Voice123.com Wants To Turn My Account In-Active!

Actually that was a bit sensationalist of me. I just got an email from them telling me if I dont log onto my account on their system that I would be marked as inactive because I havent visited my page in 30 days… Actualy I havent visited my page in like 3 months but hey! who’s counting. Geez how much more active can I be though! I post almost twice a day on my blog. Granted I am a free subscriber to their service and dont pay anything… but so far since I joined… I have received 1 …. that’s right folks … 1 request for submitting a quote. That’s why I don’t visit… I don’t know how many people visit the voice123.com profile site of mine (that’s a paid service) so I cant judge if paying to join them is worth the money / effort.

The Two Vs

March 15, 2009  |  Articles, Casting Sites  |  No Comments  | 

Hello All, This is my first of probably not many posts on the Voice Over industry and my personal experience as a VO talent.

For the past week or so now voiceover-casting.com members have had a heated debate on the pros and cons of voice over casting websites like www.voices.com and www.voice123.com. The majority of the veterans prefer not having websites like these because they bring down the VO rates. As a veteran Creative Director in an Advertising company and someone with 13 years as an Art Director I know that often new talent will try to undersell their talent to get their first and second job… what that does of course is cause problems for the established talent because the client (who understandably wants to pay less for any and all services especially in our failing global economy… thank you very much Dubya) wants the job done and doesn’t want to pay that much for it.
