Thanks for giving a good example of a client that storms away pissed off because I told them that I will not post a job for less than $100.

Matthew wanted to post a vo job for $30 and I refused… after which a name slinging match started.

I suggest that if you find postings by this client on other voice over websites that you do not waste your time auditioning for it. Maybe that will help him realize that his unprofessional method of communication is not welcome in the Voice Over industry.

I found Armin Hierstetter to be an extremely arrogant, and had no respect for potential users of his voice talent webpage. I would encourage others to use http://www.voice123.com or http://www.voices.com. His plain disrespectful replies to emails, calling first time users \ignorant\ will surely mean this company will not grow.

Fantastic interview.

No employees, but the best poster boy of the vo marketplace Mr. Taji.

As a relative newcomer to the world of voiceover, on the verge of launching into my post-Navy career, I found this interview extremely helpful. In spite of all that I have read and heard about doing business half-way around the world, only now does it sound simple. Finding quality companies to associate with is often a challenge. Thank you for introducing us to Bodalgo. And good luck in your future expansion Armin.
Best regards,
David

It’s great to see someone behind a pay-to-play VO site stand firm on quality and fair compensation. Bravo!
