Voices.com Helps Get Your VO Engine Going!
I am currently signed up with Voices.com and I figure for $39.00 bucks a month - what the heck!!! I am getting access to what looks like 8 auditions per day based on my category so far. How can you beat that? In fact I now have 2 paid jobs after just a month of auditions! It's exciting and motivating all at the same time. You don't have to get dressed up and the feeling of independents is priceless.
Sure, you do have to act quickly just as if you were a stock trader, BUT, It really comes down to your skills as an actor. I don't think I'm the greatest, but, I practice everyday and I have so much fun in the process!!! I study the current commercial field, paying more attention to the commercials than I do the TV programs!!!
For those who are thinking of getting into this line of work, Yes, it can be tough and competitive like anything else, BUT if you really and truly want it and practice-practice-practice it will pay off in much more than just money!!!! Ask lot's of questions and do your research. I would suggest even getting some form of mentor to the business if you can.
But, Voices.com has opened the success doors for anyone that wants to take a shot at the VO Industry. It is totally affordable, the staff is second to none with Jennifer, Scott and John who have been absolutely fabulous!! They take the time to answer the questions most of us have had or will have. Always professional, always courteous and very friendly. They even laugh at my jokes! (:
A very wise VO Guru once told me, "Sean the great thing about this career is, you can do it til the day you croak"!!! Thanks Mr. Nakamoto!!! And thanks Voices.com for making the industry much more beginner friendly!
Voices.com is an awesome and affordable way to get your VO engine going! For those of you considering a career with VO, Voices.com is a super place to start!!!

Awesome Support Staff!
By far, Voices.com has the most awesome support staff on the planet!
Each time I have had an issue they were there to bail me out - in spite of my harsh words in those moments of frustration.
You guys are not only real pros, generous and kind- but have very thick skin! Thanks for not being like the rest of the freelancer sites out there.
3 jobs done now with Voices - and feeling great about the momentum!
Wish me luck on those big projects!

Booked My First Job In The First Week
I used to be a member of a different online casting service and still have several recurring clients, but I had taken time off to get my little boy raised and ready for Kindergarten (5 years).
During all that time, I had maintained a free account on Voices.com. I was really happy when Sheldon, a Voices.com representative, contacted me during a special promotion to ask if I'd like to try a month for less than ten dollars. It gave me a chance to ramp up again, experiment with equipment and pricing and see what this new site could do.
I booked my first job in the first week, a quick on-hold voice. The second job was for a political ad and one is on hold pending a new script. Including the pending script, I have made about $600.00 for my $10.00 investment! I also got to meet a local producer and was asked by another if I would give him a rate for ongoing work.
This site has been great - easy to use and soooo helpful. I was more than happy to buy a year's membership (paid for by my first job). I coach local talent and will be happy to recommend this site to my students!
Love The Changes!
Hi Voices.com Team,
I just wanted to let you all know that the new changes, the percentage match and the gender match are great! And whether or not a voice has been reviewed!!! Also great.
Love it!
