When working in video production you will find the need to hire talent. For us, we hire voice over actors and on-camera talent all the time for a variety of different videos and broadcast spots.
It's crucial to have the right sound and look. A lot goes into searching for the perfect person and/or voice.
For example, if you're creating a video for a child's learning tutorial you will want a voice to be easy to understand with a positive tone. You would typically want to hire a female voice actor, but not in all cases.
Most of the time your client will have a distinct direction of how they want their video to sound which makes the process much easier.
Things to consider when you're hiring talent:
*Do you need a female or male actor?
*Is this a voice-actor or on-camera talent?
*Age range?
*Ethnicity?
*Union or Non-Union?
*If on-camera, are there speaking lines?
*What's the usage? How long will this video be used and from which outlets, radio, TV, online?
*What is the demographic? Who will be seeing this video?
*Budget and pricing?
*Do you need local talent or can they come from out of town, if so what are their travel expenses?
These are just a few questions you will want to ask. As you can see, there's a lot that goes into finding that perfect person for your video or broadcast spot.
