"Hey Scott,

I use Guru.com at the freebie level. I've bid on projects but had no bites either. I've simply had better luck marketing my own talents. Still it's nice to get other leads from time to time. You never know when the right person or gig…"

I agree....Craig's List is a great way to meet some of the big time and small time producers who are marketing their work to become BIG Time Producers.

  • Tom,
    Yes we did...I got a call back for that project...for a different role...then didn't hear anything else about it...not sure where it went.

    Hope all is well?
  • Hi Tom,
    Welcome to VU. You're in good company here!

    I wish you the best of success in all your adventures! I'd love you to join my group Ask a Casting Director. There's a lot of useful info that might help you there.

    I'm a Casting Director and experienced actor (4 octave range) for Video Games and more. It's a unique genre, unlike any other that requires a lot of differentiation in voices because there are so many parts with so few lines each. It requires a huge vocal repertoire. If you feel you're experienced as a voice actor with a lot of diverse and useable characters, and you can hit the ground running, you can go to my Talent Assessment page. Classes and coaching links are also there, if you'd like more instant help to get where you need to be to land those jobs.

    Stay Super!

    I've cast hundreds of computer games and directed thousands of actors. Voice acting is much more demanding than voice overs. Happy to help anyone i…
  • I doubt, if VOPlanet is a viable alternative to voice123 or Voices.com. They have very few voices; even fewer languages. If there's anything they have in abundance, it's their subscription charges!

    but if you've had a good professional experience, do enlighten me. I'll stand corrected.

    Do check out my voice database at www.voicesutra.com.

    Regards.

    Harish.
