How to Find your Perfect Voice Artist
The right voice actor can transform your commercial, making it engaging, memorable, and persuasive. Whether you're producing a radio ad, an online video, or a TV commercial, the tone, clarity, and delivery of the voice-over can make all the difference.
At Piranha Talent Agency, we specialise in connecting brands with top-tier voice artists in New Zealand and around the world. Here’s how to find the perfect voice for your next campaign.
Step 1: Define Your Ideal Voice
Before you start casting, identify the exact vocal qualities that best represent your brand and message. Consider:
Tone & Style – Do you need a warm and friendly voice, an authoritative narrator, or a high-energy promotional tone?
Accent & Dialect – Should the voice artist have a neutral New Zealand accent, a regional dialect, or an international voice?
Pacing & Clarity – Does your script require a slow, storytelling approach, a movie trailer style “Voice of God” or a fast-paced, energetic delivery?
A detailed voice-over brief helps narrow down the best talent for your project.
Step 2: Work with a Professional Voice Talent Agency
Searching for the right voice artist can be time-consuming. A professional talent agency, like Piranha Talent Agency, makes the process seamless by:
Providing pre-screened, high-quality voice actors with diverse styles.
Offering custom voice auditions so you can hear how each actor delivers your script.

Step 3: Review Voice Demos & Custom Auditions
Once you have a shortlist of voice actors, it's time to listen carefully to their performances. Key factors to evaluate:
Authenticity – Does their voice sound natural and engaging?
Emotional Range – Can they convey different moods effectively?
Pronunciation & Diction – Are they clear and articulate?
Brand Fit – Does their tone align with your brand’s personality?
At Piranha Talent Agency, we can provide quick phone auditions, allowing you to hear how each artist delivers your specific script or auditions recorded and mixed in a professional studio.
Step 4: Consider Post-Production Sound Quality
A great voice-over isn’t just about the voice—it’s also about sound quality. Poor recording environments can ruin even the best performances. That’s why professional post-production sound is crucial.
💡 Bonus Tip: Our sister company, Post Production Sound, offers expert voice-over recording, editing, and sound mixing to ensure crystal-clear audio for your ad and the capability to link up around New Zealand and the world.
Step 5: Conduct a Live Voice Session (If Needed)
For high-profile campaigns, consider a live recording session, where the director and production team can provide real-time feedback to the voice artist. This ensures:
Perfect pronunciation and pacing
Emotional delivery that aligns with the script
Seamless integration with background music and sound effects
Many of our Piranha Talent Agency voice actors offer remote recording options, allowing flexibility for last-minute changes.
Step 6: Finalize & Book Your Voice Talent
Once you’ve selected the perfect voice, it’s time to confirm availability and book the talent. With Piranha Talent Agency, we handle everything from scheduling to contracts, making the process effortless.
