Brand Your Voice

Right from the beginning you need to start thinking about how to build your professional brand. Building your brand is one of the most important things that you'll do to market yourself!  It refers to the way other people see you as a business owner, and if you manage to successfully master it,  it can set you and your offerings apart from your competitors.

Many professionals decide to keep their real name, but selecting a stage name has its advantages. There are many reasons to choose a stage name. Perhaps your given name has an unfortunate connotation or has about ten too many syllables. Either way, you may find you need a name that is memorable and can help establish your personal brand.

Choosing a stage name can help separate your professional life from your home life and in some cases gives you a more professional persona. Basically, you can choose any name that you feel serves you well, it can be a unique name or a memorable name whatever feels right to you.

Your approach to choosing a stage name will vary according to your desired image. Most importantly, select a name you can remember, easy to spell and easy to say. Check online to see if the name you would like to use is available and if it is buy both the .com and .net version. If your lucky no one else will have it and if so, look into building your own personal brand website. This will allow you to secure your brand name on the Internet.

Building your voiceover brand to promote your business is one of the most important steps you will take before beginning to market yourself. One thing a good brand image does is bring a consistent message to your audience, and helps establish your businesses purpose.

If you take the time to properly plan and brand yourself well before the release of your first demo, you'll find that your efforts have gone a long ways to differentiating yourself from other voiceover artists.

Finding a name for your company, selecting domains for your blog page & voiceover website, creating a logo, writing copy, selecting music, sound effects, picking colors, creating a slogan, and voice-over imaging is all part of building and branding your voice-over career and online presence.

Drafting Your Vocal Description

Is an important part of your personal branding, it is the way you describe your voice and your service. Your clients want to learn about you in as few words as possible. So to keep clients interested keep your description of your service around 15 words. Especially when you're trying to promote yourself at a voiceover marketplace or in advertisements.

First, create your vocal description and when you've completed that turn your attention to creating a phrase that best describes your voiceover services. Next, create a slogan, a powerful slogan is a memorable device that will serve you well if properly crafted and placed.

A necessary step in the branding process is writing your vocal description. Be sure to feature your strengths when you're writing your description, specialties, and unique characteristics. Be sure not to exceed the standard practice of having your description only two or three sentences long.

Selecting a Name

When you're selecting your online name make sure that your name reflects you as a professional voiceover talent. For example, maybe your name could be Mr. Bill voiceovers, Mr. Bill voiceover service, or Mr. Bill voices. If you followed my earlier instructions you made sure that your domain name was available online already. Also, you would have already selected a name that was unique and easily understood and recognized.

Picking Colors

Let's move on to choosing the correct colors to represent your voiceover services online and in the real world. Visually speaking, it's important to select complimentary colors, in other words, colors that look good together. Once you've selected the colors that you will use to help brand yourself on your website and in the real world, use those colors in your logo to help further brand your voice visually.

 

Creating a Logo

Your logo is the most easily recognized part of your voiceover brand. Your logo will accompany press releases and for advertising purposes online. It can also be used as a link to your site. It can give your audience a glimpse into what your brand is all about even before they hear your voice over demo.

Your logo is very important to everything you do when it comes to branding yourself. When you have your logo design just remember one thing, it's often the first impression of your voice over business that people will see.

Keeping this in mind, your logo should be sized appropriately and be friendly to all age groups viewing. And do yourself a favor make sure it doesn't take up any more room than an average logo you would see in your marketplace. Use the colors that you've chosen earlier to further enhance and unify your visual branding.

I suggest you outsource your logo design to an expert, your logo is much too important to not project! Nothing screams amateur worse than a poorly designed logo.

Slogans and Tags

Spend about 30 minutes or so to think about your slogan and tagline for your voiceover service. The tagline you come up with can be used to instill, validate and confirm your brand. You can use your slogan on your website, business cards, and in your demo.
