Trailer voice actor websites, weight in the first line.
Trailer work is cast on weight and timing. Your site should show those within the first line of the first sample.
What a producer listens for.
What matters when someone is casting trailer voice actors, and how the site answers it.
Weight in the first line
A trailer voice is judged immediately. Lead with your strongest, deepest read.
Timing against picture
Pauses and builds matter. Show a read that sits against a cut.
Original copy
Do not lift real trailers. Record original copy and label it as such.
How your reels are labelled.
Examples of the labels a producer sees before pressing play. Final labels are agreed with you.
- Trailer · Film
- Trailer · Game
- Trailer · Series
- Trailer · Promo
What your site adds.
A route for quick briefs
Trailers are often booked against a deadline; say how fast you turn a read.
Your booth
State booth and delivery, so a post house knows what to expect.
Questions, answered.
Something else? Ask it when you request a quote.
Do I need a deep voice to do trailers?

Can I use real trailer copy?
No; write or commission original copy.
Should film and game trailers be separate?
If the style differs, yes.
