WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED DEMO?
A professionally produced demo offers many advantages to a voice actor and many benefits the actor will probably be unable to do for themselves.
A pro-produced demo is very skill-heavy and work intensive. Even though a finished demo is only one minute long, it can take up to 30 hours of writing original copy to suit the actor’s voiceprint. Directing, recording, listening, rough editing, fine editing, gathering the perfect music and sound effects, placing each piece in the right order…it’s NOT just 60 seconds of work!
A pro-produced demo is recorded in a sound-proof, acoustically isolated booth. The actor’s voice is captured on some of the best audio equipment, like Neumann microphones, and recorded (and edited) on industry-standard equipment and software. Add an experienced sound engineer, director and producer to the mix, who can bring years of industry experience to the process, and you’re looking at only having to do one job. Act.
An actor should focus on acting. Let the pros help you accomplish your best work.
