I really appreciate the services of Voices.com, especially the help and direction they provide in responding to clients!
They charge you to simply apply for jobs. This website adds no value to anyone in this particular industry. At no point is this made clear in their ads or on their website that you must pay in order to apply for the jobs. Because this is a scam website, BEWARE: I assume they take the voice recordings that people provide then use the 'auditions' for profit based on their TOS.
As we a human being.I know that the voice is important to tell our felling with other. Animan don't have voice but they also comunicate
I joined this company after 45 years in the business in four different countries working for some of the biggest accounts in the world. I had retired, so I joined this part it with my money and all I do is get audition after audition for very low, pay and no results, I also don't know if they are using what I've done and just not paying me so I'm going to give them a bit more of a chance, but I'm going to insert a tone into all my recordings so that they cannot use what I've done, so far, my experience has not been very good There are other good sites out there where they actually check you out for the suitability for the VoiceOver job if that job actually exists in the first place so what I can tell you before you part with your money is Look Around and don't believe everything you read, including this review. In case I'm from another opposition VoiceOver company, but you can find me quite easily and I'm just a VoiceoverGuy like you in many thousands of others. This is what I wrote on Reddit, so you can see I'm trying to find out if they are responsive or is it all just run by computer that spits out jobs and all years AND takes out money
Tip for consumers:
I think anyone wanted to enter into the industry should be wary of companies like voices.com voice123 etc they ask a lot of money and give very little back

Hi Robert,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Even for those who have been in the voice over industry, it can take some time to be successful on Voices.
An essential part of being connected to the best job opportunities for your skills is filling out your profile completely and recording and uploading quality demos. Tagging your demos appropriately helps our matching system connect you with the right opportunities. Auditioning quickly, regularly, and for jobs you can do well is also important. Clients do not have any right to use your auditions for any purpose other than determining the best person to hire for their job. They must hire you, both of you accept a job agreement, and then the client accepts your final uploaded files. Those are the files the client can use.
We offer resources on the website and webinars to provide tips on auditioning and how to find success on Voices. Make sure to check out our Help and Resources pages for tips on creating quality demos, responding to jobs, and more. Our Support team is also always happy to help if you have questions (support@voices.com).
We encourage talent to diversify their income streams and offer Voices as one tool—there will be those who find it’s all they need and those who wish to use Voices in addition to other platforms or other opportunities they seek out on their own. Everything comes with a cost of money or time.
We’d love to speak to you one-on-one to see what we can do to improve your experience. If that is of interest to you, please reach out to talent@voices.com and Evan Wiebe would be pleased to chat with you and look at the types of jobs you’re seeing to ensure everything is operating as it should be.
We hope this helps! Wishing you all the best in your continuing voice over journey.

Hi Phil,
Thanks very much for taking the time to leave us this great review! We're so pleased to hear that your experience on Voices has been such a positive one and that you've felt supported by our team. We look forward to continuing to serve you and wish you all the best!
I've been a talent there for over a decade so I can give you the good, bad, and ugly.
Good: IF you get hired, it's usually easy money.
Bad: You're competing with newbies/those with zero experience willing to take any job at any cutthroat price.
Ugly: their annual fees are not worth it at all anymore. $500US PLUS a 20% fee on each job, yikes. Also, tons and tons of "this has a run time of about ten hours of voice work, and our budget is $250." Rather than set those clients straight, Voices' replies are "well, just don't bid or bid what you think it's worth". Waste of time. You won't earn a living with this site at all. As a pro, I get maybe 5 contracts a year. MAYBE.
Hi Tara,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your experience on Voices has not been as positive as time has gone on.
We do know that Voices is a competitive marketplace and we do our best to ensure that experienced talent are getting good job opportunities while also making sure that new talent to the platform get a chance to audition. This is a fine balance, and we are always working on it.
In terms of new talent undercutting experienced talent, this is not what our data shows. There’s an audition process that involves clients selecting the best talent for their job. While there are clients who have smaller budgets, most clients on Voices are looking for high-quality voice over and want to hire talent who can provide that. This is why we work to provide resources, seminars, etc., to new talent - so that they can improve their chances of booking work.
As a business, we do charge a membership fee to premium members, a 20% platform fee to talent (calculated against their client-facing quote) and a 4% or 6% processing fee to clients depending on the client’s payment method (calculated against their job’s total cost pre-tax).
Talent are able to adjust their quote when responding to jobs to see what their take-home earnings would be, and we show right there, based on the talent quote, the amount that the client will pay. We also show in this same spot what the platform fee would amount to, so that the talent has all the information.
Our goal is to provide the highest possible value to both our clients and our talent to make the fees worthwhile. That being said, we continue to look at pricing and the ways we can improve this element of the customer experience.
You’re correct that we do encourage talent to always quote what they feel is fair for the work involved or to pass on jobs that they’re not interested in auditioning for. We also provide a budget calculator and recommended pricing to all clients. Talent are always encouraged to report jobs they see that are not properly priced so we can look into it. Our Support Team can then reach out to the client to let them know what a recommended budget would be for that job and that the client will receive better responses with a more appropriate budget. If you see a job that is not priced appropriately, please report it to us.
We encourage talent to diversify their income streams and offer Voices as one tool—there will be those who find it’s all they need and those who wish to use Voices in addition to other platforms or other opportunities they seek out on their own. Everything comes with a cost of money or time. Our goal is to connect clients with the best talent, and talent with the best job opportunities. We do have many talent members making a very successful full-time living on Voices.
If you have any further feedback on your experience with Voices, we’d love to hear it at feedback@voices.com. This goes directly to our Product team.

