Voiceover Direction

If you're working with voice talent and find yourself either giving line readings or getting takes that miss the mark, this walks you through Anne Ganguzza's approach of directing intention rather than inflection. It includes templates for VO briefs, script formatting for speakability, casting criteria that match voice characteristics to brand personality, and session direction frameworks. The methodology is solid on the "tell them why they're saying it, not how" principle. Most useful when you're briefing talent or stuck in a session trying to articulate what's wrong with a take. The brief template alone will save you multiple rounds of revisions by getting clarity upfront on tone, audience emotional state, and anti-references.

Core Principle: "Voice actors aren't just readers; they're actors. Your job as director is to give them the emotional context and story to tell, not just words to read." Great voiceover direction focuses on intention, not inflection—tell the talent WHY they're saying something, not HOW to say it.
