We ask that you only communicate with our voice actors through our platform.

If you’d like to direct a voice actor remotely, you may exchange contact information for this purpose once the project has been funded.

Our Terms and Conditions dictate that we would not be able to assist in case of a dispute when dealing financially with the talent directly.

Stay on the safe side, use our system to issue payment, and only release funds only when you’re happy with the voice actor’s work.

Yes. To invite more voice actors, click the “Invite More Voice Actors” button in the PROJECT DETAILS tab. You’ll be redirected to the search page.

From there, filter your results or type in the name of the voice actor you wish to add in the search bar and click the “Get my quote” next to them.

Then click the “Done! Request quotes” button.

A request will be sent to the voice actor/s to send quotes, and these will be automatically added to your project’s PROPOSALS section.

Most voice actors deliver recordings within 24-48 hours, with shorter, simpler projects often completed in just a few hours. Turnaround time depends on script length, post-production requirements, and talent availability.

• Scripts between 300-500 words can be turned around within a few hours, while longer ones may need more time for basic editing.
• Voice Crafters recommends communicating deadlines upfront when requesting quotes so talent can confirm availability.
• Provide scripts with clear direction and a pronunciation guide for proprietary terms from the start to minimize revision delays.
• Allow extra time for projects requiring translation, sync-to-picture, or advanced post-production work.

• Try to book voice talent in advance for larger projects or ones with tight, non-negotiable deadlines.

Yes! When requesting quotes, simply check the custom audition option on the quote form. All invited voice actors will record a portion of your script so you can compare performances before making your final selection.

• Voice actors will typically not record the full audition script or add a watermark as a precaution.
• Note that you may receive the quote separately from the audition recording in case the talent isn’t available to record at that moment.
• You are encouraged to select a representative section of their script and include any specific direction notes about tone, pacing, or character.

• When browsing talent and choosing individual ones to quote, we recommend getting quotes from 10-20 voice actors for meaningful comparison without overwhelming yourself.

Yes. Most of our voice actors use Source Connect, Source Nexus, Cleanfeed, Zoom, Google Meet or other remote recording platforms, so you can direct them in real-time.

• Remote recordings ensure faster turnaround as there are no back-and-forth revision cycles, better creative control over the final performance, and multiple delivery styles in one session.
• Voice Crafters recommend scheduling live sessions in advance to ensure talent availability.
• Be sure to share scripts and direction notes ahead of time so talent can prepare.
• Test the connection in advance to ensure a smooth session, especially if multiple stakeholders are to join and chime in.

• If possible, designate one person to direct the voice actor and avoid conflicting feedback.

Voice actors typically deliver files in WAV or MP3 formats, but you can request any audio format needed for your project. Simply specify your preferred format when requesting a quote or before the recording.

• MP3 files are compressed audio files, ideal for web and e-learning, while WAV/AIF are lossless formats with no quality degradation, and larger file sizes.
• For video content, we recommend using audio files in WAV format (24-bit/48 kHz), while e-learning platforms typically use MP3 files for faster loading.
• Always archive master recordings in WAV format for future editing or repurposing.

• Multiple format versions are available upon request at no extra charge.