A few points to clarify. Our free guest membership gives you the opportunity to build up your profile on our website, upload unlimited demos, and receive private invites to jobs.

The membership fee also ensures that the premium talent on Voices are at the professional level required to meet the needs of clients.

I joined the platform almost 5 years ago, and I have had the greatest professional experiences with them, their team and clients, since I became a voice over freelancer. I love they take care of every important matter regarding fulfilling projects, from quality instructions to ensure timely payments. Their standards are very high so I feel very committed and motivated to meet them every time. I think I have grown as a professional with them, my work is valued so, I feel lucky to be able to collaborate with them.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this great review! We love to hear from our wonderful talent, and we are very pleased that you've felt supported by Voices in your voice over journey, and that you feel your career has grown. We feel lucky to have talent like you on the platform, and we can't wait to see your continued success. Thank you again for writing and wishing you all the best!
I was a member around 2005-06 and recently revisited their fees and rates. Some platforms charge you a flat one-time annual fee. Others charge you a fee only when they get you a job. Voices dot com does both, plus they handle all invoicing and charge a processing fee to the clients. This stops you from building a personal, ongoing relationship with clients. I don't know of any other platforms that impose so many different fees on the talent budget. Talent already have a tough enough time making a living and this seems excessive, especially for those trying to start in the business.

