I will not misrepresent your current level of talent. I guarantee my work insofar that it will sound professional, archival, puts forth your best vocal performances from your demo recording session, flatters your voice in the best possible way and ultimately will be an accurate representation of your current spoken word performance ability. What you do with your voice demo afterwards is up to you. Doing that will reflect negatively on my good reputation. That’s why I won’t produce your demo if you suck.
#Todd schick demos professional
I’ve also been hired, as a professional VO talent, by hundreds of different people from all facets of the VO industry and therefore, have keen insight into what casting directors, producers and corporations listen for when hiring voice talent.įinally, I have a superb production library, stacks and stacks of professional scripts culled from 25+ years of auditions and recording sessions and the skills to back it all up to put your demo together.Īlso, in some cases, I’ll send material out to other producers to get a different sound in the mix – something no-one else does. )!Ĭonsider that I hire VO talent all the time. If I produce your demo, it’s because I firmly believe you have talent for the work and will be able to recoup your cost for my service in about a year or so – providing you market yourself properly and the audio from your home studio doesn’t suck…. Ultimately, your talent gets you the gig……the demo merely gets you in the front door. Simply because I’m very good at picking out the good talent from the bad. What makes you qualified to produce my voice demo, Todd?Įvery single person I’ve produced a demo for (or had a hand in producing – sometimes I outsource production) is getting work. My thinking is, if you’ve paid for the demo, you should own it – and that includes every single aspect, including the raw session file from the original recording. I do keep your (Adobe Audition 3.0) session (.ses) on file, should you need that file for your own reference or require me to make changes for you in the future. You will also have the “clips” from your demo delivered separately, should you decide to change the order around and/or do a different mix for yourself in the future when you want to ad some archival material. Upon delivery, you will have 2, 1-minute (or less, depending on your talent/range) demos fully mixed and produced in the format of your choice. That includes the time to critique your voice, pick out scripts, record your demo material, mix, edit and deliver. each) will take me 7 – 8 hours of studio time $150.00 per hour). I don’t simply record your voice, slap a music bed underneath and say “Here, good luck with that…” as many others do.Ī good demo package (Commercial and Narration, approx. In some cases, I start recording demo material on the spot. In other words, it will not be a waste of your time or money.Ģ) If your level of talent is pretty good and you want to move forward with producing the demo, I will minus the critique fee from the cost of producing your demo, which is only fair.ģ) If you have a demo which sounds good and/or I discover within a few minutes of a critique that you have talent for VO, we’ll skip the critique process (and subsequent fee).
If I discover that you have some talent but are not yet ready to have a voiceover demo produced, the critique will serve as a useful learning tool with which you will use to improve your skills. If you suck, I will know right away and won’t charge you – nor go on with the critique. One of three things can happen:ġ) If you have no demo, we then do the critique. The cost for a voice critique is $250.00. Indeed, I won’t know if you’re ready to record a demo at all.
If I don’t have this information, I can’t pick out the right scripts for you, much less decide on the vocal genre that bets suits your current abilities. This is because I haven’t a clue as to your strengths, weaknesses, how you take direction, your ability to physically adapt to the spoken word…and so on. I won’t produce a demo for someone I haven’t critiqued or heard previously via an existing voiceover demo.
