Templates

As we briefly covered earlier in this article, you can prepare ready-to-use audition proposals called Templates stored privately within your account at Voices.com to be used when replying to job opportunities posted at the site.

To add a note to your Templates, visit My Account and click on the Profile tab and then click on the link called Templates.

How Do I Create a Proposal Template?

๏ To create a new template click on New
๏ Give your template a name, ex. "Commercial Audition" template
๏ Once finished click Save and this template will be listed in the template drop down list ready to use when you are auditioning for a job

* You can also create a template from the actual auditioning screen

What Should a Proposal Include?

A proposal should include:

๏ A greeting to the client (by name if possible)
๏ An introduction of yourself
๏ Why you're interested in the project
๏ List a job or client that relates to the type of project you're auditioning for
๏ Your quote or an explanation of your quoting method

Sample Template

Check out this screen shot. I have the full proposal for you to use in text below but wanted you to see these words in action as they would appear on the auditioning screen.

Full Proposal

Dear Client Name,

Thank you for the opportunity to apply for and potentially collaborate on your project.

I can offer you years of experience, professionalism and personalized service. In addition, I am familiar with your industry and am keenly interested in recording the material presented in your script.

My interpretation will represent your vision and embody the essence of your brand. I happen to have recorded a brief sample of your script for you to listen to so that you can hear what my voice sounds like reading your script.

If selected, I can start working immediately and am most comfortable using the Voices.com SurePay escrow service regarding payment. This works quite well for delivering your files online and ensures your satisfaction as well as a smooth transaction for both of us.

Thank you again for your consideration and I trust you'll be more than satisfied with my ability to serve you.

Sincerely,

Voice Actor

Practical Application

This is where things get exciting... you have direct access to your created templates each time you audition.

For those of you who already make use of this feature on a regular basis, you know how well it saves time and effort when auditioning.

At this point, all you need to do is select the template you feel is most suited to the job you are applying for from a drop down box and then customize the proposal as necessary.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Stephanie
