Choosing a professional Russian voice-over artist: the essential qualities

When choosing a Russian voice-over artist, you need to ensure that the professional artist has a number of fundamental qualities and skills.

A professional artist who does audio dubbing must first of all be able to speak very clearly, and also be able to adapt their vocal range according to the client's expectations, the type of audio to be dubbed, the target audience, the tone and the message the client wishes to convey.

Furthermore, for a voice-over in Russian, it makes sense for you to use a professional native speaker, in order to guarantee a perfectly fluid sound without any accent.

 

Choose a professional studio with state-of-the-art equipment

To ensure that you get great sound quality you should use a service provider with a professional studio. Voice dubbing must be carried out in optimal conditions to guarantee impeccable sound quality: studio microphones and headphones, soundproof room, audio mixing, etc. This equipment will ensure the sound is of a high-quality and can be broadcast with complete confidence to the audience concerned.

 

What criteria should be taken into account when choosing a Russian voice-over artist?

When choosing a Russian voice-over artist, you should take the following into account:

  • The type of content

Some voices are more suitable than others for specific audio or video media. Therefore, take into account the type of audio to be dubbed when choosing your Russian voice-over artist: corporate films, professional e-mail answering machines, commercials, podcasts, audio guides, courses and training, video games, documentaries, films, audio books, etc.

  • The audience

In addition, you need to take your intended audience into account when choosing a Russian voice-over artist.

  • Your brand values

Finally, you should consider your company’s image and culture. Ideally, you should choose a Russian voice-over artist that fits your company's needs and style, for example you may choose to have a voice that is soft, convincing, soothing or imposing, jovial or warm...
