Episode Synopsis

So what if you DON’T want to direct a voice actor, but you do want some multiple takes?
Just ask for it. Whoever you hire for voice over, just communicate what you want to the voice actor.
Here’s what I usually do, depending on the length of the script, for example, if it is short and I don’t want to direct them, I do this:
I tell them about the brand, the video, who they are playing and who they are specifically talking to. Then, I will ask for three takes. The first two are variations on how I want it done. The last take I ask them to just give me a version they prefer or they think how it should sound.
Don't want to direct the talent? No problem. Just tell them what you want.
