How to Hire a Voice Actor with Voquent - Voquent

With 30k approved voice actors from around the world, the voice you’re looking for is just waiting to be discovered.

When casting talent with Voquent, search filters are the best way to find the voice you’re looking for.

The Voquent search bar allows you to narrow your search using a range of filters, letting you find the perfect voice for your project’s specific requirements.

Watch our quick video guide below, or keep reading to learn how to find the right voice actors for your production.

 

Why Cast Talent with Voquent?

At Voquent, our voice actor search lets you filter for the exact requirements of your project. This includes:

Language, accent, gender, location, age, pitch, vocal tones and characteristics, project medium, style, experience level, and more!

You can combine filters to search for the exact voice you need with pre-approved demo samples to listen to, so there’s no need for hundreds of auditions.

If you need a remote voice actor, look for the home studio and verified home studio icons. All verified talent has worked with us before, so we have already tested and approved their audio quality, guaranteeing your project superior sound.

With 30,000 approved voice actors worldwide, casting in any language or accent has never been more efficient.

 

How to Cast Talent

Generally, you will want to cast in one of two ways:

Either you will determine the role you are casting for by filtering sound and emotion, such as accent and vocal characteristics, or you will determine the voice actor by narrowing down their identity and location, such as their age and home city.

Sound and Emotion (Characters)

If you can already imagine the voice you’re looking for in your head, and the voiceover will be produced remotely, then you should filter based on the voice itself in our demo search.

You can narrow down your search by language, gender, accent, vocal age, tone, pitch, vocal characteristics, style, medium, and keyword tags. This allows you to efficiently browse voice demos that are pre-categorised for your project’s needs.

Identity and location (Talent)

Producing voiceovers on-location requires talent in a specific area, and authentic casting means determining the identity of the voice actor as much as the character.

To help you find the talent you need, you can filter your search by age, nativity, additional languages for bilingual projects, experience level, other abilities such as on-camera acting, lip-sync, singing, and mocap, session requirements such as remote recording and live direction, location, and whether the talent can travel.

You can also combine your talent and demo requirements in one search, ensuring that, for example, you are listening to commercial-style demos from voice actors based in your home city. Easy!
