D&S Creative Communications Thanks to the folks at Voices.com for running such a site. Posting the job and working with the talent is a breeze!

The only issue - not really! - was the 111 responses in a 3-day period. It was too many to audition in the time available. So, only the first 30 in the list were actually auditioned for the 3 voices we needed.

It's great that this resource is available. Getting auditions and finished files back like nothing before!

I would like to express what a great place Voices.com is for non-English talents

Michiru Yabu Being a Japanese VO in the international market, opportunities to get jobs is less than English VOs.

However, competitors seeking voiceover work is also less in Japan, the home country.

Being able to communicate in English and being capable of providing translation of the script is the advantage that I have over many others.

Voices.com is one of the best tools for me to spotlight my skills to get jobs.

If you are looking for Japanese or any other foreign language VO talent, what will you do?
If you can't communicate in the target language, it is sometimes impossible to find a talent within the target market (country) that you'll be able to communicate with.

Not all VO talent who are native of the target language can communicate in English. I like to think that Voices.com performs like an international airport (hub).

Clients who are looking for a right candidate fly by like an airplane carrying scripts and money. VO talents are passengers who are waiting for the right airplane to arrive.

Voices.com is the one of a few places where I can find opportunities I am
looking for or that are right for my skills.

I do not want to end up with just being "Japanese VO" who only works within Japan.

Having a tool like Voices.com, I can fly virtually all over the world where opportunities are.
One more thing I really like about Voices.com is the different membership levels.

Being non-English VO talent, there are lesser jobs in the international market. There are fewer job posts compared to English jobs, sometimes none in a few months. Voices.com gives me an option to join on monthly basis.

If I see a good job posting, I join, if no jobs are posted for a while, I ask customer service to stop my membership to prevent renewal.

I know it is such hassle for them but they always treat me like a valuable customer. I appreciate the flexibility very much. Having such an option is a great thing for us and Voices.com is the only place where such a great option is provided.

Globalization is the key marketing strategy now. I am sure the demands for non-English VO talents will increase more and more in the near future.

I would like to express how great place Voices.com is for non-English VO talents like myself.

Thank you,

Voices.com Is My Go-To For Positivity, Resources, and Clients!

Dana Detrick I've been an active member of Voices.com for several years now, but as the economy started to take a nose dive and traditional clients tightened their purse strings, I've found Voices to be my 'go-to' for positivity, resources, and most importantly, clients!

Just had another great experience with a new client who found me via the Voices.com site. He had never used your service before, but easily navigated through the process, and we both enjoyed an easy working relationship (without any worry) thanks to SurePay.

Thank you again, Voices.com, for being so consistently great!

My Nancy Wolfson Demo is Getting Me Bookings at Voices.com!

Amy King Hi Stephanie,

I recently joined Voices.com, and wanted to share a quick success story with you!

I am a working VO actor, based out of Los Angeles, and while I've been getting work through various sources, including my agent, I wanted to branch out further to find job opportunities. My voice coach, Nancy Wolfson, recommended I get a Premium membership at Voices.com.

So I joined a couple months ago. I was busy with life, however, and didn't complete my profile right away.

Finally, I got my act together a couple weeks ago and posted my commercial and narration demos. I submitted one audition, and submitted my demo to another potential client.

A couple DAYS later, I received a message, from an interested client - who had only heard my demo, which Nancy made with me recently. We emailed back and forth a couple times and... ta-da!... I won the job!

So literally within DAYS of uploading my demo, I was hired for a job, which has paid for my premium membership!

So I just wanted to say THANK YOU for providing this avenue for voiceover actors to enhance their careers!

I look forward to many more opportunities coming my way through Voices.com (in fact, I've just responded to another person who's interested in hiring me from my demo posted on voices.com!) YAY!

Thanks so much, Stephanie!

Best,

Amy King
