This is a helpful and informative article. Thanks very much for sharing some of your knowledge! I’d been wondering whether VO directory memberships are worthwhile. Now I feel I have some good insight.

You’re absolutely right Bettye I am not! now if only you could give us a peak at that list! Now what about us poor folk who can’t go to your workshops… do you have them on video or provide them over skype or something?

In my workshops on this subject, The Voiceover Internet: The Audition Olympics, I provide worldwide online casting site information. Additionally, there are many sites with big money jobs, not the small money ones prevalent on the “great masses” sites. They have their place too. College kids and newbees can take the $100 and $150 jobs. But we pros who often have pro studios with ISDN and all the latest equipment, are set apart on certain sites who prevent those from joining who are not professionals with an ISDN studio. The overseas list is huge too. Not just Europe, but other countries including South America and Russia are looking for American English voices. China too. Those who think $5500 professional dues per year and even more money is too much obviously are not making much money.

I am really glad to see that voices.com changed their policy of showcasing “Recently Hired,” “Best Voices,” etc. In fact, I almost did not sign on with them for that very reason. I thought it was an unfair practice and does not allow for a level playing field.
Even now I wonder, like today, when I receive an audition in my inbox on April 13, and it is due on April 13, but was originally “posted” on April 9. Why did it take 4 days to get to me? Do others have higher priority in notification that I do?
