How can I improve my voice actor profile?

Think of your profile as your résumé. Consequently, the more complete it is, the better. After all, this is what clients will see when they click on your card in the search window.

1. If you have a very limited selection of Playlists on your profile page, you're unlikely to come up in searches.
   1. Try to populate your profile with as many diverse Playlists of your recorded work as you can.
   2. Upload single samples -- not collages.
   3. Use descriptive adjectives such as: engaging, compelling, easy-going, motherly; approachable; kind; cold, etc, as these are typical search terms clients use.
   4. The samples need not be longer than 20-30 seconds. The key is to come across as both versatile and accomplished.
   5. When naming your Playlist, we recommend you use the applicable category, such as:
      • 'Commercial'
      • 'TV Narration'
      • 'E-learning', and so on.
      • Include your character/role, client, project category, and tag your samples appropriately. This is crucial for improving your relevancy in the search results.
        • Use descriptive adjectives such as: engaging, compelling, easy-going, motherly; approachable; kind; conversational, deep, etc. as these are typical search terms clients use. 
          • Check out this list of the most popular keywords here.
        • You can add keywords to the sample name and to the additional sample details field. All these keywords will be converted into labels in the near future, please ensure they truly reflect the intention of the sample. 
        • Separate each item with a hyphen (-) instead of using other special characters. (E.g. Kind British announcer - Starbucks - Radio ad). 
2. Add a profile picture because it makes your profile more personable.
3. It's good practice to choose your auditions carefully and only submit proposals for those projects you really feel you can voice well.