Hi Garth,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re no longer a Voices member. We’ve continued to make major improvements to the platform since you were last part of Voices, and it might be difficult to fully experience those without a membership.
As a business, we do charge a 20% platform fee to talent (calculated against their client-facing quote) and a 4% or 6% processing fee to clients depending on the client’s payment method (calculated against their job’s total cost pre-tax). We recently increased the processing fee by 1% after many years without an increase.
We make the platform fee clear to talent when they are responding to jobs or selling their projects, and the processing fee clear to clients when they are hiring talent.
Talent are able to adjust their quote when responding to jobs to see what their take-home earnings would be, and we show right there, based on the talent quote, the amount that the client will pay. We also show in this same spot what the platform fee would amount to, so that the talent has all the information.
We encourage talent to always quote what they feel is fair for the work involved. Our goal is to provide the highest possible value to both our clients and our talent to make the fees worthwhile. That being said, we continue to look at pricing and the ways we can improve this element of the customer experience.
The Job Agreement reflects the total amount the client will pay, as well as details about the job, and this agreement is signed off on by both parties before the talent begins work. This is a contract and it protects both the client and the talent. We've also added a feature to the client My Home dashboard, which makes it simpler to re-hire the same talent again, and we're continuing to improve this functionality to further encourage the building of relationships between clients and talent.
Payments are held in SurePay until the talent completes the work, and then payment is released to the talent. Talent are pleased to have this taken care of for them, so they can focus on auditioning and booking jobs, and clients have ease of billing and payments.
We encourage talent to diversify their income streams and offer Voices as one tool—there will be those who find it’s all they need and those who wish to use Voices in addition to other platforms or other opportunities they seek out on their own. Everything comes with a cost of money or time.
Our goal is to connect clients with the best talent, and talent with the best job opportunities. Reviews and feedback from our customers tell us we’re doing this well.
Thanks again for reaching out and sharing your thoughts. We wish you all the best in your voice over career.
Auditioning for a VO part is the same as with any other acting role where you show up for the audition and you see 50 other people in the room with you going for the same part. The only difference with VO work is we don't get to see the other people, but they're there. Voices keeps sending the auditions your way. Lots of them. All day long. It's up to you to submit a great proposal and a killer demo.
Hi Jody,
Thanks so much for the 5-star review! The guidance you give here is spot on. Our goal is to provide as many quality opportunities as possible for talent to respond to, and we know that the talent on Voices is the best in the business and up to the challenge of submitting top-notch proposals and demos. Thanks so much for being a part of our talent community and for taking the time to write! We wish you all the very best.
A few things:
1.) Booking work on Voices.com can be quite challenging if you aren't among the top 100 talents or don't have rising star status, a new feature they introduced.
2.) Timing is critical when auditioning on Voices.com; if you don't submit your audition within the first 5 minutes of a job posting, it's unlikely you'll be considered. Once around 50 people have already auditioned, your chances diminish significantly.
3.) Voices.com has introduced a "Live Directed Session" feature, which they include in your quote, adding an extra cost to you. It's important to note that directed sessions are not a new concept in the industry; they have been standard practice for many years.
Here's my experience in more detail:
Over the course of four years on Voices, I've had some successes with job bookings and found transparency to be an issue initially. While the platform worked for a while, the dynamics changed, and now it seems like being in the top 100 is crucial for better opportunities. Most of the work leans towards corporate and explainer-type jobs, although there are occasional commercial opportunities too. However, a significant portion of the jobs, like in-perpetuity ads and eLearning narrations, offer relatively low pay.
Though I had a positive booking experience, I question the payment model, as there seems to be a 20% deduction for professional services without clarity on what those services entail. Voices' management can be elusive when asked about it. Additionally, the process can be frustrating, with roadblocks hindering progress just when momentum is building. This is likely driven by their desire to keep more money from talent.
Recently, budgets have shrunk, and commercial work has diminished or pays significantly lower with global usage buy-outs (See attached image). Many job invitations I receive now have meagre payments, making it challenging for experienced professionals. Unfortunately, Voices doesn't seem to prioritize higher-paying opportunities that would benefit talents and job managers. You are often limited within the confines or their corporate structure and have to play by their rules to achieve success. It would be beneficial if they stopped accepting jobs with small budgets, as this practice is negatively affecting the industry.
Regarding customer support, Voices' responses seem generic and don't provide actual solutions; it appears to be damage control for their declining online reputation.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We’re happy to hear that you have had many positive experiences on Voices, booked work, and felt that Voices was transparent and upfront, always ensuring payment.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience has not been as positive this last year, and we’ll pass your feedback along to our team. Voices certainly wants to attract a wide range of jobs with a wide range of budgets, including high-paying commercial opportunities, and we work hard to bring these types of opportunities to the platform.
Although we do allow for jobs with lower budgets to ensure that those Talent who wish to respond to smaller-budget jobs may do so, it’s definitely not our aim to make those the only kinds of jobs available. That would not serve our Talent well and would not serve us well as a business.
We are also working on updating our usage and licensing parameters to ensure that in-perpetuity is selected by clients only when it absolutely needs to be, as we know this has been an area of frustration for Talent.
We’d love to speak to you one-on-one to see what we can do to improve your experience. If that is of interest to you, please reach out to talent@voices.com and Evan Wiebe would be pleased to chat with you and look at the types of jobs you’re seeing to ensure everything is operating as it should be.
Thank you again for taking the time to write, and thank you for being such a valued member of Voices.
The site allows clients to bid down industry standard rates to pitiful amounts.
The site is also incredibly convoluted especially on the client side.
The customer service management is a joke.
Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have recently updated our Voice Over Rate Sheet which is backed by data on actual buying patterns and behaviors to inform clients on industry rates, which can be found here: https://www.voices.com/rates. In addition, we encourage talent to submit quotes that are reflective of the value of their services, even if it is in excess of a client's budget. It is then up to the client to make an informed hiring decision, balancing the quality of the performance against their budgetary requirements.
We're sorry to hear you found the site to be convoluted and we'd like to hear more about your experience. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at feedback@voices.com. We want to make sure your voice is heard as we continue to improve.
This site came recommended on someone's YouTube channel as a free site to make money from home so I had to check them out. Upon scrolling through their website, it screams SCAM on all levels whether you're either a client or a talent. (Trust me, in this day & age of doing so much online work, companies like these are easier to spot from a mile away.) They do offer "free" services, not unlike other sketchy online money-making websites, and their extortionate membership fees of $499 and $2,999 per year are immediate red flags.
You may claim I'm misjudging them but I don't want you to experience the unnecessary headaches of these online scams. When a business model is out there to help people, you can tell. When it is there to make money at all cost, you can also tell. Never mind whatever it is promising you, that is just the bait.
This website is being run by people who are in it to make money, period. From my years of working online, such people will take advantage of you whether you're a job seeker or job provider. Ethics are non-existent & you should only proceed to work with them if you do not mind getting ripped off.
Because of my experiences on several online platforms like voices.com, I am taking the time write this review because I am tired of dishonest people enriching themselves over job-seekers & the employers who are honestly trying to help them.
If you're looking for talent, post on a legitimate job-search website. If you're looking for work, do the same - post your services on freelance sites or find a legitimate agency to work with. Do the hard work yourself. Avoiding the hard work is what gives these "companies" the opportunity to take advantage of you. Stay away from sites that promise a bed of roses and throw out sketchy "clauses" or vague conditions instead of being upfront and transparent with you. You'll be better off.
Hi Millie,
Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this is your assessment of Voices after looking at our website.
We’d encourage you and anyone interested in other perspectives to check out the multiple 5-star reviews on this and other review sites from both clients and talent who have found success on Voices year after year and who speak to the way they’re supported in their endeavors by our staff, who genuinely care about the success of every person who uses our platform.

