Casting TipsWhat to do? Where to spend your valuable marketing time? Have no fear! In the first and second quarters of the new year, new budgets are generated, new projects are approved, and client’s will be looking for new voices to brand their 2015 initiatives.

Make a good first impression with these valuable folks, and your new year of Voice Over recording will be off to a solid start.

Everyone in the business wants to get their foot in the door with a voice over casting director.

You want the people who cast you to know your name and to be familiar with your work. But there is a right way to do this and a wrong way to do this.

Do it the right way, and you can create a great relationship that can generate a lot of work from that Casting Director, and provide recommendations to other networking opportunities as well.

Casting tips for securing positive relationships:

1. Be Current. Be Modern. Be in the Cloud.

It all starts with the voice over demo. We’ve preached to the high heavens about the importance of having a glorious demo, and hopefully you’ve listened. So how do you present that work of audio art that is your demo?

With email and file sharing becoming so easy and accessible, the days of sending out hard copies of your demos on CD is coming to an end.

Many Voice Over Talent are emailing mp3 copies of their demos and links to their websites rather than sending a CD of VO tracks.

A better use of said resources? Invest in a great website and branding materials to match.

Dimitry’s site is clean, clearly branded, and everything is navigable from one place. Our favorite part? His demos don’t just stream, they download.

This means casting directors and producers can save time by presenting his samples to their client’s directly, which saves Dimitry time from having to email mp3’s all day.

his site shows that Dimitry is a true professional, and gives the impression that he knows what he’s doing when it comes to Russian Voice Over, which subtly builds a feeling of trust for producers.

Be AvailableSpeaking of accessibility, make it

easy for us to contact you. Whether you’re emailing your demos and links, or snail mailing a CD, make sure all of your contact information is clear and current.The minimum we need to know is your full name, your current phone number, and your email address. It’s also helpful to include your geographical location.

Be Nice, Know Your Boundaries

Now that you’ve made it easy for someone to contact you, make sure you have a pleasant interaction. Don’t email a casting director incessantly asking for voice over work.

If they start to associate your name with endless, time consuming emails, you won’t be the first person they come to with a voice over audition.

Instead, make sure that casting directors associate you with something pleasant. It’s always nice to get a short email during the holiday season containing well wishes and an update on a couple exciting projects you’ve recently worked on.

Don’t make the email too long or too sell-y, but sending updates once in awhile can be a good reminder that you are out there and working.

everyone likes working with nice, friendly people, and over the course of several projects you may find that these Producers and Casting Directors will actually become your friends. ou may build relationships that go beyond the studio, and you guessed it, that usually leads to more work.

Don’t force these interactions but be open, be friendly, be timely in your correspondence, and know when you’re crossing the line into “creepy.”
