Question 1

What are the requirements to join the FlyVoiceovers roster?

Accepted Answer

We look for professional voice artists with broadcast-quality home studios. This typically means having a treated recording space, a high-quality condenser microphone, an audio interface, and professional recording software (DAW).
Most importantly is that we want people who sound like themselves.

Question 2

How should I approach the audition script to join as a voice over artist?

Accepted Answer

Read the audition script as if you are chatting with a friend in an upbeat way. Listen back on high quality headphones to check your recording space sounds very high quality, just like we'll be doing, and ensure you've hit the brief. No knocks, bumps, plosives. We reject more VOs than accept, so it's worth making sure you get it right first time.

Question 3

Is there a fee to join FlyVoiceovers?

Accepted Answer

No, it is completely free for voice over artists to join our platform. We make money by charging a higher fee to the client. There are no hidden fees or subscription costs. We send you a brief, script and fee and you take the job if it suits.

Question 4

How do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

We handle all client invoicing. Once a project is completed and you've sent us an invoice, we will transfer your payment via your preferred method (e.g., PayPal, Bank Transfer) typically within 30 days of project completion. Bear in mind if the fee is significant, we reserve the right to wait until the client has paid before paying to manage cashflow, which may well take things over 30 days.

Question 5

Can I set my own rates?

Accepted Answer

We have standardised rate cards for certain types of work (e.g. e-learning, online videos etc), but sometimes high profile jobs come in that may require a quote from you. But typically, we'll set the fee.

Question 6

Do I need to audition for projects?

Accepted Answer

Not very often actually. All the time voice over artists display their work clearly, it's easy for a client to pick out a suitable voice over artist and go ahead and book it in. Clients book directly based on your profile and demos. However, for larger or more specific projects, clients may request a custom audition with a portion of their script. We tend to weigh up the request and we'd not want to send a speculative job to lots of voice over artists if it can be avoided as the odds are stacked against you getting the job which weakens our partnership, frankly.

Question 7

How is my profile reviewed?

Accepted Answer

We personally review every application. We listen to your audio sample for quality, clarity, and performance. We also review your bio and experience to ensure you meet our standards. It can take a while, we'll be honest. But it really depends on how busy things are.
