Paul's Story

Paul Strikwerda Two months ago, Paul decided to challenge Voices.com.

Sixty days later, his dollar-a-day membership plan paid off big time. With $2300 in the bank, Paul had earned more than 38 times his investment.

Paul speaks Dutch as his primary language, can perform accent-free Dutch, British English, German, and French.

Scott Clem Having been a Voices.com member since 2006, I cannot put into words how excited I was to open my inbox this morning and find a purchase order for a movie trailer to be voiced by li'l ol' ME! :) The transaction was fast and went off without a hitch.

My advice to anyone who has been with Voices.com for a good while and has not yet been hired is.... DON'T GIVE UP! Hang in there! It DOES happen!

Many thanks to the person who selected my voice for his project, and many thanks as well to Voices.com for the opportunity to make my voice heard among the masses.

I want to thank you very much for your personal interest in me

Laurynda -

I want to thank you very much for your personal interest in helping me get this. They heard me on Voices.com and said they found my read to be "informed - but not stuffy.."

The client is a brand incubator & marketing company with several products in the health and beauty field that are based in some pretty solid science. The project involved narrating a short video that explains a brand new weight loss product called Sensa. The clinical studies show it's dramatically effective because it signals the brain to tell the body to stop eating when it's time to stop eating. So it's natural, effortless. The appeal is to an informed, upscale audience. It allows me to tell a story and explain the inner workings - my specialty! On every count - this is the perfect kind of client for me.

I did the session for them yesterday and they seem very pleased with the results. I am pleased as well.

Again, thank you. I cannot imagine how - with all the talent on the site - you manage to take such a personal interest. I'm grateful.

Laurynda and everyone else at Voices.com,

Wow! I've been submitting auditions on voices.com for just a little over 1 week, and I've already won a job! I'm so impressed and pleasantly surprised! This has really boosted my confidence.

From the daily job notifications, to the how-to emails, to the blogs, to the simple steps to take after being awarded a job, I've really enjoyed using your stress-free system. Thanks for being such a wonderfully easy-to-use resource for voice actors!

All the best,

I'm happy to say I was contacted yesterday by one of your clients about doing an audio book. The book is on it's way to me in the mail and you should be hearing from him soon about setting up a payment.

Thanks for being here!

Sincerely,
