daCapo Voice Talent of the Year Awards, 2006
A big part of any success we have as a company is the talent that we regularly work with and hire. If we didn't have access to a wide variety of skilled and unique voices, we could not do the work that we do! In order to recognize the contributions that our voice talents make to us, our clients, and the audio production industry (and to have a really good excuse to eat cake at 2:00 in the afternoon), we initiated the FIRST ANNUAL DACAPO PRODUCTIONS VOICE TALENT AWARDS!!!!

(Clint addresses the black-tie crowd at the awards ceremony)

The winners (talent of the year, and runner-up) were chosen based upon a complicated formula involving total number of projects voiced, total revenue earned, and some linear programming. Our runner up was… Monique LaCoste who has the added caché of being able to do excellent voice work in French and English (note the beautiful trophies these folks were presented with. You don't find things like this at just any pawnshop, let me tell you!).

Our overall winner was… Gordon Tanner

Congratulations everyone! It has been great having the opportunity to work with you over the years!

Thanking Voice Talent after Auditions

Greetings, After you've selected a voice talent to work with, do you thank the other voice talents who applied for your voice-over job? Sending a quick email to voice talent who were not selected for your project is a considerate gesture that helps build relationships and a qualified network of skilled professionals. It also lets the talent know that you reviewed their submission and appreciated their efforts. Here's a sample template that you can work from for thanking voice talents: Dear (Voice Talent Name), Thank you for responding to my job posting "Name of Project". Although we selected another professional for this particular job, our team is interested in your voice and will keep you in mind for future projects. Thank you again for your audition. Sincerely, (Your name and company name) A simple yet grateful message will go a long way and build a good rapport with voice talent for future endeavors. Best wishes, Stephanie
