Demo
Our process:
We consult with you to evaluate your needs and skills.
We then write copy suited to you for new demos or review your recordings for updated demos (if you’re providing previous work to include in a demo). Once you approve your custom scripts, we schedule a pre-production session with our demo producers. This is to test your recording environment and to find the best direction for your demo.
Next is the demo recording session where we direct you to your best performance.
Generally it takes 4-5 weeks to produce the final demo. Once complete and signed off on by you, you’ll receive a fully produced demo with the highest level of production. Depending on the genre, this may include separated tracks as well as the full demo.
PLEASE NOTE: We only produce demos for talent that are ready. That means they have the skills and training necessary to be able to take direction and recreate the samples on their demo when a client requests it. If that is you, check out our Demo Production page for more information on pricing for specific genres, and fill out our Demo Request Form.
Custom demo production ranges from $1000 – $2200 depending on the genre. Check out our Demo Production page to see our pricing for each genre we produce.
Just need a refresh? Refreshing a demo starts at $500.

Voice Talent Roster
We do not have a specific roster, but we will recommend current and former TNVO students if a client has a specific casting need.
We pride ourselves in being a top-tier voiceover training school and rental facility. We do not offer any agency representation or casting services.
We do not hire voice actors, but occasionally if a client asks we will recommend previous TNVO students if we think they could be a good fit.
