<h3>Paul's Story</h3>

<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Paul Strikwerda" src="http://blogs.voices.com/buzz/Paul-Strikwerda.jpg" width="187" height="230" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></span>Two months ago, Paul decided to challenge Voices.com.</p>

<p>Sixty days later, his dollar-a-day membership plan paid off big time. With $2300 in the bank, Paul had earned more than 38 times his investment.</p>

<p>Paul speaks Dutch as his primary language, can perform accent-free Dutch, British English, German, and French.</p>

         <title>DON&apos;T GIVE UP! Hang in there! It DOES happen!</title>

<p>My advice to anyone who has been with Voices.com for a good while and has not yet been hired is.... DON'T GIVE UP! Hang in there! It DOES happen!</p>

<p>Many thanks to the person who selected my voice for his project, and many thanks as well to Voices.com for the opportunity to make my voice heard among the masses.</p>

         <title>I want to thank you very much for your personal interest in me</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Bob_006.jpg" src="http://blogs.voices.com/buzz/Bob_006.jpg" width="180" height="201" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" /></span></p>

<p>Laurynda -</p>

<p>I want to thank you very much for your personal interest in helping me get this. They heard me on Voices.com and said they found my read to be "informed - but not stuffy.."</p>

<p>The client is a brand incubator & marketing company with several products in the health and beauty field that are based in some pretty solid science. The project involved narrating a short video that explains a brand new weight loss product called Sensa. The clinical studies show it's dramatically effective because it signals the brain to tell the body to stop eating when it's time to stop eating. So it's natural, effortless. The appeal is to an informed, upscale audience. It allows me to tell a story and explain the inner workings - my specialty! On every count - this is the perfect kind of client for me.</p>

<p>I did the session for them yesterday and they seem very pleased with the results. I am pleased as well.</p>

<p>Again, thank you. I cannot imagine how - with all the talent on the site - you manage to take such a personal interest. I'm grateful.</p>

<p>Laurynda and everyone else at Voices.com,</p>

<p>Wow! I've been submitting auditions on voices.com for just a little over 1 week, and I've already won a job! I'm so impressed and pleasantly surprised! This has really boosted my confidence.</p>

<p>From the daily job notifications, to the how-to emails, to the blogs, to the simple steps to take after being awarded a job, I've really enjoyed using your stress-free system. Thanks for being such a wonderfully easy-to-use resource for voice actors!</p>

<p>All the best,<br />

         <title>I&apos;m Excited To Be Part of a Quality Marketplace for Talent</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Debby Cardarella" src="http://blogs.voices.com/buzz/debby-cardarella.jpg" width="190" height="244" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></span>Dear Stephanie,</p>

<p>I wish to applaud the marvelous updates that your team has made to voices.com.</p>

<p>Without question, it is the finest talent/client match-up forum on the web. And if I were to advise talent as to which site to join, I would have no compunctions in recommending Voices.com. Not only are your job leads superior, but your team has always been generous with their time when communicating with talent.</p>

<p>And I would be remiss if I did not mention that the demos vocalists cut and upload are not adulterated in anyway as they are at some competing sites. This is so very critical as it often takes talent an hour or more to deliver a very fine demo.</p>

<p>To boot, it appears that the site has become even more user friendly. Kudos to everyone at Voices.com.</p>

<p>Today is my renewal date, and I am excited to once again be part of a quality marketplace for talent.</p>

<p>We absolutely LOVE <a href="http://www.voices.com">Voices.com</a>.  The site, the talent, the process - right down to customer service - pure professionalism and superb quality.  </p>

<p>We are Explainer Video, and we specialize in making explanatory videos for the web and TV.  </p>

<p>We work with clients to create the ideal script to tell their story. We bring it to life using a wide variety of animation and film editing techniques, voice overs (thank you), sound design and music - all approved by the client, of course, and produce simple, yet engaging videos - that won't fade over time.</p>

<p>Using Voices.com allows us to set the bar high - the quality of the talent makes us work harder in all the other creative areas!</p>

<p>Thanks so much and we look forward to years of collaboration.</p>
