Your brief

From your idea to the microphone

There can be a world between what your client asks for, what you imagine and what the voice conveys. Your session sheet fills in as you choose.

Your answers stay on this page. The PDF keeps them.

Your brief is added to my “I’m listening” form: all that remains is to add your contact details.

I read your brief carefully: if an acronym needs checking or a name needs a pronunciation, I ask before opening the microphone.

Questions

Before the first take

Do I need to have chosen the voice over tone?

When your direction is clear, I follow it. When you are still finding the tone, I let you hear different approaches, warmer, livelier or more measured: together, we choose what serves your message. The guide to an effective brief explains the information to prepare.

My script is not final: can I brief you already?

Yes: an approximate word count is enough for an initial quote. To hear the tone before deciding, request a free custom demo on an excerpt.

Can we direct the session remotely?

Yes. With your client or team, you can direct the recording live: Source-Connect, SessionLink Pro or Cleanfeed for the audio, and Google Meet, Zoom or Teams to see each other. We adjust the tone together, take after take.

Several voices, a film series or a very large volume: let us talk directly, contact me.

A commercial, an e-learning course or another speciality? You can also build your brief using the console on my “Working with a voice actor” page.
