Internet gives voice to unseen actors
Today, it's almost too easy. Voice actors can be their own agent. Clients find them through personal
Web sites or via talent-congregation sites Voices.com.

The Do-It-Yourself Economy
Rather than hiring local voice talent for $250 to $500 per hour we
searched the Internet for high-quality voices that we could afford. We
found several sites offering various forms of narration or voice-overs.
We selected www.voices.com. In less than one minute, we created an
account, posted our requirements and solicited bids. Within five
minutes, we had 10 to 15 applicants charging 10 percent of what
Greer would have paid live talent.

Voices.com's Graphic Design
Voices is larger, but tighter. More technically productive, but simpler to
use. It has evolved, really. It is hard to make something of Voices'
proportions into a truly elegant thing, but Voices may well have done
just that.
- Paul Glazowski, Mashable
