Voices

Professional Gigs. Excellent Variety. Loads of Opportunities. No "chasing money"... and it's been a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE all the way around. 5 Stars All the Way!

Quick, easy, professional way to elevate any project to the next level.
Lots to choose from and able to select talent in your price range.

It was so nice to get a personalized holiday greeting card from voices.com. Nice that they think of me as a person rather than just a number.

Thank you Cameron so much for your help! You were very encouraging and I learned lots of great tips for auditioning!

Like a hammer and nail for a roofer Voices.com is for the VO talent... hats of to OUTSTANDING staff... SUPER staffers Ashlie Dobbs, Jessica Ellyatt, Stephania Nieto, Trevon Buccione, Dale Dupuis, Jennifer Strom, Sarah Jamieson AND MORE!... Voices.com ROCKS!

Always the best service! Fast responses and makes me feel like the issue is of the utmost concern there. Love this company! Matt is awesome!

I really like the service on voices.com. As voice artist also as a client, I'm always satisfied with the platform.

I absolutely love Voices.com and the staff. They are professional and provide a great service to businesses and voice talent!

Cameron was great - thoughtful in his explanations, enthusiastic about the work and platform, and considerate about my needs. Zero complaints!

Really loving the site and already getting VO work and lots of daily auditions. The customer service staff are so friendly and helpful too.

Super easy, friendly service and efficient. All three of the people I worked with were great. The whole process was seamless and easy.

Matt did a great job answering my demo question. I needed to tweak my demo profile to get more looks. Thanks Matt!

We were able to get two very professional voice overs in a short turn around time. The team at Voices.com is extremely responsive and helpful.

Voices.com is a really easy site to navigate, and the Customer Service Team responds quickly. Typically same day response time!

The team at VOICES.COM will walk you through the process at a very reasonable rate! Highly recommended!

Voices dot com staff,

It gives me great pleasure to write this message of gratitude for an administration that is clearly the barometer for all v/o websites, setting a new level and high standards by consistently raising the bar of professionalism within the industry.

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of receiving a telephone call from your Customer Service Representatives, Courtney Colin, from the Los Angeles, area.

Courtney was very knowledgeable, informed and very supportive in our conversation as she provided helpful insight to improving my profile and the exposure to potential clients on the Voices Platform. Courtney reviewed my stats prior to our conversation and was very well prepared and even walked me through navigating the Voices website. Her suggestions provided keen insight in promoting myself effectively to make improvements for a more positive result in the percentage rankings and job site opportunities.

Our conversation was thorough, complete and was even followed up by an email message highlighting the critical notes from our conversation.

It is this type of professionalism that simply amazes me, when a business and their representative takes a Personal Interest in its customers. Courtney humanized the cyber world with her warm receptive communication skills. She is an extremely valuable asset for Voices dot com, with her level of knowledge, courtesy and professionalism.

I would like to thank Courtney for her time and attention with respect to my account in Voices and I would also like to thank Voices Dot Com for recognizing Courtneys Customer Service Skills and for having her within the staff and on the customer service team.

I strive for a professional result when recording voiceovers and working with an organization that also strives for the same level of professionalism, puts us all united on a seamless mission to achieve the same goals.

Thank you all for taking an interest in me, as I am a small fish in an ocean of voice over talents, yet I am honored for the special attention Courtney and Voices have provided. Thank you all.

Professionally,
Dan Romo

We had a great time with voices.com - again. Super fast in replying emails and delivering on time.

A few things:
1.) Booking work on Voices.com can be quite challenging if you aren't among the top 100 talents or don't have rising star status, a new feature they introduced.

2.) Timing is critical when auditioning on Voices.com; if you don't submit your audition within the first 5 minutes of a job posting, it's unlikely you'll be considered. Once around 50 people have already auditioned, your chances diminish significantly.

3.) Voices.com has introduced a "Live Directed Session" feature, which they include in your quote, adding an extra cost to you. It's important to note that directed sessions are not a new concept in the industry; they have been standard practice for many years.

Here's my experience in more detail:
Over the course of four years on Voices, I've had some successes with job bookings and found transparency to be an issue initially. While the platform worked for a while, the dynamics changed, and now it seems like being in the top 100 is crucial for better opportunities. Most of the work leans towards corporate and explainer-type jobs, although there are occasional commercial opportunities too. However, a significant portion of the jobs, like in-perpetuity ads and eLearning narrations, offer relatively low pay.

