Make Your Voice Over Website Work for You (and for Casting Directors)

If you’re a voice actor, especially one working full time, getting on the radar of casting directors is essential. A solid online presence makes it easier for people to find you, hear your work, and reach out when the right opportunity comes up. One of the best tools in your arsenal? A personal voice over website. Here's our take on what yours should include...

What does your voice over website need?

Your site doesn’t need to be flashy, but it does need to be clear, professional, and useful to the people who visit it. That means making it easy for casting directors and producers to find what they need without clicking around for five minutes. Don't get too hung up on "personal branding" or logos, etc. — casting directors care about being able to hear you, learn what your skills are, and connect with you quickly.

Don't sacrifice function for style. Make sure casting directors can find what they need quickly!

Here are your most important website must-haves:

• Downloadable demos, front and center – Your voice is your whole thing. Make sure your commercial, narration, animation, and character demos are easy to find and easy to download.

• Contact and booking info – Include your email, agent or manager (if you have one), and a direct way to request availability or rates.

• Languages spoken and additional skills – If you do accents, speak multiple languages, or have relevant skills like singing or copywriting, list them clearly.

• Location and studio setup – Are you in New York? LA? Fully remote? Do you have a broadcast-quality home studio? Casting directors need to know where and how you work.

Include your social media links if they reflect well on you as a professional ;) Odds are, people will find them anyway, but no reason to include the links on your voiceover site unless you use them for voice over.

No coding skills? No problem.

You don’t need to be a developer to build a basic site. Platforms like WIX and Squarespace let you create clean, professional websites with drag-and-drop tools—no coding required. They’re cost-effective, easy to maintain, and offer templates that are an easy way to start.

Which domain should I buy?

Your name is one of your most valuable online assets. If possible, purchase a domain with your full name (yourname.com). If that is unavailable, consider variations such as adding “voice” to the end, using your middle name, or including a professional keyword that makes sense for your work.

Avoid using gimmicky or overly branded domain names that obscure your identity. You are a person first, not a product. People will search for you online using your real name, so make it easy for them to find you. Consistency across your website, email, and professional profiles also helps strengthen your visibility and credibility.

When is it time to hire a pro?

Sure, you can do it yourself (and in the beginning, it's totally fine!), but eventually, you'll want to hire a professional. Just like in voice-over, there are levels to every creative field, and a basic, DIY site will only get you so far. A great website developer can do things like optimize your site for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and expand its possibilities far beyond an amateur level. Once you've got a few jobs under your belt and want to increase your reach, consider updating your site beyond that initial DIY level.
