Top 5 Voiceover Mistakes Clients Make – Avoid Them for Better Results
If you’re searching for professional voiceover services in any language or accent, you’re in the right place. At Vocal Global, we specialize in delivering high-quality voiceovers by native speakers from across the globe — whether you need Arabic, English, French, Spanish, or even regional dialects like Gulf Arabic, Levantine, or Egyptian.
To help you get the most out of your next voiceover project, we’ve listed five common mistakes clients often make — and how to avoid them.
1. Not Clearly Identifying the Target Audience
Your voiceover script needs to speak to the right people in the right way. Whether you’re targeting children, professionals, or a specific region, your voiceover must reflect that.
Tip: Share details like age group, region, emotion, and platform (TV, YouTube, e-learning, etc.) before production starts.
2. Sending Draft or Unfinalized Scripts
A common mistake is sending a script that’s still in draft form. This leads to confusion, errors, and often, multiple retakes — which cost time and money.
Tip: Ensure your script is final, grammatically correct, and approved by all stakeholders before recording.
3. Forgetting Pronunciation and Brand Guidelines
Unique brand names, acronyms, and industry-specific terms can be easily mispronounced without proper instruction.
Tip: Always include a pronunciation guide or reference recording, especially for non-English or branded terms.
4. Giving Vague or Contradictory Direction
Telling your voice talent to be “fast but calm” or “excited but serious” creates confusion and weakens the performance.
Tip: Focus on the key emotion you want the listener to feel, and provide a few reference samples if needed.
5. Judging the Final Quality Based on Home Demos
Previews recorded at home (on phones or basic equipment) do not reflect final studio quality — and they shouldn’t.
Tip: Trust the final product will be recorded in a professional studio with proper sound engineering — especially when working with an agency like Vocal Global.
