2 words that have become very important to me, and they save a lot of trouble: Auditions and deadlines.

I generally ignore messages saying I'll get an audition, because auditions rarely...

This is the last day for this audition. Anyone still has a chance to get the role. The actors who auditioned will be notified via email if they get the role.

Need to stay on the first page.

This kind of attitude is the bane of many first time producers. Others have pointed out warning signs of an over confident/naive/lazy producer which it would be much better to look for, rather than...

Awarding auditions by default. Even if the only auditioner has the right voice, only having one to choose from, especially for a major role, really puts you over the barrel if the VA awarded the role...

There is only a week left on this audition. I would prefer not to award the role by default, so keep the auditions coming in.

If you don't believe you can sing, consider auditioning anyway. Just remember, you place yourself at a disadvantage if someone equally talented with an equally suitable voice who can sing auditions....

Not to worry, as soon as I've found the new voice for Rachael, I'll be opening up another audition shortly after with a couple more female roles. Plus, there is another audition after that with a...

If you know anyone who might be interested in this role, please tell them about the audition.

This audition is now closed. Thanks to Nicole and Melissa for auditioning. They will be notified of the result via email.

Recasting via scouting. I hate it hate it hate it! Auditions are bad enough for low results, but I've had a run of bad luck with scouting lately, with scouts either going unanswered or requested...

I can do one better. Needing to do an emergency scout because the last VA's beliefs were in conflict with the 2nd script, then having to wait at least a week just to confirm a VA's suitability for...

Lack of auditions is a pain in the tail. Seriously! This is actually why I chose to break my audition down into 3 parts. In my case, it worked out because some of the characters were only needed for...

One tip I've been given, as far as making someone sound like they're outside is to apply a highpass filter. I couldn't tell you an exact setting, but I would experiment with a cutoff from as low as...

Worse than not finding a suitable effect is finding the right effect but it's dirty or low quality. Finding the effects is the part of producing I hate and causes me the biggest headaches. Well, that...

Voice actors, declaring themselves available for scouting, not having the courtesy to send back a response to a scout saying "not interested" when some time was clearly taken to present them with all...

I just went through this very thing, most annoying.





Funny thing is, I got some of the best auditions at the last minute. Maybe good actors just happen to have found it late, or maybe...

Before getting a better microphone, take the time to learn about a piece of audio recording software, and learn how to record with your internal mic. I use audacity on Windows. Audacity can also run...

If anyone has suggestions for how I might make use of accent learning materials as an Australian, considering most learning material is made for people with the general American accent, that would be...

The Yeti is definitely a higher quality mic than the Snowball. I own both, and I've used both, and I prefer the Yeti. It's the only mic I've ever used that made me think my voice might actually sound...

I am one producer who decided, on the advice of Julie Hoverson, to do a short demo to demonstrate my current ability to produce audio. Let me tell you, that was one hell of a learning experience.
...

Not being able to maintain a consistent accent or voice for more than 30 seconds, then forgetting how to do a voice I liked. Thus the reason I don't list myself as a voice actor. That, and I don't...

Today is the last day to get auditions in for Soulmates. I still need auditions for Yvonne, Walter, and Jason.

At this stage, I will allow generic character demos to be sent, but to get a role,...

All roles that are listed are open. If for any reason a role is no longer available for audition, it will be removed.

Because I don't have previous work to show potential voice actors, I have prepared a production demo to demonstrate my current production ability. The production demo can be found at...
