I am joining the group to learn about marketing techniques in the VO world. The basics never change but I am continually amazed at the way the vehicles and techniques are on hyper drive development. I think picking a niche to work within might be the best for starters. Whadda ya think?

Wanted to weigh in on the pay sites too! I have been a member of Voices.com since '06 and am very happy with their service. You have unlimited auditions, as you should!, and their surepay system deposits funds in your account within 3 days of the project completion.

I checked out Voices123 at the same time I began with Voices.com and was greatly disappointed which seems to be a recurring theme. VO Planet looks pretty good as well but I haven't done my research yet. Anyway have a happy Memorial Day weekend all and keep rockin!

Just another reason that I don't use Pay for Play sites like 123 and the others. Great story thanks for sharing

John, that's hilarious and SO typical of that company...

Is anyone one using VOPlanet.com????
Kevin Scollin May 21, 2009 at 11:50am

That's funny...I'm sure if it happened to me I wouldn't think so! My experience with Voice123 is equally as frustrating...the new "Smart Cast" system they use is annoying...it's supposed to generate audition leads for me based upon my profile...and I'm always getting leads for female voices...or foreign voices...which I don't do!
Another really frustrating feature for me...it penalizes you if you audition too much! How can you audition too much? Aren't we supposed to go on as many auditions as we can?

When I asked about this to customer service, they couldn't give me an answer...so I stopped auditioning for a while...and they sent me an email saying if I didn't audition soon I would be placed on Inactive!

Needless to say, I won't be re-upping my account this year!

John - That is unreal! Says a lot about how they do business, doesn't it?!
