There's a reason his schedule is booked out for a month. There were several tips for success that Cameron made me aware of that weren't even on my radar before. I'm so grateful for his help!
You get to talk with real people everyday when you need help and have questions with voices.com. Cameron is a great representative and is willing to help at the drop of a hat. Thanks again!
voices.com is a wonderful company and group of people that are so positive and very eager to help if you have challenges. They are very much appreciated. Thank you very much Emily!
Cameron is great at explaining, thoughtful, and enthusiastic. He was very patient with me and helped me in everything I wanted to know! Great work, Cameron!
Hi Karla,
Thank you for your review - Cameron will be thrilled to hear!
I hired talent for some marketing videos. The talent is top notch and the platform is quick and easy to use. Customer service is great too. Highly recommend Voices.com!
It is one of the best organisation. They are thorough professionals. On time performance is one of the best side.

When applying for a voice acting job to trying to listen to your recording to even trying to see the dates of when it is due by the app is constantly crashing

I have only been active with Voices.Com for barely 8 months and it has been GREAT!
I have been able to utilize your vast resources, attend Webinars, ask for help and advice from your Staff (Congratulations - from my years of management experience you are fortunate and employ excellent People), audition as much as possible and continue to develop my expertise as a Voice Talent.
I have had opportunities that would not have occurred without being a premium member, great Clients, projects and professional friendships, even messages from projects that were not awarded but that would like to work together in the future when my voice style/tonal quality is better suited.
Voices.Com is the best! What some call Pay 2 Play, I now call it Play 4 Pay!
I do have only one regret and recommendation:
I should have started sooner, there is no time or reason not to begin immediately. The missed opportunities and experiences will not expedite your career goals and I won't bother to list all the Platitudes that will attest to that!
Thank You Kelly Mathews, David Gravelle, Matt, Ashley Schmidt, the Ciccarellis and the entire staff at Voices. Com.
Best Regards,
David
I have auditioned several times using voices.com and just booked a talent with them on this latest project. It was a very straight forward process.

Hi John,
Thank you for taking the time to review us! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your consultation with Cameron and that his advice was spot on! Thanks again.
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!
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.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We’re happy to hear that you have had many positive experiences on Voices, booked work, and felt that Voices was transparent and upfront, always ensuring payment.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience has not been as positive this last year, and we’ll pass your feedback along to our team. Voices certainly wants to attract a wide range of jobs with a wide range of budgets, including high-paying commercial opportunities, and we work hard to bring these types of opportunities to the platform.
Although we do allow for jobs with lower budgets to ensure that those Talent who wish to respond to smaller-budget jobs may do so, it’s definitely not our aim to make those the only kinds of jobs available. That would not serve our Talent well and would not serve us well as a business.
We are also working on updating our usage and licensing parameters to ensure that in-perpetuity is selected by clients only when it absolutely needs to be, as we know this has been an area of frustration for Talent.
We’d love to speak to you one-on-one to see what we can do to improve your experience. If that is of interest to you, please reach out to talent@voices.com and Evan Wiebe would be pleased to chat with you and look at the types of jobs you’re seeing to ensure everything is operating as it should be.
Thank you again for taking the time to write, and thank you for being such a valued member of Voices.
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.

Answer: 1%. Very very few click through, and I offer a range of services that should make me stand out more than the competition. I had 1 contract last year. 10 Years ago it was closer to 30-40%.
