Here are some answers to questions we often hear. If you can't find what you're looking for, head on over to the contact page and we can help you out.
What should I have on my demo reel
Show us as many styles as you can and that you know you can do well – retail, soft sell, a natural read, narration, character. Versatility is good. Being able to put the right emphasis on the right words in the script is important. Have a listen to some samples on the website to get an idea of what to record.
I can't get past the first page!
Make sure you are uploading a demo reel - otherwise you can't get past this first part of the process :)

I'm replying to an audition/ availability check and I keep getting an error message
If the job is requesting that you record an audition you need to upload an mp3 version of your audition and then click 'confirm availability'.
When will I get paid?
Payments are made on the 4th and the 24th of the month. We make payment once BigMouth has been paid. Once the payment has been reconcilled the payslip is available for you to download from your JOBS page.
How does it all work?!
How do I get a quote
If all you want at this stage is a quote you can add any voice to a shortlist (don't worry it doesn't have to be your final voice), click the 'Go To Shortlist' button and then click the 'Next Step' button at the bottom of the page. You can then enter your script and it will calculate the fee according to the number of words.
Can I attach a word doc or PDF to work out the price for the VO
You need to cut and paste the words and enter them into the content box. This will then automatically calculate the fee for your VO!
