Debbie Munro's Success Story
When I heard that there was a contest about testimonies for Voices.com Success stories, I knew I had to be the one because I am, at least in my opinion, a walking success story for Voices.com. I got my career started with Voices.com. I started in this industry about 15 years ago, cumulatively, and I really went full boar into the online voice over market about 8 years ago. In that time, I met up and found Voices.com.
Since that time, I now have a full-time roster of clients to choose from and I owe so much of it to Voices.com.
Yes, I had to be a good marketer, yes I had to do a ton of stuff but voices.com allowed me a hub. It allowed me an area to audition up to 10-15 auditions a day so it is overwhelming to me what Voices.com offers. And then they just started growing, and growing, and growing and it wasn't just the auditions anymore. They were personable, they attended all the events, we got to meet them in person, they reached out to us... they reached out to us and cared and they didn't have to. They could have stayed up there as a hidden entity and we could have kept paying them for our yearly service and kept getting what we get from them because it's enough... but they didn't stop there.
They have VOX Daily, which is daily information that educates you and it helps you grow. They have podcasts and experts and coach's corners and all sorts of information that the talent can grow with.
Not only have I used them as a voice talent but as a coach. I'm a voice coach and I recommend Voices.com all the time, ALL THE TIME, whether they know it or not. You can't help but to recognize it because it is the best educational tool you could ever purchase. Where else can you get that kind of auditions everyday, learn to voice them, listen to client specs, read between the lines, edit them, upload them, and then hope to get a job. And even in you didn't get a job in one year's time, well, that tells you that you need some more training by the way, even if you didn't get a job in one year's time, that's the best education you could have ever asked for at a very good rate. Less than what I charge for a full weekend.
We need Voices.com. We can't survive this industry as a full-time voice talent without sites like Voices.com.
I went through a time where I wasn't auditioning for a couple of years in a row here, just the last few years in fact, and I was getting a little discouraged because sure I was getting lots of auditions, I have 7 agents, I have several other opportunities for voice work and I have tons of return clients, but I tend to coach a lot. So I was finding myself balancing more coaching than I was voicing so I decided one day to just have a two-week stint of just auditioning, and where did I go? Of course, to Voices.com!
So I started auditioning and it was fantastic. Well, in fact it was so fantastic I booked a job the next day after the first day. Within the following three weeks, I booked 7 jobs. 7 jobs! It was only really about 3 days of auditioning over a 2-week time span and out of that I booked 7 or 8 jobs, and 3 of those jobs were over $3,000 so they weren't little tiny jobs.
I don't have the time anymore to audition for the little jobs so I like that the rates are all there for me because that tells me not to audition for it, or to go for it, or to take the time off to make sure I do it.
Voices.com has it set up just right. I mean they know exactly what they're doing and you can tell that they really care, and all I ever care about is associating myself around people who care about my results, because the more people that care about my results, the better results I will get and Voices.com is that and more.
I want to take a special moment as well to thank Stephanie and David because they have done so much for our voice community. They've let themselves be known, they've become a big part of us, and they've made themselves our family. I just think that they've worked so hard, and I know they've been acknowledged, but I just want to acknowledge them again and tell them how grateful we all are for what you do for us and how accessible you make this industry for us.
If it wasn't for what you're doing, we wouldn't be doing it either, so it's a great team.
I'm honoured to give this testimony. I hope they use it, and even if they don't, I hope you hear it because it is 100% truth. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Voices.com to anyone.
Thank you guys. You're the best.
