Tags are adjectives which describe specific characteristics of a talent's voice.

Enabling tags allows you to find a voice which contains very specific characteristics. For example, selecting "energetic" and "expressive" will only display talent which is both energetic and expressive. This can be helpful if you know exactly what you are looking for, however, keep in mind that your search results will rapidly diminish. Oftentimes, you may have the best luck selecting only 1 or 2 tags at a time.

A list of applicable tags can be found at the bottom of a each talent's extended profile.
