Voices

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

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.
