Character voice over
Character voice over made to your brief.
A character voice is a performance, not a read: it needs range, a consistent voice across hundreds of lines and a casting process built around who the character is.
Why it works
What matters in character voice over
Three things that decide how this work turns out.
- 01
Cast to the character
Actors audition from a character brief, so you hear the character, not just a voice.
- 02
Consistent across lines
The same performance is held across hundreds of lines and recording days.
- 03
Retakes without drift
Pickups are matched to the original sessions.
