

The news is all good. If you plan to record a script or scripts that total more than 60 seconds you can also request a “free demo”.

For the free demonstration Media Group will arrange your selected voice talent to provide a sample of them reading a segment from your script. This way you can be really certain you have chosen the right voice for the job.

 

DO IT ALL ONLINE

Continuing in the good news vein, when working with Media Group, the business audio specialists, you get the convenience and efficiency of doing everything online.

VOICE MARKETPLACE

THE DREAMER

The challenge of finding the best voice talent for a project has traditionally been an area of poor time management and soul destroying frustration.

In my early years producing advertising I dreamed of being able to access a Voice Marketplace. Somewhere I could audition professional voice over artists without chasing all over to various studios and agents.


Back then I would have gladly taken the train across town and stood in line at the check-out if I knew I would be successful in finding that ever illusive set of tonsils.

 

THE REALISATION

Today that pipe dream is a reality. I’m not talking about a place named the Voice Marketplace, but something far better.

A company dedicated to business audio solutions.

A firm where I can audition professional voice talent with no obligations and no time restrictions. At any time of day I can listen to sample recordings by all the various voice artists.

A place where I can share the samples with a colleague or two so we can draw up a shortlist of voice artists who we believe are right for the job.

At the same time being able to get an accurate estimate of costs and the availability of the selected talent. No joy in recommending a voice only to find out she’s on maternity leave or he’s gone fishing.

 

THE SOLUTION

While the word marketplace is not in the name, the answer to locating the voice you need is Media Group, the business audio specialists.

When you work with Media Group everything happens on line. Auditioning the talent. On line quotes. You can even arrange a free demo of the chosen talent recording an extract from your script.

The free demo makes the process of choosing a new voice talent totally foolproof.

So take advantage of the online convenience Media Group provides. Bring the voice marketplace to your place. www.mediagroup.com.au

COMMERCIAL JINGLES

LOOKING INTO THE UNSTOPPABLE POWER OF COMMERCIAL JINGLES: TURNING BRANDS INTO MELODIES.

There is a lot of change and competition in the advertising world, and people's attention spans could be shorter. But commercial jingles have stood the test of time and are still very effective. These short, catchy songs have a fantastic way of sticking in our minds, turning brands into tunes long after the TV or radio stops playing them.


THE SONIC SIGNATURE: A LOOK INTO HOW COMMERCIAL JINGLES CAN BE MAGICAL

In marketing, where visuals often get people's attention, advertising jingles stand out because they appeal to the sense of hearing. Audio clips from songs can be used as a brand's sound signature, leaving a lasting effect on listeners. Look at this: A few bars of "I'm Lovin' It" by McDonald's or Intel's famous song will take you to a world full of new technology and golden arches.

The appeal comes from these tunes being simple and easy to remember. In just a few seconds, commercial jingles can show a brand's personality, make people feel something, and, most importantly, hold their attention like a catchy tune.

A LOOK AT HOW COMMERCIAL JINGLES HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME, FROM CATCHY TO ICONIC

When they were first played on radio, commercial jingles were very different from today's. These started as simple melodies that were easy to sing along to, but now they've grown into complex musical productions that often include famous musicians and artists. As an example, think about the ad for Oscar Mayer Wiener. The fact that this tune is still going strong after all these years shows that a well-written jingle can stand the test of time.

With the growth of technology, commercial jingles have easily switched from radio to TV and now to digital media. When brands use these melodic pieces in social media clips and music for mobile apps, they ensure that their sound is always with customers, no matter where they are.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS ABOUT CAPTIVATION

Recently, have you thought about why some advertising jingles are so catchy? There is science behind it. These kinds of songs usually have simple structures, themes played repeatedly, and catchy words. Together, they create an interesting auditory loop in our minds. According to psychological studies, jingles are more accessible to remember when they are short and repeated. This turns a brand's message into a catchy mantra that people sing along to without meaning.

FUTURE HARMONY: NEW IDEAS IN SONIC BRANDING

Smart speakers and immersive audio experiences will rule the future. As a result, advertising jingles will continue to change what they do. Sonic branding is a strategy that is becoming more and more popular for building a brand's sound character. Businesses on the cutting edge are investing in unique audio logos and flexible jingles that can work with various touchpoints along the customer path.

In the search for new ways to get people to pay attention, the long-lasting appeal of commercial jingles shows that sometimes, just a few notes are enough to turn a product into a timeless tune. The next time you find yourself singing along to a well-known song, remember that it's not just an ad but a symphony of brilliant marketing.

ON-HOLD MUSIC AND MESSAGE COMPANIES

DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE ON HOLD MUSIC

If you want to break the silence, you can use on-hold music for your on-hold music and message companies for several reasons:

 

CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE.

Recorded messages can be played over the music while people are on hold and listening to music. These messages can tell people which departments they can reach by pressing certain buttons, or giving them more information, wait times, and more. The hold process can sometimes be used to answer customer questions, but not all the time. Customer: They might call to change their account. It might be enough for them to see a message telling them they can do this on a website or app. They might not even need to speak to someone to do this, which would free up the line.

 

MAKING TIME GO FASTER

Study: Time goes by a lot faster when you're on hold, and there's music playing. Similarly, if you're on hold and there is no music, it makes the wait seem even longer. Music can make customers feel like they were answered faster if you play it for them while they wait, so that might be the case.

 

TAKING CARE OF THE CALLER

As we've already said, the right music choice makes all the difference. The wrong choice can make your caller angry, so they're already unhappy when they get through to someone. Making a phone call to a business can make some people feel stressed. Relaxing music that doesn't sound cheesy or repetitive can help people have a better time at your place of business.

 

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ADD MESSAGES THAT ARE ON HOLD MUSIC.

Including messages can help customers get to the correct department quickly without waiting for a transfer. It can also tell them about how long they'll have to wait and what kinds of services you offer. So if you run a spa, you can put messages on your phone; that tell people about specific treatments and prices, so they know what to expect when they call.

 

CONCLUSION

For each time the caller is put on hold, say, "I'm so sorry." "We're sorry that you have to wait so long. As soon as we can, we will answer your call. Your call is critical to us." Many people don't like the message after they hear it for the twentieth time while they wait on hold for half an hour. It also doesn't feel very personal because it's a message that's been sent over and over again. It also stops the on-hold music and makes people think their call is being answered, making them angrier.
