Your voice-over demo is your portfolio. It\u2019s the best representation of your voice range and acting abilities. A voice-over demo is what you need to market yourself as a voice-over actor.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Different Types of Voice-Over Demos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different types of voice-over demos for varying types of voice-over work. To market yourself as a commercial voice-over <\/a>actor, you need a commercial demo. To market yourself as an audiobook narrator, you need an audiobook demo, and so on. The length of the demo also depends on the type of demo that it is. Commercial demos are typically shorter in length (45-60 seconds), while audiobook demos are done in 2-3 minute samples of each genre you want to narrate in.. Other types of demos include narration<\/a>, animation<\/a>, video game, IVR, corporate narration<\/a>, and promo to name a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Creates Voice-Over Demos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very important in this industry that you don\u2019t try to create the voice-over demo by yourself. There are many reasons for this. First, an amateur demo can be spotted a mile away and you only have one chance to make a first impression. Second, you want to make sure that the copy (voice-over demo scripts) and music are appropriate to use legally and a great representation of your voice. Third, you want to focus on what you\u2019re the best at. As a voice-over actor, your strength is voice acting so it\u2019s not ideal to try to be the best at editing, mastering and producing as well. Leave those to the pros in that area! Lastly, even if you have a great ear and know what a voice-over demo is supposed to sound like, you still want someone else directing you and producing it for you. Even the top pros hire other pros to produce their demos. It\u2019s always best to have another set of eyes and ears on something as important as a voice-over demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do You Do With a Voice-Over Demo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With today\u2019s technology, almost all voice-over marketing is done online. So your voice-over demo should be recorded as a high quality WAV file and then converted into an .MP3 file to upload to websites. Your .MP3 should be a small enough file to email. When you\u2019re marketing yourself to prospective clients, you can either email a link to where your demos are posted or email them an .MP3 directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Often Should I Re-Record My Voice-Over Demos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since your voice-over demo should always be the best representation of you, it\u2019s recommended to re-record (or at least reassess and perhaps switch out a piece or two) as you continue to grow as a talent and\/or when your voice changes. If you\u2019re a nine- year-old doing voice-over (and yes, there are many opportunities for child voice-overs), by the time you\u2019re thirteen you won\u2019t sound the same. Also you want to make sure your demo is always relevant to the times, meaning in content and industry standard. If you have a spot on your demo with a store that has gone out of business, that\u2019ll automatically date your demo. If your demo is significantly longer than current trends, it\u2019ll stand out in a poor way as well. Every year you should reassess your demo and make sure that it\u2019s still a great representation of you, and that the spots are still relevant and current with the voice-overs you hear today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
