Collect voice auditions and voiceovers on one link

Auditions sent by email arrive in six file types, with names like "New Recording 14".

This template is one link with the lines to read, and SendMyVoice keeps each audition as a recording with a name on it.

Download them all in one zip file. No app or account to record.

Step 1 of 4

Say your name and the part you're reading for

Tap to record. Up to 2 min.

The questions

  1. 1

    Say your name and the part you're reading for

    A slate, so every recording has a name on it.

  2. 2

    Read this line: "Every town has a story. Ours starts with a bridge nobody remembers building."

    Put the exact line in the question. Every audition reads the same words, so they're easy to compare.

  3. 3

    Now read it again, a different way

    Shows range, and how well direction lands.

  4. 4

    Anything we should know? Availability, accents, experience.

    Optional. The practical details you'd otherwise chase by email.

On the free plan (3 questions), use 1, 2 and 3. Answers up to 1 minute fit most lines, and Pro allows 5 minutes for longer reads. The questions work in any form tool too.

    I'm free Tuesdays and Thursdays after six. I did the school radio show for two years, and I can do a decent Irish accent if you need one.

Questions

How do I collect voice auditions online?

Share one link with the lines to read. Each audition is recorded on a phone or laptop, and you get it as audio with a transcript.

Can I download the recordings?

Yes. You can download every recording in one zip file, with a spreadsheet of names and transcripts.

Is the sound good enough for a video?

A recent phone in a quiet room is fine for a school or community video. For a paid production, use the auditions to cast and record the final take in a studio.

How long can a recording be?

Up to 1 minute on the free plan and up to 5 minutes on Pro.

How many auditions can I collect?

10 a month on the free plan and 200 a month on Pro.
