How to Brief a Voiceover Artist for the Best Results

The single biggest factor in getting a great voiceover read isn't the actor's talent — it's the quality of the brief. A clear brief saves everyone time and gets you a better result, faster.

What to include

Tell your voice actor who the audience is, what tone you're after (and what to avoid), any reference reads you like, pacing expectations, and where the piece will be used. Even a one-line description like 'warm and conversational, not salesy' makes a real difference.

Reference audio helps more than adjectives

Adjectives like 'energetic' or 'professional' mean different things to different people. If you have a reference read you like — even from a completely different project — share it. It's the fastest way to get aligned.
