The other day I was talking to a friend who is on one of the on-line casting sites. Like many people he is doing lots of auditions but barely getting any jobs.<\/p>\n
So he did some research, listened to the work of the talents who were booking a lot and had a BIG scary Halloween moment of truth. <\/p>\n
He heard 5 things they were doing differently that he needed to fix if he was going to up his game.<\/p>\n
The first was his audio quality. He was recording from his kitchen table and it sounded like it. Hollow and echo-y, you could even hear a clock ticking in the background.<\/p>\n
He thought ” It’s only an audition. They’ll get the idea.”<\/p>\n
This was his first mistake. They don’t get the idea. <\/p>\n
Voice buyers assume that what you send them is how a real job would sound. They expect every audition to be broadcast quality and if it’s not, they hit delete. <\/p>\n
The talent who are booking the most get this. They make sure the audio quality of everything that leaves their home studio is pristine.<\/p>\n