Once talent feel they’re ready to move to the next level, our premium membership provides daily job opportunities that match a talent’s profile and skill set, sent to them directly. Talent on our platform find a great deal of value in what we provide and find this to be a highly efficient way to book work.
We encourage talent to diversify their income streams and offer Voices as one tool—there will be those who find it’s all they need and those who wish to use Voices in addition to other platforms or other opportunities they seek out on their own.

Reviews and feedback from our customers tell us we’re doing this well.
We’re also always working to improve the experience of our members based on customer feedback, and talent memberships is an area of current focus.
We welcome you onto our platform to give it a real shot and find out more, and we wish you well in your endeavors whichever direction you choose!
I've been able to find really good talent in the platform. Most of them are expert in their craft and have all the experience and equipment.
The service team (project managers, finance, etc) is terrible. Extremely poor communication, lack of coordination, just completely lost. Never go through them. Every time I requested their support to manage a large project, they just delayed it, confused the artists with, overcharged for their "management fees". Also it seems there's a large turn around and absenteeism, as usually I was bounced from project manager to project manager which just delayed everything as I needed to re-explain everything again.
Tip for consumers:
Just deal with the voice artists directly
Hi Louise,
Thanks very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're happy to hear that you were able to find the talent you were looking for, but we're sorry to hear that the rest of your experience was not positive. We'd love to talk with you further to learn more about your experience and how we can improve. If you would be interested in sharing that feedback with us, please reach out to feedback@voices.com, and I will make the team aware. Thanks again and wishing you all the best.
I have auditioned several times using voices.com and just booked a talent with them on this latest project. It was a very straight forward process.
Hi Greg,
Thanks so much for this great review! We’re so glad you found the experience of using Voices straightforward and that you found what you needed for your project. Wishing you all the very best and thanks so much again for taking the time to write.
The layout of this website is easy to read and understand. Combine the layout with podcasts to help guide you through the process of recording and submitting auditions, then you've got a formula for success. Though there are no guarantees of success, having a quiet recording space, a good microphone, and acting skills-get coaching on this one... then you have set yourself up for success on this platform.
Hi Larry,
Thanks so much for this great review and for taking the time to share your experience. We're so pleased that you've been finding success on Voices and your advice to others here is spot on. Thanks again for writing and wishing you much continued success!
Cameron was incredibly helpful and supportive in giving invaluable advice, tips and insights to better my audition submissions in order for me to be as successful on Voices.com as possible! I was impressed that her really went thoroughly through my profile to find out what I needed to modify to ensure I had everything I needed to present my best package to a client. In spite the fact that the "welcome" interview should have happened much earlier on when I first signed up for the site, Cameron was aware of that and made up for it 100%!
Hi TM,
Thank you for leaving a review! We're happy to hear your Talent Success consultation provided you with invaluable advice, tips, and advice to help you be as successful as possible on our platform! Thanks again - we really appreciate it.
I am a voice over artist for 26 years now, but since I'm a Voices.com talent, my career experienced a tremendous impulse. Working for unthinkable projects for an incredible diverse markets, and being guided, protected, by a warm and close professional team is priceless. I've been here for 6 years, and hopefully will stay as long as I have a voice.
Thankfully

Hi Antonio,
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback and for taking the time to share it. We’re thrilled to hear about your success and we wish you the very best as you continue in your voice over career—26 years is incredible. We’re grateful to be a part of it. Thank you, Antonio!
I have been a member of Voices.com for many years. But voice over work has changed considerably over the last 10 years. There is more competition and different payment models, that means Voices.com can no longer justify their extortionate premium fee. I earnt more from another site in 2 years, than I did over 10 with voices.com and why I left. Good site, but you need to change your payment model in my view.
Tip for consumers:
Be vary of high premium fees.

