How to Effectively Direct Voice Actors for Your Project
When working on commercials, e-learning, IVR, or explainer videos, directing voice actors effectively can determine whether your message connects or fades away. At Mi100 Production Studio, we know that even the best voice requires clear direction to deliver results that resonate with your audience.

🎯 Why Direction Matters
Voiceover is not just about reading a script. It’s about breathing life into words, conveying emotion, and aligning tone with your brand. Clear, focused direction saves time, ensures consistency, and transforms a standard read into an engaging performance that hooks your audience.

✅ Do: Provide Clear Context
Before recording, share:
- Target audience 🎧
- Intended emotional tone (warm, authoritative, playful, etc.)
- Pronunciation of specific terms
- Reference examples or brand guidelines if available
The clearer your brief, the better the performance you will receive.

🚫 Don’t: Overload with Vague Feedback
Avoid feedback like “make it better” or “add energy” without specifics. Instead, say:
✅ “Sound more conversational, like explaining to a friend.”
✅ “Emphasize the brand name each time it’s mentioned.”
✅ “Keep a steady pace to match the explainer visuals.”

🛠️ Tips for Live Direction
🎧 Use live sessions to provide real-time guidance during the recording.
🕓 Be punctual and prepared with your notes.
🎤 Let the voice actor deliver 2-3 takes, then provide constructive, positive feedback.
🖇️ Record the session if possible for reference and consistency in future pickups.

✨ Collaboration Yields the Best Results
Directing voice actors is a collaborative process. Trust their expertise in pacing and delivery while guiding them to match your project’s vision. This synergy leads to impactful audio that elevates your brand message.
