Where You Get Voice Overs Online?

Getting the right voice over has a massive impact on the way people perceive your video.

Popular Sites To Buy VoiceOvers

Popular online sites for buying voiceovers include Voicebunny.com, Voices.com, and Voices123.com. These sites let you browse recorded samples from their database of thousands of voiceover actors. I like using VoiceBunny.com because they make it easy for me to post a job and get three auditions custom made from my script. If I love one of the options, they produce the full voiceover. If I’m not happy with any of the auditions, they prepare three new custom auditions for me until we get one that sounds perfect.

Listen through their demo reel and pay attention to the prices they charge. Some will charge 5 dollars to record a 150 word script. Which is about a minute long. But many of the best people charge 5 dollars for every 10 to 30 seconds of audio they record.

Your animated video script should have no more than 150 words per minute.
