How do I keep track of voiceover auditions?
Track every audition in one pipeline with at minimum: the project, client or caster, source, due date, submission date, and outcome. Move each through stages — to do, submitted, callback, booked, released — and review the pipeline weekly. What gets measured improves: your genre hit-rates and per-source ROI only appear once auditions are recorded consistently.
The volume is what breaks ad-hoc systems. Active VOs handle dozens of auditions a week across agents, pay-to-play sites, and direct requests; without a pipeline, due dates slip and 'did I ever hear back?' becomes unanswerable.
Record outcomes honestly, including silence. Distinguishing 'not booked' from 'no news' matters: audition work is a numbers game, and only accurate records reveal your actual booking rate, which genres convert, and whether a paid platform earns its fee.
Keep the brief with the audition — the script, specs, direction, and rate quoted. When a callback lands three weeks later, the context is the difference between scrambling and sounding prepared.
VOpilot builds the pipeline for you: forward an audition email and it's parsed into a card with the script, specs, due date, and rate; the board nags what's due; and Audition Intelligence reports your booking rates by genre and source once the data accumulates.
