There are plenty of voice actors out there who are the package
deal - they handle everything from the voice recording to storyboard creation
to final edits. Not all of us are so multi-talented though, and we require a
team of individuals to get the job done. With the right crew and the right
approach, this type of collaboration can result in some really great
experiences. However, with so many people providing input into a project, there
is always the potential for some bumps in the road. To avoid these, use these 3
tips to keep collaboration effective and running smoothly.
1.
Communicate often and effectively. When you’re working
with others toward a shared goal, you have to keep the lines of communication
open. Being able to update one another on the project’s progress, bounce ideas
off each other, and provide feedback is essential for creating a product you
can all be proud of. Everyone should have a voice, and all voices should be
respected. Speak regularly through whatever platform you prefer - phone, email,
text, video chat - whatever it takes to keep you all on the same page.
2.
Stay on the same page - Speaking of keeping everyone on
the same page, you have to do this if you want successful collaborative
experiences! This starts with clear
direction from the top about what is expected from each person and what the
desired outcome is. Each person also needs a solid understanding of their role
and how it fits with those of other team members. Everyone must work with the
understanding that their piece fits together with everyone else’s to create the
larger product.
3. Respect
and appreciation for all involved - Everyone involved in the project plays an
important part, and no one person is more valuable than another. Everyone in
the group must respect the others, and recognize that without them, the project
won’t be complete. Group dynamics can be
a funny thing sometimes, and it’s vital that each person on the team feel
appreciated and like they’re a valuable part of the crew.
