Creating a VoiceOver Demo

Your Voiceover Demo is the crucial tool to making your way into voiceover…and it must be done well.

If you’re wanting to make a demo, you need to know who you are as a voice artist, and what it is about your voice that those casting are listening for.

Many people ask me if they can ‘make their own demo’. This is not ideal. In fact, all the amateur demos I’ve ever heard completely miss the mark.

That’s why you need to find a coach or a voiceover producer who is working in the mainstream, to help guide you, to give you insider knowledge of the industry, suggest where you might fit and help you put together samples of the kind of work you do best and would be most likely to be cast doing.

Getting expert training and having a demo produced is not cheap. You want to create a demo that makes you sound as though you are already a working voiceover artist.

You could expect to pay $1,000-$1,500 to create a professional sounding demo that gets listed to.

But like any business that you want to make a start it, you need to make an investment. You also want to make sure you get a return on that investment.

Once you know what you have to offer and how to deliver great work

Material from the studio practice sessions will make it easy for us to craft a demo that’s unique and memorable.

So, if this is just what you’ve been looking for…what do you want to do next?

Working with Abbe was the best thing I could have done to kick-start my voice over career. The most skilled and experienced voice over artist in the country, she’s also a wonderful, passionate teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I made my demo with Abbe and was accepted by Australia’s leading voice over agency, EM Voices. I can’t recommend her highly enough – you won’t find a teacher with more expertise in the world of voice over than Abbe. She’s the greatest.

Abbe has excellent attention to detail, focusing on every little aspect of the craft until it becomes second nature. Her personality throughout her coaching is warm, uplifting, not to mention inspirational. Her experience in the industry itself shows within each and every session, giving you the confidence to achieve your best in the booth. Throughout my demo making process Abbe chose the strongest pieces and created something that has gained attention from other studios. I can’t think of anybody else who I’d rather work with to improve my craft and help advance my voice over career.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Abbe as a personal voice coach. It was a fabulous experience! You’re in safe hands with Abbe. With so much experience in the voice over business, Abbe generously shares her wealth of knowledge. She instinctively knows how to get the best possible performance and is relentless in her pursuit of the perfect read. She is great at communicating what’s required and tailors the training to meet each individual’s needs.

A sound investment. Two thumbs up!

Cameron Bate

If it wasn’t for Abbe I would still be stuck in my bedroom yelling into my Mic, trying to impersonate the latest Harvey Norman Ad. Her insight and wisdom has helped me improve my skills and boosted my confidence in the booth, identified problem patterns and gave me a set of tools to help me trouble shoot any tricky moments that might arise.

The ‘One Dayer’ sessions are a must for any serious voice over student. The pennies keep on dropping and advice is always only a phone call away.

Abbe is a great mentor and has helped my dream come true.
