Superb guidance
July 3, 2019

Cameron is most helpful in every way. He was informative and fully understood all the points that I raised. He sent a full and comprehensive email of understanding so hopefully the next we speak it will be to discuss recent successes!
Cameron's advice was most important when it came to my own home studio concerns.
Thanks a lot!

Caveat emptor
August 8, 2016

I find no fault with the continuing education and training resources they offer. However, I find them notoriously silent when asked about their Professional Services program and how they determine what part of the voice seeker's budget goes to the voice actor. Questions on the topic went unanswered for months, the first response I did receive referred me to another person for answers, and my e-mail follow-up on that second person's unscheduled phone call also went unanswered. Even the latest update (January) regarding PS on the site's blog refers to clarification in the contract between Voices and the voice seeker, but not the voice actor. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that I preferred to have a record of the questions and answers about PS - the silence with which that e-mail was greeted is suspicious. Some people are doing well with Voices.com, and good for them, but I'm done with this runaround.

British voice over uk seems to think they are one if the best voice overs in the Industry.
The simple truth is that they aren't as there are so much better.
A Google research will show you that unreasonable and unreliable is commonly used.

My experience with this VO is that it's a very fair comment.

Great Staff, Unreliable Talent
February 26, 2016

Title says it all. Working with Lisi has always been a great experience and she has always helped our studio and client as much as possible and in a timely manner. My problem is the inconsistency of the talent knowledge of recording and acting versatility. I run the VO department for a game company and regularly hire voice actors from agencies local and abroad. The lack of recording knowledge that the actors have has sometimes forced me to miss client deadlines due to voices talent unbearable peaking audio deliveries. There doesn't seem to be a basic knowledge with all the actors which makes this service incredibly inconsistent. Some of the actors are also very inexperienced, which is why the service is so inexpensive, I understand, but being able to take direction is paramount in this field and sometimes talent falls painfully short. Professionalism on the actors part is also important and I have run into some situations where scripts were not printed in time for recording, forcing our studio and client to wait 15 - 20 min before recording. Nervousness to the point of apologizing more than acting. Tardiness to conference calls.

The staff, mainly Lisi, has been great at fielding better talent for our studio, but a lack of recording knowledge has been the hardest hurdle to overcome.

Is premium necessary?
August 1, 2021

Can I actually get a job here without getting a premium pack?
For $499 is too much for one to pay that way, that too in the beginning itself!

Hi Bhavya,
Yes, with a guest membership, which is free, you can create a profile, upload demos or portfolio samples, and be privately invited to jobs. The key to this is making sure you maximize your profile. In order to be matched to jobs, however, you do need a premium membership. A guest membership is a good place to start. More information on our memberships can be found here: https://www.voices.com/talent-memberships. We hope that helps - best of luck!

Disappointing
November 12, 2020

The site allows clients to bid down industry standard rates to pitiful amounts.

The site is also incredibly convoluted especially on the client side.

The customer service management is a joke.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have recently updated our Voice Over Rate Sheet which is backed by data on actual buying patterns and behaviors to inform clients on industry rates, which can be found here: https://www.voices.com/rates. In addition, we encourage talent to submit quotes that are reflective of the value of their services, even if it is in excess of a client's budget. It is then up to the client to make an informed hiring decision, balancing the quality of the performance against their budgetary requirements.

We're sorry to hear you found the site to be convoluted and we'd like to hear more about your experience. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at feedback@voices.com. We want to make sure your voice is heard as we continue to improve.

I was with voices back in 2008 & 9, then, went in another direction with my career/business. I just re-upped at the Premium level and within 2 weeks have made almost $2,000! These jobs would NOT have been on my radar screen if not for Voices.com. Michelle, Barb, Brooke and Shan (my personal rep), have been very helpful whenever I have had questions about a job, my studio/sound, the process... whatever. If you're just starting out, this is perfect for you... if you're an old pro like me (30 = years behind the mic), it's still a GREAT value and even if you already have an agent (I do), Voices is the best platform out there.

Cameron had a chat with me this morning and he was very helpful and understanding about my studio, suggesting I add a pop filter, and fine tuning a couple of things to help the quality of my recording really shine. While I can't configure a full-time dedicated studio, he was helpful in telling me what also could be done to ultimately, book jobs!
Thanks, Cameron!

I'm just starting out with voice work, so the consultation with Cameron was a great jumping off point.
He answered what questions I had, provided real insight into things I can improve on my profile and tips for what I should do not only to keep get things rolling, but to keep the forward momentum.
His willingness to help is exactly what anyone needs when they're just beginning.

Best Site For Voice Actors
February 13, 2016

I've been doing voice over professionally for more than 15 years and have used several online agencies. Without a doubt, voices.com is the best site available, particularly for new and part-time talent looking to break into the industry. I'm a big fan of the voice match function, the email notification system and the escrow payment program which protects talent from inexperienced or unscrupulous voice seekers. Voices.com customer service is top-notch and its resource library is unparalleled. I encourage all voice over artists to join voices.com and I assure you the cost of the premium subscription is absolutely worth access to so many great voice over jobs.

Working with the Best!
November 5, 2015

I have had the opportunity to work with a number of the agents and customer service reps at Voices.com. Without exception, they have been the most pleasant and supportive group of voice industry professionals I've have the privilege to experience. I found them to work tirelessly to ensure the client's needs are met while clearly communicating those needs to me as the projects progressed. I always felt their support and their cheery sense of humor was welcome! Today, there are many choices for voice artists when it comes to getting work... and I am confident I made the best choice with Voices.com

Character Gig
March 4, 2019

I have been hoping to carve out a niche as a character voice actor as I feel this is where my strengths are. Recently, I auditioned for a job involving character voices for a children's educational video game and I landed the gig. Success! There were several parts to be voiced, including various monsters (not so scary ones!), a concerned father and a narrator. It was a great experience, lots of fun, I got to express my character acting skills and the client was very pleased with the results! Hoping for much more of the same in the future!

Great New VO Option!
January 30, 2017

Our company started using your service due to several studios closing in our area, also because of the lower competitive pricing options.

So far our experience has been nothing short of pleasant!

Ian Callander, one of Senior Management Reps, and Jennifer Mason, our Project Administrator, are always helpful and answers any question we had.

They walk us through the process and are attentive in tending to our needs and our clients needs.

We will definitely continue to use their services in the future!

Puts the best talent at your fingertips...
January 22, 2016

I admit I was a bit skeptical going from in-studio recording with talent to shifting over to the voices.com model. But it's made us more productive and put a wealth of talent at our fingertips that we'd never have had access to.

Their team is very responsive and they go out of their way to make sure you're happy. They are my go to recording service and a true secret weapon for casting some amazing talent.

Voices.com has been an amazing springboard to the start of my voice over career. I knew I wanted to make the change from the dull, 9-5 workday to full-time voice acting, and Voices has helped tremendously. It's a great service to get your name/voice out in the industry and establish a solid client base for your career. Easily one of the best choices I've made in choosing a P2P site to start out with!
And the support staff is always on top of things, and ready to tackle any question or concern you may have. Specifically, Matt W., helped me on a few occasions with different issues, and he's always come through for me--he's a champ.
