Graydon Smith of Redhead Media Solutions agreed to answer a few questions about his experience at Voices.com and how he used the service to find, select and hire talent. Recently Graydon completed a couple of projects at Voices.com and most recently hired Tom Pagnotti. Read more on his hiring experience.
How has Voices.com helped you with your project needs?
Being fairly new to the production industry, I didn't have any names in mind when looking for a voice that would fit with my client and the script; however, the level of quality responses I received upon posting the job was phenomenal.
Our clients are looking for more than generic demos, they want custom reads and almost every talent at Voices.com gives you one right out of the gate. For us, it makes it easy to prep a rough cut for the client that allows them to make a sound (pardon the pun) decision on who they want to move forward with, and there are no surprises.
Having used Voices.com exclusively for our talent, I can't say we've ever suffered from too few responses for our projects.
How did you select the talent?
I had so many great voices to choose from the client could not believe my company hadn't been in the business for years due to the quality we voices we could deliver. I also made a list of favorites for next time to keep track of the truly exceptional voices I want to remember
How would you describe your overall experience with the site?
I couldn't ask for a better outcome on this project. The client, the talent (Tom Pagnotti) and Redhead Media Solutions all benefited from a streamlined, easy process. In fact, it was so successful from the client perspective that they immediately wanted to produce anther spot with a female voice for their sister company knowing that they'll get a level of talent that will impress them, and their clients. They've become believers in using professional voice talent from http://www.voices.com, and won't be going back to the "free local radio station spots" ever again.
