There are people who have a great speaking voice or can change it to copy characters and even make their own. This talent can be put to use to earn extra money or even make it as main source of income. It only needs some practice and training for it to be fully developed so that it would have versatility and better quality.

Although there is no formal training required to make this your profession, there is an advantage of taking voice acting lessons to better control it. This is important because professional voice talent people are there to help sell products and put life to animated characters in movies or shows. That is why it is advantageous to have some training for versatility and learning to pay attention to details.

The following are some advices in searching for a voice talent in the project you have in the works currently. Start by searching online for those in your area who are offering their service and the usual results are websites from agencies or top artists. There is a list of talents you can select from depending on the requirements of your project.

Ask your family members and friends for recommendations on someone they know that is offering this type of work. The reasons would be told to you on why they recommend them and how they were able to know them. Look for their name in the online search results and if you have found them then it shows they are confident in marketing themselves unlike others.

The online pages about them would provide you with every necessary information about them before you even meet them. This includes all the companies and projects they were able to be a part of and their training and educational backgrounds. Some even have demos available for listening their voice for you to check out.

Use all the things you found in narrowing down on who to hire depending on the kind you need for your project. Contact them and set a schedule for interview to ask further questions and have them do some sample reading. This is a way to check their professionalism by the way they answer your inquiries.

You can then try their vocal abilities during the interview and how varied their styles are and if they are the right fit for you. This is also the time to let them read the script and observe if they can deliver it the way you want it to. They may even have some suggestions on interesting ways in interpreting the script which might be better.

Request for references to know how it is like working with them from their previous employers. By talking to them, you would know if the talent is able to give it their best during their previous projects and work professionally. Review some of their work and demos to get a better feel of their voice.

Inquire about their asking rate and if it is preferable for them to be paid per hour or per project. This depends usually on the kind of work they would be doing for you. Knowing these things would be a great help in searching for the talent you need.