Though I had a positive booking experience, I question the payment model, as there seems to be a 20% deduction for professional services without clarity on what those services entail. Voices' management can be elusive when asked about it. Additionally, the process can be frustrating, with roadblocks hindering progress just when momentum is building. This is likely driven by their desire to keep more money from talent.

Recently, budgets have shrunk, and commercial work has diminished or pays significantly lower with global usage buy-outs (See attached image). Many job invitations I receive now have meagre payments, making it challenging for experienced professionals. Unfortunately, Voices doesn't seem to prioritize higher-paying opportunities that would benefit talents and job managers. You are often limited within the confines or their corporate structure and have to play by their rules to achieve success. It would be beneficial if they stopped accepting jobs with small budgets, as this practice is negatively affecting the industry.

Regarding customer support, Voices' responses seem generic and don't provide actual solutions; it appears to be damage control for their declining online reputation.

My one-year membership has just run out and I have held off in commenting about my year long experience with Voices.com since it's been a mixed bag. My expectations when I took out a membership was to get feedback from my audio auditions resulting in some paying jobs. Despite submitting over 500 auditions none of these resulted in an acceptance. Not a single one! Every time I would carefully read the job parameters and rehearse the script, then submit with a short friendly intro saying'I am easy to work with and a consummate professional dedicated to bringing the highest level of quality to their project'.
When several months had gone by without any results I had 2,45-min conference calls with Cameron who offered constructive criticism. I reworked my profile, testimonials, experience listings, etc. at his suggestion. All without results. Subsequent emails to different representatives were usually answered in a timely fashion but significant difficulties were not resolved.
One of my biggest problems with this company is that they don't update the status of a job. I currently show 118 jobs to which I've applied dating back a full year to July 2019 and they still show as ‘undecided'. Voices.com says that some clients don't bother to update this and yet Voices must know if a job has been awarded since they act as an escrow entity, releasing funds to the V/O artist when a job is complete. This is a huge frustration and frankly seems suspect.
Another difficulty is one's inability to hear an awarded voice over. They say this is confidential and yet without being able to hear the difference in finished product anything I would submit is strictly conjectural. There is simply no standard or anything to compare yourself with from the actual jobs offered. It leaves one to suspect that the jobs were actually awarded. How would one know?
I know personally that my voice over abilities are marketable since I have worked in radio for the past 10 years and am frequently requested to provide the voice range for their numerous and varied advertising clients as well as PSAs for many non-profits.

So, if you want to use this company as a practice platform maybe it's worth $499 to you. But if you're expecting to get work from what might be several hundred auditions you apply for or to know the status of auditions you've submitted take heed and find another company.

I started on voices.com around 5 years ago. It's a great place to practice auditioning, and you will audition a lot. Problem is:
1- Many who post a job there do not hire anyone there.
2- The site lets anyone who is willing to pay their fee become a voice artist.
3- This makes it so some jobs will get over a hundred auditions and they might not even listen to yours.
4- You are competing for the job based on your guess of what the client really wants to pay. So people are getting voice overs for very little from those who lowball their price. So someone could get a lowball offer of $300 when they really should be paying over $600. And they just got over a hundred auditions because voice artists thought they would pay a reasonable price for the work.
5- When the client forgets to release funds you can't do anything about it. I had one job that still hasn't released funds and it has almost been a year. Customer service basically wants you to take care of any issues.
6- So at that point I stopped auditioning because I wasn't getting paid and I wasted almost an entire year subscription (hundreds of dollars).

So for voice artists there may be a lot of jobs posted, but there are a lot of people auditioning. I have found the amount of time I spent on voices.com versus the compensation to be far less than other sites I am on. Clients don't realize the time it takes to audition and how many auditions you do in order to get a job. They just think they are being ripped off because they have to pay more than $100. They never consider that they got 40 auditions which took 6-10 minutes each (that's around 8 hours of work done by others just so you can chose one person to record). Then when you take into account the work they do on the actual voice over it ends up that most people are making less than minimum wage. Of course, some are fortunate and get repeat customers. Almost a year ago they were promising big changes, and really they've just made the site look prettier - no real change to solve the problems. For those people looking for a voice artist and can pay more than $100 then you get to listen to a lot of auditions and choose who you like. You'll get the inexperienced with the more experienced, but if you want the best be willing to fork out more than $100. For those voice artists considering get a yearly membership, think twice. Sure you get the chance to audition for a lot of jobs, but only the lucky actually make much money. Plus you pay hundreds of dollars to audition.

Its been a pleasure working with Mr. Sergio Cordoba he is a great help
