I’ve been working full time as a voice over actor for about two years now. I have several agents, who all work really hard for me, but the majority of my work is via online websites like Voice123.com and Voices.com.
I also teach classes about how to be successful at the kind of voice over work I’m doing. Where you set up your own studio, learn how to record and edit, find and negotiate your own work and collect all your money sans a $300 or so annual membership fee.
In my course work I talk about how I’ve, personally, had more luck with Voice123 than Voices in the past but that I’ve noticed there are people doing well on Voices.com. When I did some investigating to see who those people were I noticed they all had one thing in common – Platinum level memberships.
I paid something like $299 for the year but these guys paid $2000. They get priority listing on searches (huge) and they get an entire PR department working for them, including press releases and ad campaigns for their voice.
I spoke with someone at Voices.com today and they said all of their current Platinum members give it a 10 out of 10 rating. I’m thinking about signing up and posting the results play by play on this blog so that, if it sucks, you won’t have to waste your money.
Stay tuned!
