Put Voices.com To The Test

So, you have an amazing voice, and people have said that you'd be perfect for audio books or radio commercials. Now what? Even if you are the most amazing talent in the world... if that world doesn't know anything about you, you'll have as much impact as the sound of one hand clapping.

If you want to be in business, you need a store, a cash register, a marketing & advertising campaign, a way to get your product to market, and first-class customer service. As voice-over talents, we have a huge problem: our product is invisible.

That's where voice-over websites come in. They can make the intangible, tangible. All of a sudden, the invisible can have a worldwide presence in the market place. Now, not all voice-over sites are created equal, and as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. But before I say anything else, here's a word of warning: I am probably going to sound like the guy who does all these "too good to be true infomercials". So, just hear me out, be a skeptic, and make up your own mind.

Two months ago, I decided to challenge Voices.com. I wanted those Canadians to prove to me that their pudding would be worth my investment. So, I signed up for a month-to-month membership, and as soon as I did, the auditions started rolling in. Sixty days later, my dollar-a-day membership plan paid off big time. Not only did I get some of the best voice-over projects in my career, with 2300 dollars in the bank, I had earned more than 38 times my investment.

Numbers don't lie, but they only tell part of the story.

For me, the true value of Voices.com is not only determined by the return on investment. Long before I became a paying member, I discovered that Voices.com is more than a store. The website offers an amazing wealth of voice-over information for newbies and seasoned pros alike... Just log on and you'll find free podcasts, expert blogs, anything from technical tips to current rate info.

Voices.com helps beginners to hone their craft, and it gives a platform to established talents to share their insights. Instead of having to reinvent the wheel, I learned from their mistakes and more importantly, from their successes.

Here's the thing: I didn't get into this business because I'm a marketing genius. I'd rather spend time in front of a microphone, than drumming up new business. Thanks to Voices.com, I can focus on what I do best! I can't even imagine how much money I'd have to spend to reach the number of voice-seekers Voices.com reaches each and every day. They make the connections, they do the legwork and they promote my skills. And at the end of the day, Voices.com even makes sure that I get paid.

Well, that's my story. But be a skeptic and do what I did: put Voices.com to the test. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Bon appétit!
