Note that if the quality (either in reading or just the recording itself) isn't
clear enough some companies can't include it on a master compilation demo, as

the master must have consistent professional quality from track to track. I once heard the Music Director at one of the radio stations I worked for offer some truly good advice to a local independent artist trying to get some airplay; He advised the singer to record a radio released song on to tape, dub his song after it, then record another song from the radio after his song. If the quality of his song didn't match, it wouldn't be consistent with the quality of other songs on the air. The same is true in voiceovers. There are plenty of high quality demos out there that you're competing with, so make the production quality the best you can.

Don't let these details scare you off. You don't have to spend a lot of
money on your demo for it to be crisp, clear, and attention grabbing. You
just have to choose your studio wisely - consider your options and
approach your recording time with forethought and sound preparation.
