         <title>Voice Actor Ralph Hass Made our First-time Hiring Experience Seamless</title>

<p>His speediness and attention to detail was top notch! His vocal range was impressive, and most importantly he was a true professional, a genuinely nice person, and took our project seriously. We’ll definitely be using his services again soon. There’s no denying that <a href="http://ralphhass.voices.com/">Ralph HAS The Voice</a>!</p>

         <title>Can We Do it Again... Soon?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><img alt="Sandy Kelley" src="http://blogs.voices.com/buzz/sandy-kelley-voice-talent.jpg" width="190" height="231" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;"/></span>I'm not sure what was happening earlier this week... perhaps I was up at the top of the featured list? But for the first time, in a very long while, I received several inquires, out of the blue, for quotes and did generate one job out of it.</p>

<p>So this is just a thank you for whatever you did. Can we do it again... soon?? </p>

<p>Many thanks,</p>

         <title>I&apos;ve Acquired 4 Good Jobs in My First 7 Weeks at Voices.com</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><img alt="jason leblanc voice actor" src="http://blogs.voices.com/buzz/jason-leblanc-voice-actor.jpg" width="188" height="283" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;"/></span>Hey everybody,</p>

<p>I just wanted to thank Voices.com for all the hard work and great care they take in affording their members the opportunity to garner work they would not have other wise been able to solicit.</p>

<p>I have been a member for 7 weeks now, and have acquired 4 good paying, well above minimum jobs, as well as the contacts that come from it. From Canada to New Orleans, Vegas to Houston. Pretty cool what you can do with a good supporting cast, a mic, a computer, and the fact that I’m a composer, musician, vocalist, as well as a voice actor.  One of the jobs I got was a jingle… Cool.</p>

<p>I briefly stuck my toes in the water at that 123 place, and found it to be much different, and I absolutely love the fact that Voices has a $100 minimum. Hey, we are pros, and deserve at least a decent minimum for our talent, studio time, and electricity... </p>

<p>Through my association with <a href="http://www.voices.com">Voices</a>, <a href="http://www.voice-overs.com/forum/">Julie Williams' forum</a>, and now <a href="http://irockthemicvo.ning.com/">I Rock the Mic</a>, I landed a pretty cool gig on a new, soon to be released "Star Trek" animated series. I'm Capt. Aaron Glenn Commander USS Azrael in "USS Farragut - The Animated Episodes".  I even did the trailer.  Pretty cool stuff. <a href="http://www.starshipfarragut.com/">Here's the link to that.</a> <br />
 <br />
Click on the "Special Episodes" link above the pic for trailer and press release. </p>

<p>Thanks Voices... I'm grand-fathered, and happy to be here...</p>

         <title>It Has Taken Off Rapidly!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>This is truly exciting and a success story for me. It is always said that patience pays off and it is paying off very well. I had been on Voices.com for a year without any response.  This is my second year and it has taken off rapidly.</p>

<p>I have been contacted three times in the last two weeks and have gotten work; I have already recorded one job and got paid. The second one will be recorded on Monday and the third is to be recorded on Tuesday. The first company was out of Toronto, the second out of Chicago and the third out of California.</p>

<p>I will be putting up these recordings when I have them all completed.</p>

<p>These three jobs have already paid for my memberships and this year I will be doing a lot of marketing through Voices.com.</p>

<p>Thank you Voices.com.</p>

         <title>Thank You For INCREDIBLE Customer Service!</title>

At the moment, I'm a part time talent (not for much longer though!) and having the ability to submit generic demos, makes it possible for me to get a few more auditions in during the day.</p>

<p>I also want to thank you for your INCREDIBLE customer service. I've had NIGHTMARE service from your major online competitor, but you guys have always been so pleasant with me and so wonderful dealing with my questions and issues. I really, really appreciate that and will continue to spread the word on how much I love Voices.com. </p>

<p>Thank you! </p>

<p>I voiced a .30 and .60 for Columbia Water and Light through AdWorks. It was a character read and I had a great time recording it. The spots started airing in Columbia, Missouri on April 10. It was a great experience. They used my .30 audition and the first take I submitted.</p>

<p>It was a great experience.</p>

         <title>Voices.com U-ROCK!</title>

<p>About three weeks ago I read an e-mail that was sent from VOICES.COM. It was from a local Computer Corporation called <a href="http://skytap.com/">SKYTAP</a> they were in dire need of a Voice Over Artist that was Local and they were on DEADLINE.</p>

<p>Through VOICES.COM they chose my sound and hired me for a 2 min. intro and a ten min. product tour! </p>

<p>The client and myself formed a lasting working relationship and friendship and last night I went to a rockin' Launch Party for the project and landed a few other gigs in the process! It was so great to meet the actual Client and the other talents who were also involved in the project!</p>

<p>Thanks for the work! Voices.com U-ROCK! </p>

<p>Just a note to let you know that I got the Rove Mobile gig that was posted last week on Voices.com. Many thanks!</p>

<p>For what it's worth, this is actually the first gig I've gotten from responding to a lead at the site, although lots of other past work has come my way just from my listing.</p>

<p>Earlier this year, I had a client that heard about Voices.com via a search for voiceovers on the Net.</p>

<p>They went through and listened to a variety of voices on the Voices.com site and then offered me an opportunity to read an audition of their product. I did, they approved and I am now on retainer as the national spokesperson VO for Thomasville Furniture. </p>

<p>Thank you Voices.com!</p>

         <title>Surprised to find it&apos;s easier to find talent to record locally online!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Laurynda,</p>

<p>I just wanted to thank you for Voices.com's wonderfully helpful service.  I had no idea this site existed until someone pointed the website out to me, and now I only wish I knew about it earlier.  I had 94 responses within 24 hours of my posting, so, if anything, the website works too well!</p>

<p>One of the respondents wrote that they could not believe that we needed to find someone to do a voice over in LA since there should be plenty to choose from.  To that I would respond that while there might be tons of local people here who could and would help us, finding them is a whole other challenge.  That is where your service helps no matter where you are from.</p>

<p>We ended up working with <a href="http://craigieb.voices.com/">Craig Burnett</a> who we found via Voices.com</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>
