Voices

This site came recommended on someone's YouTube channel as a free site to make money from home so I had to check them out. Upon scrolling through their website, it screams SCAM on all levels whether you're either a client or a talent. (Trust me, in this day & age of doing so much online work, companies like these are easier to spot from a mile away.) They do offer "free" services, not unlike other sketchy online money-making websites, and their extortionate membership fees of $499 and $2,999 per year are immediate red flags.
You may claim I'm misjudging them but I don't want you to experience the unnecessary headaches of these online scams. When a business model is out there to help people, you can tell. When it is there to make money at all cost, you can also tell. Never mind whatever it is promising you, that is just the bait.

This website is being run by people who are in it to make money, period. From my years of working online, such people will take advantage of you whether you're a job seeker or job provider. Ethics are non-existent & you should only proceed to work with them if you do not mind getting ripped off.
Because of my experiences on several online platforms like voices.com, I am taking the time write this review because I am tired of dishonest people enriching themselves over job-seekers & the employers who are honestly trying to help them.
If you're looking for talent, post on a legitimate job-search website. If you're looking for work, do the same - post your services on freelance sites or find a legitimate agency to work with. Do the hard work yourself. Avoiding the hard work is what gives these "companies" the opportunity to take advantage of you. Stay away from sites that promise a bed of roses and throw out sketchy "clauses" or vague conditions instead of being upfront and transparent with you. You'll be better off.

I'll keep this to the point as there was lot's discussed but wow! Cameron just gave me an rediculously helpful consultation! He gave me a ton of encouragment and ever more technical advice about my personal profile, the voices.com platform and much much more helpful information. Prior to the call he had prepared by listening to my demos and auditions to help give me on point feedback. Not only is this man fluent, articulate and a great to talk with but he knows his the vocies platform and the industry very well! Thanks so much my overall experience with Cameron was "above and beyond" as far as I'm concerned and my overall experience on voices.com has been excellent! Thanks very much to the entire staff and for our chat today Cameron! #youallrock

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.

So far I've been really impressed with the Voices.com platform and my interactions with the staff.

I had a great conversation/consultation with Cameron last week and he did a terrific job explaining to me what I needed to do to advance myself within Voices.com and in voice over in general. I actually first encountered Cameron on the Mission Audition podcast (another added value) and was able to glean some value from his tips on auditioning. I most appreciated that Cameron was friendly and flexible. He was willing to listen to a couple auditions to give me some engineering feedback that my novice skill set needed.

As far as the platform is concerned, I haven't been able to book a gig yet but that result falls on my shoulders. I needed the consultation with Cameron to step my game up and I'm thankful that a consultation comes with the fee you pay to audition.

The platform is really user friendly and matches up with jobs that are a strong fit for your abilities. Coming from a career in sales, it's really great to have leads COME TO YOU. Now it's just up to you to show em what ya got!

As we a human being.I know that the voice is important to tell our felling with other. Animan don't have voice but they also comunicate

I was a Voices member since 2016. I worked the craft part-time, took a year off while working full time corporate because I did not have the time to devote to daily auditions. When I retired over 2 years ago, I had missed this little "hobby" of mine and signed up again. Mind you, I had attended voiceover classes for a couple of years, spent monies there as well as having a professional demo created. Most times, it felt like the monies we shelled out for premium yearly memberships were just draining the funds of struggling voice actors! There were occasional webinars that were helpful, but they expect us to shell out hundreds of dollars just to VIEW the available jobs. Quite often, jobs would go into "deciding" or "completed" status and your audition was never even listened to! I was only awarded one position, and while I did get paid and a nice review from the ad agency, the client opted for a male voice instead. I requested a 50% off membership since I have been loyal for several years, but I was turned down. Best they could do was $399. Sorry, but when you are retired and on a fixed income, it's very nervy and unfair to expect people to pay that much for a one-year membership! They are already getting paid by the clients to advertise their jobs--isn't that sufficient? Obviously not and very greedy. Now, I am downgraded to a "free guest" membership. NOTHING is ever free--this membership does not allow you to view ANY jobs, but the clients can "find you". Good luck with that. This was a huge disappointment. They would not work with me on price, and didn't care to lose a member. There was no damage control, and that is just poor customer service. Best to find another "pay to play" site and stay away from this group. They will just drain your bank account.

I started auditioning with Voices.com about 4 years ago, and since then I have grown my fledgling interest in VO into a full time job. I will say it takes a LOT of work. I have to do many auditions to book enough work to sustain me, but I love being able to work for myself whenever I want. And I have clients that return to me for repeat jobs so it just keeps growing. I know that they take more commission than is usually acceptable here in the states, but to me it is the cost of doing business in this new VO landscape where much auditioning and work can be done from home, and more and more work is going non-union. I really do understand how people who have been doing VO for a long time are unhappy with the way things are now. However, to me it's a no-brainer: for a small yearly fee (seriously I make it back with one job!), I have access to auditions and jobs and clients that I just wouldn't have otherwise. So for my part, I am happy to keep doing business with them for as long as I can. And their customer service is fantastic. Truly great. Obviously it would be better if they took a more industry-acceptable commission, like 10-15%. However, I am a very happy customer and I recommend them to people all the time. Thank you so much for my new career!
