The BIGGEST Mistake Voice Talent Make Using Pay-to-Play Services 

Speaking as a Voices.com client: another great tip is to READ THE DIRECTIONS. 16 of the 18 sample reads I got, the actor didn't follow the directions. Thankfully, one of the two people who actually followed the directions was perfect for my needs. She charged a higher price than the other actors, and I was happy to pay it for a job well done.

Ask her why Voices now along with your 400-500 yearly subscriptions they also are now taking about 40-50% of payment for finished project . I left them 2 years ago

The single best piece of advice I've heard in a long time. Thanks, Bill! And Jennifer!

Great advice as always. Thanks for the help. It makes so much sense after knowing how the system is designed.

3:58. You're welcome

Thank you Bill and Jennifer; the information on how critical it is to CORRECTLY complete the profile was spot on.

What if there's 50 people with 80% or higher of a match? If everyone just uses the same keywords there wont be any sorting... right?

I did 115 auditions on voices before I landed a gig. 3200 word e learning module.

Thank you for this thank you thank you thank you

Great info Bill. Just signed up with Voices.com and looking forward to developing a good client roster Thanks. .

Yeah, I was that guy that did it for a month, got frustrated and cancelled. But it took that to make me realize I didn't know much about doing voice over work. I had a Shure SM-58 mic I picked up animation, and had done a couple of local gigs for people because they told me I had a great voice. I had some theatre in high school and college, and sang in a couple bands. One 3 minute long voice over job for a demo. I thought I had it in the bag, LOL. (*shutters from embarrassment*) Now I have a Sennheiser MK4, and after watching your series Bill, I feel I am much better equipped to tackle a membership on voices.com once I save up for a Whisper Room this summer! Thank you Bill DeWees.

Bill Rocks!

So would you say it would be better to have a 30 sec demo for each category then?

Jennifer should be using something better than 6 dollars microphone.

This is awesome advice.

hi am looikng for one record my voice for my elvis singing and i sound like him to my voice is amazing to and im looikng to be discovred for my talent to help my songs on utube i record in a studio in and they told me i sounded like elvis presley from rugby

They weren’t married when they first met? You’re kidding! LOL! That hardly ever happens. 😄

Getting your demo seen by the right person sounds very much like SEO (search engine optimization). If you want to be seen for business and have no business keywords you aren't going to show up in the search results.

So true.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH!!!!!!!! jeeesh….. It's French for "hole in the wall."
