Tips for the remarks section, when submitting auditions or proposals

In today's career development world, sending well-written cover letters when applying for jobs is very important. Many recruiters and human resources departments require applicants to send cover letters together with their resumes.


Although, when operating online, sometimes being quick, effective, and to the point while remaining cordial, is best for the remarks section of your audition/proposal.


The concept that applies to Voice123 when submitting auditions and proposals is to use remarks that are quick and easy to read, make a point of why you are best, and does not bore the reader who has to listen to many demos, and read many remarks per page. A voice seeker can read the information on your profile and resume information, but how does he or she know you can do the job better than other talents or voice producers? Most of the time, being quick and effective is a way to send a seeker a message that you know he is busy and respect that his/her time is valuable. Of course, everyone has an opinion on what works for them, and they will listen to your demos but, if there was something you could do to help yourself a little bit more, you would try it, no? Well, the comments or remarks you write when submitting auditions and proposals are a way to achieve this goal. Much of what is written here is based on voice seeker feedback received through Voice123.


Before submitting an audition or proposal, find the section to write remarks that will be sent to the voice seeker along with your demo(s). The comments you write here can make a difference when voice seekers are making decisions. The question now is what do you want to write in this box?


Being brief, write a text that says why you think you are particularly suited for that specific job, and how to reach you. Always use private contact sources to protect yourself. Emphasize the skills, experience, achievements, and key points that you think can help you do that job better than other candidates. The client knows you are interested, being that you are auditioning, so what else can you offer as proof you should be hired? Avoid repeating what you have on your resume. The remarks should complement your profile information.


Try to add a personal touch, write something catchy. Keep in mind that this is your first contact with the voice seeker, so make sure you create a good first impression. Also, let the voice seeker know that you are available to be contacted further if there are any additional questions he or she would like to ask.


It is important to know that you need to write a remark every time you audition for a job. All jobs are different, so avoid using exactly the same text for every remark. You can have a couple of templates ready, but try to be as personalized as possible every time.


The majority of Voice123 talents and voice producers send very good remarks when submitting auditions and proposals. You don’t want to be left behind. Start working on writing remarks, and show the client that you put effort and thought into your text. In doing so, you will increase your chances of getting the job.


Remember, keep it short and simple. Don’t write a book. The client is only interested in experience or skills that directly relate to the specific project.
