I'm one of those guys that just quit his job, signed up, and I've been auditioning for a week now. I haven't gotten a like yet, but I'm determined. Its a swim or swim situation. I listened to every word and believe this will help a ton. Thank you both! This was a Really awkward jump, but it will land!
How's it going? I'm looking to do the same.
Where are you at in the career now?
where you at meow 10 months later?
Yeah, what now?
Hopefully you are still around.
It's interesting to see someone from an online voice site talk about working with agents, since that could be seen as 'the competition'. I find it refreshing.
Agents suck
She says 2 to 7% of the jobs they audition for, but the reality is that not all your auditions are listened to. At one time, I was at 1 out 24 that I auditioned for, not bad, but 1 out of 10 that were actually listened to. This year it’s 41 to 1. Literally one job. If too many people are auditioning for the same job, it seems like they won’t get around to listening to your audition.
Dangggg your information is indispensable, thanks so much, Julianna and StageMilk!
Thanks Levi!
Gostei de você 😍
Gostei muito de vc
Wow these are great questions being asked. Thanks for the help
No worries glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video!❤️ Very informative.❤️ God bless.🙏
Thank you!
good info! very useful! many thanks for doing the interview!
Thanks mate! Plenty more to explore on the channel.
What do I do after signing up
I can't seem to get a job after clicking on them
Great advice. Appreciate the detail provided! Thanks guys.
Thanks mate. Have you used the platform before?
@@StageMilk Just signed up. Professional Actor, yet beginner when it comes to Voice Over work. Coaching, and Professional Demo under my belt but didn't appreciate just how much Voice Over work is available online.
@@maxbelmonte Amazing. Let me know how you find it.
@@StageMilk So, signed up after the video. Straight away I worked on uploading the right demo's. I've already completed a few jobs and am auditioning every week. Great result. The more work I put in auditioning, the better I become at understanding exactly what is required for the type of job. This is key as there are so many differences between auditioning for the different categories.
Phenomenal talk. I love the challenge of vo. Never a dull moment and it's a case of 'be careful what you wish for' since my last job was repetitive and mundane
It’s a great industry - but definitely do lots of research on voices.com as it is expensive and not always the best way to get started in the industry
@@StageMilk Yes there was a lot of trial and error with my studio so I enlisted the help of a professional and it's much better now
@@daniellee1722 often the way - but glad to hear it’s all sorted!
Awesome information, thanks heaps.
Emma Kerstin thanks for the lovely comment
Great video!
I'm looking to do voice acting. My voice is really good for cartoons and my friend from work has a permanent voice that sounds like snow white. Which companies can I contact directly without having to pay the $500 annual membership?
Tough one. I would do some research as it is different in every country. Unfortunately, most of them there is at least some small fee to join. If you are looking to really up your game you could try the agent route, that way they get you work and only take a percentage, rather than a fee.
#####*AWESOME! 🔥🏆🔥
When she said AKG she was talking about interfaces. ThecAKG C414 he mentions is a mic. I don't know that AKG makes interfaces.
can i use the earphones’ microphone to record my voice ?😬
Is the any online free voice over job? Please reply!
I have a "SAMSON GTRACK" usb mixer mic is that good enough?
I personally don't think usb mics are caught up yet technology wise for vo but usb vs xlr is a highly contested topic. Here's the thing tho: I'm always looking at pros' set ups and they never have a usb mic always xlr
quien de venezuela esta en esta pagina? como hacen
Great interview! I an thinking to be un a pay to play platform. What is the name of the girl and her position? I can't catch it
Im from Pakistan I'm interested in voice over I have been states n their I did 2 shows for pakstani cumminty on WNVC VA channel 56 I then came back to Pakistan here I work as RJ on fm channel 95 I want to work as Voice over artist so plz tell me what to do thanks
Is there any website where i could get a voice over job without paying premium membership ??
Unfortunately, most of the major ones do have a fee. You could look at directly reaching out to studios, firms and companies. That way you go direct to the source.
Hello
What do I do next after signing up.?
I can't seem to do anything
They have a wonderful support team so I would just reach out them directly. Cheers Andy
It cost $500 a year
What laptop would you recommend is best to help with audio editing/recording?
I personally use a MacBook Pro which is fantastic. Mac is generally better in my experience for editing, but you can get a more spec'd out computer in the PC world.
I sent my demo but no reply
As in you sent you demo to us? I'd love to see it if you can send through again.
You have to pay and it’s expensive
you have to pay to voice act?
@@sawnxoxo9744 Yes it costs $500 a year
It is, it is frustrating because I was supposed to apply a job then they asked me to pay for almost $500.
