Voice Talent Websites at Voices.com Receive New Look

Voices.com, the #1 voice marketer, has just given voice talents a smart, new reason to direct traffic to their freshly spruced up websites at Voices.com.

Voices.com, the industry leading voice marketer, has recently updated the layout and capabilities of their voice talent customers’ websites hosted at Voices.com. Voice talents now enjoy more opportunities to customize and brand their websites, receive payments via PayPal, as well as target keywords and optimize their websites for the search engines with new SEO tools to market their voices.

Voice talents listed with Voices.com can now change the theme of their website, selecting the color that best represents their personality. Talent can also pick graphics to designate the kind of MP3 voice-over demos they are showcasing on their websites, including images for commercials, station imaging, narration, telephone voice work, animation, cartoon voice-overs, corporate presentations, podcasting, and foreign language voice demos.

Many professional voice talents appreciate the new Studio field that enables them to list all of their studio equipment separately, including their microphone, computer and software, special equipment, delivery options, and their turnaround time. Each sub field in the Studio is accompanied by a graphic representing the field, visually enhancing the section of the website while drawing attention to the importance of the items listed.
