Voice Acting Portfolio Checklist

Check whether a listener can find your relevant samples, understand your role, and contact you. Organize an honest voice-acting portfolio with working media, permission notes, and one clear next action instead of an unexplained gallery.

Controlled practice

Work through the routine one step at a time.

Change one variable, listen back, then mark the step. Progress stays on this device and carries across the language switch. The checklist stores completion flags, never recordings.

1

Define the target work

Name the work you want to show: character acting, narration, or commercial reads. Choose samples that demonstrate that task.

2

Label your contribution

State what you performed and whether the piece is commissioned work or a personal rehearsal. Separate performance from editing or production credits.

3

Verify permission

Check whether each script, music bed, artwork, and client clip may be published. Leave uncertain material private until permission is resolved.

4

Open every media item

Test the actual public playback link on desktop and phone. Confirm it works without the viewer needing your private account.

5

Check contact and context

Provide a working contact path and concise relevant context. Keep private addresses and unpublished client information out of public notes.

6

Run a first-visitor test

Ask a listener to find one suitable sample and the contact route without instructions. Repair the point where they become lost.

Original practice card

Use one fixed example for a fair comparison.

Portfolio card example: Lantern Keeper — original character rehearsal — performer: you — 25-second sample — context: a careful invitation to a traveler. Status: private review until all publication permissions are confirmed.

How should the first pass work?

Read the original example and limits, then work through the six steps using your own notes and any equipment required by the task. Keep a baseline or current version and check the stated result before marking a step complete. The checklist records your progress locally; it does not inspect files, judge audio, or perform the task for you.

Limits and failure cases

Repair a failed comparison before continuing.

This page does not host a portfolio, verify copyright ownership, contact clients, or promise bookings. The example is a planning card; publish only material you have permission to share.

Too many simultaneous changes

Changing words, level, position, and pace together makes the comparison inconclusive. Return to the example baseline and retain only the variable specified by the current step.

Impressions instead of evidence

A more attractive sound does not establish that the task worked. Apply the page-specific playback checks, and ask a listener unfamiliar with the example to recount the information before keeping a take.

Effort used to force completion

The completion record is not an endurance contest. Stop at discomfort, shorten the session, and return to comfortable speech; pain or excessive vocal effort is never a condition for checking a box.

Continue training

Choose the next exercise by the task you need.

Continue with Voice Over Demo Reel Exercises and Voice Acting Audition Exercises, or return to the voice imitation game. The game uses its own reference clips and imitation scoring; it does not automatically assess this original practice script.