Just signed up free as guest, but when you look at a potential opportunity you have to upgrade - waste of time unless you want to spend $350 (150 discount at the moment!)
Too bad...
@@ZyctArtistry thank you so much 👏 for not letting us waste our time
It sounds easy but no no no!!! I went through the hassle and built my own studio which cost me over $400 and I paid the membership for voices which cost me $200 at the time. I was so excited at first, I thought it was going to rain a lot of money, but I was very wrong. After almost a year of submitting over 500 auditions, I only got $250 which means I got my money back plus a little extra money ($50). Now my membership is going to end soon and there's no way in hell I'm going to renew. My point is don't waste your money. It's hard to make money on that damn platform.
That is a really helpful perspective. We are not associated with voices.com just wanted to chat with them - but this insider experience is really helpful to our audience so thank you. Have you had more luck on any other platforms?
@@StageMilk No
how to become a voice actor if i have no clients ? :D can somebody tell me more ?
\
Start with a great demo. And then just start reaching out to agents, online platforms, studios and companies directly.
@@StageMilk i sent a many demos i think im not a good voice actor.
Jorie Riyego VLOGS maybe you should start with some coaching/training.
I'm looking to do vouce acting. My voice is really good for cartoons and my friend from work has a permanent voice that sounds like snow white. Which companies can I contact directly without having to pay the annual $500 membership?
I don't like that you have to put your name and can't hide it instead of a username. I have people that I REALLY don't want them to know my real name or that I do this!
Fair point, I would definitely raise this with them.
Thanks for the low down.. breathing:))
i just wanna kno how to do the actuall job
Dora The explorer we will have more videos on this soon!
StageMilk ...explaining how to actually complete a job? hopefully😅i really need some money right now
Why is the start up fee so high?
It is very high, and you have to really consider whether it will be worth it for you. We are not endorsing the program, we just know that it can be one way for VO artists to get work.
@@StageMilki like your honesty, i just want to know if the site takes a percentage from each job you get?
@@dorafoufa9887 I would check in with them directly but I believe it is just the membership fee to sign up.
@@StageMilk thanks
@@dorafoufa9887 Yes, voices acts like an agent. For example, if you get a job that pays $100, you'll get $80 and voices gets $20. They get 20% of every gig you land, that's their cut.
I Just Need A Calm, Beautiful Female Voice, For A Less Than 4:50 Minute Presentation! 🎯
can i do it for u
Is there’ such thing as a boring or bad voice
No. But it definitely is important to work on finding range and dynamic in your voice!
hi... am new on this voices.com and i rely need help but am currently broke n ready to change my life with voices.com...
Voices.com is great and they have really good customer service, so reach out to them directly and they will be able to help with any questions.
hope u have a spare $500
THERE'S A $500 BEGINNERS FEES !!!!!! WHY YOU DON'T MENTIONED IT . PLUS $2999 FOR A HIGHER MEMBERSHIP.
Yes it is an expensive program so you really have to consider whether you are ready for it. Not really for beginners
20:58 lol this part didn’t hold up well
Do you mind unpacking this a bit more?
@@StageMilk sure thing! From what I understand, Voices doesn’t have a bottom limit anymore so it could be a $5 job. Whereas in this section y’all discuss the pay being very good and on-par with the standard rates
@@Kevintendo ah I see. Well thank you for sharing. This is by no means a promotion for them and hopefully just gives a few insights.
Your sound is mesimris and attractive I am Shure you transfer Real information in the world 🌎 thanks for your Great minded men I am mekibibKerga from Ethiopia help me show me the right direction gaid me how to work seriously clearly I love you more over
Bruh it cost $500 a year
It is very expensive! So you have to work out whether you will get enough work to cover the cost
Thanks for not letting me waste my time
Bro whats ur fb let's search jobs together
🔴 Warning 🔴
Do not, I repeat, do not sign up on voices.
I auditioned literally 577 times and I haven't made a single dollar!
Do you pay $499 before?
@@butirandebu455 $200. They gave me a discount. I guess they were trying to scam me. And so far I auditioned 577 times. Still nothing
Allow me to update everyone! NOTHING IS FREE! Not even a so-called paying job like this one! It will be FREE to sign up and it will not allow you to audition for paying jobs UNTIL you UPGRADE and the upgrade fee is $499.
Yes this is a paid platform. Definitely have to pay to be a part of and only worth while if you can really commit to the program. For most actors I know it takes 3-6 months to build traction on the platform, but obviously works really well for a number of voice artists.
If you apply for most jobs or if you are auditioning for any acting jobs it is always free most of these sites are kind of scammy. A small few people will make money but most people will never be seen in the profile section
