1.  If you are inexperienced:

If you’re on your first or second demo still, a rule of thumb is to wait until you’ve done a few gigs, say 4 - 10.  That extra experience will help, because with voiceovers, there is a very steep learning curve in the beginning.  Your next demo will already be much smoother and your skills will be improved even after such a short time.  I’ve worked with many voiceovers who are still new to the game, and after a few rounds in studio, it’s like they’re a different voiceover. More confident, better and basically, really starting to find their own style.

2. if you are experienced:

Once you’ve had a certain amount of experience, the learning curve isn’t as steep anymore.  Now you just have to make sure your demo is “acting your age”.   You don’t need to waste your money re-doing your demo every year.  You can refresh your existing demo every 2 years or so (simple editing - adding in new bits of work you’ve done, and taking out some of the older stuff that dates your demo).  And then, re-record and make a new demo every 4 years roughly. Too often I’ve heard people sound really young on their demo, and then when you get them in studio, they sound nothing like they do on their demo. 

3. when your demo is letting you down

If you did a demo you were never really happy with, plus, you’re not getting booked for gigs - it’s time.
