Help - FAQ
Why are there no voices in the database when I search?
One reason is that your search may be too specific. Try and broaden your search, or contact sales who'll try to find you the voice you need, no matter how specific the requirements.
Joining Air Talent Online
It may sound too good to be true; but it's not. It's 100% free to sign up as a voice over and/or jingle singer and we take 0% commission. We are not an agency as such and so cannot guarantee work for any voice. As the site continues to grow, our presence in the market will too, and we will be able to provide you with even more leads.
Filling out the demo upload form
Username: You'll use this to login for future updates to your profile. It will also make up the end part of your URL (http://www.airtalentonline.co.uk/profile/username). Usernames cannot contain spaces and must be different to every other on the site.
Languages: ONLY tick/write languages that you can speak. If you do the accent of that language, put it in the accents/dialects box.
Ages: This refers to your voice's age, and not your age. Do you sound hip, young and trendy? Or would you suit a Grand parent role better?
ISDN: If you're unsure if you have ISDN, it's more likely you don't. Find out more here.
I signed up and keep receiving spam
We do not sell your details to anyone and no-one can view your email address, however, if spammers attack the forms on your profile site, you will receive the message. We are quick to act on spam and will inform you ASAP if a job is spam/ The key signs are: payment by cheque only, large offer of payment, foreign based company/client. Of course, this isn't 100% accurate every time,but do be cautious and don't give out bank or personal details.
The website's font is too big/small
You may need to change your browser settings. Here's how:
Internet Explorer:
- Click View.
It's on the browser Menu Bar.
- Highlight Fonts.
Place your mouse cursor on the words Fonts or Text Size. Notice that you now have 5 size choices ranging from Largest to Smallest.
- Click on Smallest.
Note the change in text size on your browser screen.
- Click on Largest.
Again, note the size change.
-
Choose a font size.
Make sure you choose the font size that suits you best. 
Netscape Navigator:
- Click Edit.
It's in the upper left corner of your browser. A menu will appear.
- Click Preferences.
A Preferences window will appear.
- Click on Fonts. Under the Appearance heading in the upper left corner of the Preferences window, click Fonts. Information on the size and style of the font you're using will appear to the right. They are probably set to 10 and 9.
- Click on the arrows. They are next to the size boxes to increase or decrease font size.
- Click OK. It's at the bottom of the window to experiment with different sizes. Repeat the process until you find a size that suits you.

Note: Graphics with words inside cannot be resized (such as banners, logos and pictures). Increasing the text size will also show less text on each page, so you may need to scroll down to view all of the text. Also, modifying font sizes will alter the layout and design of the pages you view to facilitate the larger text.
Who are the voice overs used on the website? The ones that say "Demo"...etc.
Depending on what you heard the voice on, it may be:
Gina Mellotte - sample
Jon Rand - sample
Alan Bainbridge - sample
Michelle Horn - sample
All four of these voices can be booked via Air Talent Online. Simply email sales with some of your project details. (do include the name of a talent/talents you wish to find out more about - or the process may be slowed down)
Demos through the audio player sound slow or distorted
If when listenting to a demo through our flash player, it seems to have been slowed down, it is a result of sample rate being to high or low. As a talent, you should upload files with a sample rate of 44.1 khz and ideally in mp3 format. Otherwise, files may sound distorted. Iif you are a client, click 'download' on that file instead, to listen via Windows Media Player or your computers equivilant/default player.

I'm signed up: how do clients contact me?
Clients will contact you via email (via the contact form on your page). This means that you get the message (s) without your email address being on display and so subject to spam.
Why can't I search for celebrity impressionists?
We are continually customising the Air Talent Online website, and as yet, there is no field on the search for impressionists/character voices but there is a key word search option.
Do I (the talent) provide price quotes to clients or do they specify a price?
Some clients may say ‘my budget is £100’ and others may ask you what you would charge.
If you are part of a union, e.g. EQUITY, SAG…etc, you can contact the union for a guide to rates. If non-union, we can help wherever possible to guide you with prices and a price guide will soon be available on our website for you to download.
How do I get more exposure as a voice over on Air Talent Online?
We have complied a section specifically for this. To find it, log-in via Talent Admin - under the latest news section, you should see 'New Article: Read how to get more exposure as a voice over!'.
