Voices レビュー 

I am still working with John. It would be super helpful if you would include milestones for longer jobs since book narration can take weeks, sometimes months (as in the case with John, my talent). So, while I am thrilled with Voices as a hole, your system of paying needs tweaking.

I am very pleased with the program. I was able to complete a paid job with ease and receive the $. This was an improvement as I have been the victim of a scam before and got to record for 6 hours without pay...

Doesn't deserve even 1 one star!
As a professional ı guess ı will wait for eternity to be chosen for my voiceovers!I am done this site Voices.com isn’t trustable!Iwon't do any voiceovers at all !
GO TO PARADISE!

I’ve been a member for a few years and have had enjoyed the experience. User friendly and easy to navigate. Any troubles I’ve had have been minimal and with clients themselves, not a reflection of the portal. So, I’m happy!

After 1 year and approximately a dozen emails and phone calls to their Help Desk and various other points of contact I have never had a single response.
Prospective members should know that Voices does next to nothing for their 20%.
It should be noted that a year ago I made the same comment to which Voices replied that someone would be in touch. NEVER HAPPENED, NEVER WILL.

They are helpful, reachable, and resourceful. If you need help with something they are right there to help. There are videos, lots to read, and if you need a real person you can actually speak to someone!

Voices.com has been my go to "Pay To Play" casting site for almost 8 years. I get relatively good value for the money. It pays for itself every year. The only things that disappoint me are: They are, on larger projects (not going through their "Sure Pay" system), slow to pay, and, in general, that they take a 20% commission on top of an annual subscription. The flipside, however, I know for sure I WILL get paid. The process is streamlined, easy to navigate, and easy to track. I renew every year for a reason!

A power shift! Most of my VO work used to come through Voice123, which is now an overpriced, underperforming "Pay To Play" platform promoting primarily poor opportunities. Voices.com has picked up the baton and improved in every respect, offering a variety of work and providing me with the bulk of my VO work for the past year. Customer service is good too. Keep up the good work!

I've always had a positive experience with Voices. The platform can connect you with both high profile and repeat smaller clients and there are always plenty of auditions to complete.
The 20% fee taken is a fairly standard 'agency' fee and the fact that the client has to deposit funds before you start work is a secure way to work. I am happy to pay the fee, as you also benefit from being listed on a highly visible site and can therefore benefit from its SEO.
You must put the effort in to keep your profile up-to-date and audition regularly to really reap the rewards.
Overall, I would recommend it!

I have been working with voices.com since 2020 and I can say that it's the most serious and reliable platform for freelance voiceovers. I'm very grateful to them and look forward to continuing to work with voices.com.

Some great clients out there, and am lucky enough to have been connected to them through the site. It is wildly frustrating, however, the high percentage voices chooses to enforce. More than that, the number of jobs I respond to that never gets completed or even listened to is disappointing. I wish more clients had the opportunity to listen to the submissions before making their decision. Not sure how that would be enforced though. In the meantime, I'll keep auditioning!

My experience with Voices has been very positive. I'd recommend them to other voice actors. My only wish is that they would offer an alternative method of payment to Paypal who charge very high fees which hit Voice actors based outside the United States particularly hard. Using a payment service like Wise or Revolut would be a real game changer.

Absolute scam. After completing a contracted project with Voices.com, delivering 3 hours of scripted audio with professionalism and care. I double-checked every file, and even sent pre-recordings which were approved. Voices confirmed in writing that I was
"good to go" and that payment would be issued within 30-60 days.
After nearly 60 days of silence, they suddenly claimed my recordings did not
"meet requirements". They canceled the agreement without ever offering revisions or providing a single example of an issue. This is called "breach of contract" - anything goes with these scammers to avoid paying the agreed + $400. STAY AWAY! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I completed a contracted project with Voices.com, delivering 1.5 hours of scripted audio with meticulous care. I double-checked every file, and even sent pre-recordings which were approved. Voices confirmed in writing that I was “good to go” and that payment would be issued within 30–60 days.

