VoiceOver LA’s narration demo workflow includes pre-production, recording, dialogue-editing, custom music editing, sound effects, mixing, and mastering. Our producers create custom narration copy and associated scenes with you; they’re produced specifically for your vocal DNA and potential booking demographic. Your variety of reads over custom music cues and sound effects results in a confident, engaging, easily directable voice with a wide range that’s ready for booking.
Our recording process is an intense 90-120 minute session with multiple producers present on the front end. Scene by scene, phrase by phrase. A variety of direction, not just different scripts. Only the best ones make it. Just like what happens when producing a movie, a bunch of B-material never makes it to the final product. Our reels give casting directors want.
Our dialogue editorial includes de-click, de-breath, de-plosive, pitch, timing, and pacing adjustment to give you a wider range. No cheesy canned music samples. Our company has blanket usage agreements from a variety of music libraries. Professional music editors tailor each cue to fit the read (speed, pitch, breaks). Sound designers with film experience take your scenes to the next level. Right on to the next spot. Repeat. Win. Then it goes to mix. We mix it like a movie.
Our narration reels are properly compressed through a broadcast signal chain to emulate the end platform. Filter. EQ. Compression. De-ess. Multiband Compression. Final brick wall limiter to -13LUFS loudness standard. Mono compatibility checked. Digital compression to MP3 checked. QC’d by talent. Delivery is a final hi-res master in addition to an optimized MP3. We also deliver isolated music and dialogue stems to future-proof the reel.
