Casting Sites Roundup

Morning Y’all.

I wanted to take a step back from my back to basics category of blog posts and take a look at what’s happening with the VO casting scene. I don’t think I need to interview anyone at this point in time since most of these are my thoughts and are very editorial like…

So yeah I was reading the Vox Daily blog from Stephanie at Voices.com and they were mentioning that they had to change the look of their front page to this…

What you’ll  notice is that they no longer have that list of showcased voice over talent… most viewed… most listened… recently hired etc. Read More

Stephanie from Voices.com Answers my Allegations of Marketing Negligence

Well Folks, It took her a little time but Stephanie Ciccarelli co-founder of Voices.com eventually got back to me on why Voices.com seemed to be burying their Ebooks section. Effectively unmarkating their marketing books. Here is my original post dated March 31st. link Here is her answer and rebuttal for my publishing haste: Hi Mahmoud, Thank you for emailing me. I read your article earlier this morning. The eBooks used to be promoted through the Voices.com Help section and in other places on the website.

Ladies and Gentlemen Hold On To Your Seats, We'll Be Experiencing Some Turbulence

Ladies and Gentlemen … this is your co-passenger Taji speaking. Please bare with us as the site is going through upgrades and you WILL be experiencing some turbulence. Last night for a few hours we had a “User Has Exceeded his Bandwidth Quota” sign on the front page and the hosting company didnt seem to be very happy with us… but ultimatly that’s good news from Fernando / Brian and the rest of the Voiceover-casting team cause that means their feldgling site (which I originally found out about through a Spam mail Brian was sending…. you didn’t think I’d let you off the hook for that didja B?) is getting hits and becoming more and more popular with the VO Community.
