If you’re planning on ordering a voice over on Fiverr for your business, then rest assured you’ve made the right decision! You’re going to receive a professional, studio quality product from one of Fiverr’s hundreds of 5 star, top rated, unique voices. While you can trust the instincts of these professional voice over artists, there are still a few tips and tricks you should know to make sure you get exactly the voice over that you were dreaming of!
1. Be Clear About What You Want
We want to see your business succeed, that’s why we are here on Fiverr: To help you! Let us know exactly how you’d like us to sound. Link us to examples of what you’re looking for and we will certainly strive to match your vision.
2. Read it Out Loud, First
You want to make sure that your grammar and sentence structure is as professional as your business. Read your script out loud to help with proofreading. This also helps with timing your script. (Generally 85 words is a great length for a 30 second spot, and 150 words is great for a 60 second spot.)
If English isn’t your first language, native English speakers might be able to tell from the way your script is written. Have a fluent friend proofread your script or hire one of Fiverr’s great copywriters to help you out. It’s only $5!
3. Try Out a Bunch of Us
Voice Over Artists on Fiverr charge up to 95% less than the industry standard for non-union voice over! For such a steal, starting at only $5, give a few different sellers a try and you’ll get a unique variety to choose from!
4. Provide Pronunciations
If you have any non-obvious words, names, brand names, or industry specific terms in your script, please let us know how to pronounce them. Remember, it may seem obvious to you, but it might not to us. Also, if you use an acronym in your script, like “CAT”, let us know if we should pronounce it “cat” or “C.A.T.” We want to deliver a perfect voice over the first time, because we know you want it done right the first time!
5. WAV or MP3?
It’s common not to know which file format is right for your needs. WAV files are a much larger, uncompressed file and MP3s are a compressed and smaller file. MP3s are great for audio books, smartphone apps, or if you have a size constraint on your video. The smaller the video size, the faster it loads! If you’re hiring one of Fiverr’s talented creators of explainer videos, ask them which format they prefer before ordering your voice over.
For voicemails, each IVR company has different requirements. Check with your IVR provider to see what their specifications are.
With these helpful tips, you can be sure that a Fiverr voice over will make your business sound as professional as if you paid the big bucks!