After nearly 90 days of silence, they suddenly claimed my recordings did not “meet requirements” and "They've decided they are not looking to source any revisions at this time" and are choosing to move forward with other talents on this project. They canceled the agreement without ever offering revisions or providing a single example of an issue. This is a blatant breach of contract and an attempt to avoid paying the agreed $425.

I'm so critical of myself and my work with everything that I do altogether. I am 100% completely confident that the recordings I sent were acceptable. Shame on them.

Freelancers beware: Voices.com will take your work, drag out the timeline, and then dismiss it with vague excuses to escape payment. If you value your time, integrity, and income, I strongly advise avoiding this platform.

This company has demonstrated clear discriminatory practices, and I strongly recommend that anyone concerned about fairness and equality stay away from it. They have systematically removed all Palestinian voice-over artist profiles, effectively preventing them from working and benefiting from the platform—despite many of these professionals having years of experience, excellent feedback, and strong reputations. This is absolutely shameful and undeniably racist behavior. I am proud to have cut ties with this company as a voice-over artist, doing so with dignity and integrity.

**Response to company's reply:

I am incredibly surprised by your prompt reply, especially considering that I attempted to contact you multiple times via email and Instagram over the past two years—with no response.

The discrimination here clearly revolves around the "location" of the voice actors. The primary victims of this policy are individuals based in Gaza and other Palestinian cities.

I truly appreciate the link you provided, as it further proves my point. I encourage everyone to take a moment to examine that list and compare the location of each profile with their “last hired” status to better understand the issue at hand.

Let me highlight a few critical observations:

1) Some profiles may show recent hiring activity—but they are located in the United States or other regions outside of Palestine.

2) The visibility of a profile doesn’t necessarily indicate it is active—I have confirmation that at least two highly-rated profiles based in Gaza have been suspended and remain so to this day despite still appearing visible in the website.

3) At least three of the profiles listed are for English, French and Spanish speakers only, which raises questions about how they’re considered “active Palestinian profiles.”

4) A significant number of voice actors, including myself, closed our accounts in protest and solidarity with our Palestinian colleagues.

Their stated reason for these suspensions is due to U.S. and Canadian sanctions, a rationale that other U.S based well-known freelancing platforms have not enforced.

Shame... Big shame.

the percentage taken from the initial offer is huge but what can I do

Voices gives voice actors of every level an opportunity to find work. The audition process is easy to navigate. They regularly offer free workshops with helpful info to assist in landing jobs.
My specific experiences with my first two Voices jobs were both streamlined and smooth operations. I look forward to continuing the audition process and building my Voices resume.

The Client Project Manager and the Project Assistant made the experience of getting hired very smooth. Their communication was prompt and detailed. Also, the customer support team has been very responsive and thorough. I enjoy the free monthly group voice coaching sessions and find the voiceover tips shared via email very helpful.

The platform/process could use some streamlining. It gets confusing and difficult to track when certain things, like the agreement, have to be emailed, but other exchanges happen over the "Messages" section of the platform. Also, some jobs require us to "Reply to Job" via the platform, and others require us to do this AND fill out an additional survey. The annual pricing, in addition to the platform cut, is a bit steep.

The twenty-percent platform fee is a hard pill to swallow, for both talent and client. From a talent point-of-view it can result in a smaller payment. I'm sure many have had the experience where they bid on a project and got an offer only to have the client request a lesser bid so they don't go over budget. For example, I auditioned for a VO job that had a budget of $500.00. My bid was that exact amount. Then I get an offer from the client expressing their interest in working with me but can I change my bid to a lower one so as not to go over their budget? Now I have to change my bid to $400.00 or less lest they go with another talent. I have been fortunate in my years of being on the platform but I cannot rely solely on Voices.com as my main source of income. If they insist on a platform fee it would benefit all involved to lower the fee.

I rarely use this site but booked a job only to see how much the platform takes out as a commission. Other sites don't take away from the talent, or they build the fee into the client's payment. I was less than enthusiastic to take on a job that cost me so much in a fee and unfortunately the individual who hired me wasn't able to accoomodate.
