Three gates every voice must pass.
Quality is not only a prober voice. One misstep, and your campaign will be delayed,
- We test if the voice can sell the message. Range, authenticity, and emotional control are key. Only voices that sound “on brief” make the cut, saving you time on casting and revisions.
- Audio must be studio-grade and ready for broadcast. Our engineers review setup, consistency, and levels to ensure files drop straight into your timeline - no hiss, clipping, or re-records.
- A native speaker validates language, accent, and tone for each market. That means your brand sounds local, not “translated.”
Every artist is prepped for fast turn arounds

Talent and Scouting ManagerFAQ: Everything you need to know about custom casting and auditions
Finding the right voice for an international campaign is harder than most people expect before they’ve experienced miscasting firsthand. A fluent voice isn’t necessarily native. A clean studio demo isn’t necessarily broadcast-ready in practice. A performer who nails a neutral read might lack the commercial instincts needed for a brand with a specific tone.
We use a three-point evaluation on every talent before they’re active on client work:
Creative check: Energy, pacing, text comprehension, brand fit. Not “do they have a good voice” — but “can they deliver a commercial read, match a brand tone, and take direction.” We’re hiring performers, not just voices.
Quality check: Studio setup verified against broadcast standards. Clean microphone, proper acoustic treatment, low noise floor, consistent technical output. Home studios vary wildly. We verify before anyone touches a client project.
Native check: Genuine nationality, regional dialect accuracy, phonetic precision. This matters especially in culturally sensitive markets where an accent that sounds close enough to an outsider will immediately read as wrong to a local audience.
Talent who pass all three are onboarded with confirmed pricing, usage terms, and live availability tracking. That upfront investment is what lets us move fast when a project is urgent.
A custom audition is where shortlisted talent record a section of your actual script before you commit to any of them for the full production.
Most VO casting doesn’t work this way. On a marketplace or through a freelancer network, you pick based on a demo reel — a professional sample recorded to showcase range. Useful, but it’s not the same as hearing how a voice handles your specific brand language, your script structure, your required tone.
Here’s how ours works: you send a 30–60 second section of your script. We brief each shortlisted talent on the brand, the tone, pronunciations, the campaign context. They record it. We review the takes and send them to you with our recommendation. You select based on how the voice actually sounds on your words — not a showcase piece from three years ago.
Free. Adds 24–48 hours to the process. Substantially reduces the risk of first-session disappointment, which is expensive in both time and retake costs. Our 9/10 first-pass approval rate is directly tied to this step.
Yes. Standard VO libraries carry mainstream variants — general American, RP British, standard Spanish, standard German. They’re rarely built for regional specifics: Cork Irish versus Dublin, Sicilian versus Roman Italian, Swiss German versus Bavarian, Brazilian Portuguese versus European Portuguese at a regional level.
When we need a dialect our existing roster doesn’t cover, we scout actively. That means reaching into professional acting communities, regional casting networks, and specialist voice communities in the relevant market — not just expanding a keyword search on a global platform.
We’ve sourced children’s voices through school theatre networks, regional characters through local casting contacts, culturally specific voices for brands targeting particular communities. If the dialect exists, we can find it. If it’s genuinely rare, we’ll tell you that upfront and give you an honest timeline rather than overpromising.
One of the most common failures in international VO production. Many databases let talent list languages without rigorous verification of regional accuracy. Result: you hire someone listed as “Italian” who speaks it conversationally but isn’t native, or who is native to one Italian region but sounds wrong for your specific market.
Our native verification process:
- Nationality and background documentation at onboarding
- Regional dialect assessment — we establish exactly what variant a talent speaks natively, not just what language
- Phonetic accuracy testing for brand-critical pronunciations, including product names, taglines, and specific terminology
- For high-stakes markets — Italy, France, Japan, others where audiences are sensitive to accent authenticity — additional review by a native linguistic expert during both casting and post-production QA
A voice that sounds credible to an outsider can still ring false to a local. That failure undermines the entire campaign investment, and it’s entirely avoidable.
