Bridging the gap between clients and VO talents

Bringing the voice over artist and client together is one of the main objectives of DirectVoices. No filters between them, no brokers, no intermediaries. The Internet voiceover market is now mature enough to allow this one-on-one contact.

We know that forging closer relationships between these two parties will ultimately lead to greater understanding, enhanced trust and an improved experience for both the talent and the voice seeker. And frankly for the patient voice talent this results in more business.

The internet has changed the voice over world forever. With new opportunities opening up for the VO artist in the digital world, the way a VO talent works with a client has changed as well. Everything can be done remotely now. It doesn’t matter where the VO artist or the VO seeker are located, DirectVoices can bring them together, using a series of tools on this membership site.

Historically producers used to like working with VO artists who were literally on their doorstep and who they could meet face to face. The advent of online voice over services has been a game-changer in relation to this. Hiring a voice talent online is now seen as quicker, easier and less expensive, especially if there is no agency commission to pay. It’s also true that the quality of home studios has improved so producers know that they can work with a voice over artist remotely and still get high quality audio delivered for their project.

DirectVoices has recognised the growth of global online voice over services and has made it easy for the voice seeker and voice talent to come together. Through a simple user interface the voice seeker can locate the voice they want, get in touch with the artist through the chat facility, and discuss the detail of their project directly with them.

How the relationship develops from there is strictly between the talent and the client. From the initial contact through DirectVoices , further discussion and negotiation can take place through the normal channels of email, Skype or whatever the preferred communication channel might be.

Unlike other voice over membership sites, DirectVoices has recognised the importance of opening up that dialogue so that the nuances of a given project can be discussed directly between the talent and the client. These nuances might include voice over style, script interpretation and type of audio file.

Through open discussions a client can explain the specifics of a project and what they are trying to achieve and the VO talent can describe how they can fit the needs of the project and deliver to the standards required. This shared understanding will give the client what they want and will give the VO artist the appropriate platform to set a fair price for their services. Everyone’s a winner!