His willingness to help is exactly what anyone needs when they're just beginning.

Hi Vaishnavi,
Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you had some trouble with your profile, and we highly recommend reaching out to our customer service team at support@voices.com or by calling 1-888-359-3472. They would be very happy to help you with any issues and assist in getting your demo uploaded to your profile. Our Help Center also has a wide variety of resources to answer any other questions you might have: https://www.voices.com/help/talent
We do have different membership levels geared towards voice actors at different stages in their careers. Premium is often a better fit for professional voice actors and the Guest membership is more suited for the aspiring voice actor just starting out. This does mean that sometimes a job that appears to be a good fit might be one you’re not able to reply to, and we understand that can be disappointing. We encourage you to get that assistance from customer service in order to fill in your profile completely and upload your demo. As a Guest member, this will allow you to put your best foot forward with clients who are searching profiles and can invite you to jobs privately.
We hope this helps you as you’re starting out! We wish you all the very best.
I spoke to Cameron at Voices.com regarding improvements to my profile, demos, auditions, etc. in order to achieve a greater success rate for work. Cameron had obviously carried out analysis of my auditions to do and was therefore able to provide feedback and tips for improvement. It was a really worthwhile session and I am looking forward to implementing some of his suggestions!
Hi Rachael,
Thank you for leaving us this review. We're so glad to hear you found your consultation to be very worthwhile and that you were provided with feedback and tips for improvement! Thanks again - we appreciate it!
Cameron Pocock went above and beyond in helping me to learn what is required for success in voiceovers. As a long time radio guy, I recognize his knowledge is upper-tier.
He answered every question I had and gave me some great tips. I feel confident that success will come and I commend voices.com for giving us the best opportunity to succeed.
Hi Fred,
Cameron will be delighted to hear this! Thank you for your review. We're thrilled to hear you had a positive experience with us and wish you all the best!
I have been working with Voices.com for a handful of years now and I love the platform. I am happy to say that Voices.com has gotten me an abundance of work that pays well. I would absolutely recommend that worthy voice talent should try Voices.com in order to enhance their voiceover success.
Hi Max,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We're very glad to hear that you've had such a positive experience on the Voices platform and we wish you much continued success!
My one-year membership has just run out and I have held off in commenting about my year long experience with Voices.com since it's been a mixed bag. My expectations when I took out a membership was to get feedback from my audio auditions resulting in some paying jobs. Despite submitting over 500 auditions none of these resulted in an acceptance. Not a single one! Every time I would carefully read the job parameters and rehearse the script, then submit with a short friendly intro saying'I am easy to work with and a consummate professional dedicated to bringing the highest level of quality to their project'.
When several months had gone by without any results I had 2,45-min conference calls with Cameron who offered constructive criticism. I reworked my profile, testimonials, experience listings, etc. at his suggestion. All without results. Subsequent emails to different representatives were usually answered in a timely fashion but significant difficulties were not resolved.
One of my biggest problems with this company is that they don't update the status of a job. I currently show 118 jobs to which I've applied dating back a full year to July 2019 and they still show as ‘undecided'. Voices.com says that some clients don't bother to update this and yet Voices must know if a job has been awarded since they act as an escrow entity, releasing funds to the V/O artist when a job is complete. This is a huge frustration and frankly seems suspect.
Another difficulty is one's inability to hear an awarded voice over. They say this is confidential and yet without being able to hear the difference in finished product anything I would submit is strictly conjectural. There is simply no standard or anything to compare yourself with from the actual jobs offered. It leaves one to suspect that the jobs were actually awarded. How would one know?
I know personally that my voice over abilities are marketable since I have worked in radio for the past 10 years and am frequently requested to provide the voice range for their numerous and varied advertising clients as well as PSAs for many non-profits.
So, if you want to use this company as a practice platform maybe it's worth $499 to you. But if you're expecting to get work from what might be several hundred auditions you apply for or to know the status of auditions you've submitted take heed and find another company.
Hi John,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We understand how frustrating it can be when a job status is not updated. As a marketplace, we can’t ensure that every job posted will be cast and completed by clients. Sometimes there are unforeseen changes on the clients’ end and they do not proceed with the hiring process. You can find more information about payment release here: https://www.voices.com/company/technology/surepay
While we are unable to release winning auditions due to confidentiality, our podcast Mission Audition is a helpful resource we feel fills that gap. Our hosts take listeners through a number of auditions for a job and provide actionable feedback. You can take a listen here: https://www.voices.com/podcasts/missionaudition/
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at any time. Thank you again for leaving this feedback and we wish you all the best.
