Marc spent nearly a decade away from Voices.com. Then, in July, he decided to give the platform another shot.
Six weeks later, he had questions.
In this episode of the Everyday VOpreneur Podcast, Marc is joined by Gina Scarpa, one of the top-booking voice actors on Voices.com, for a deep dive into how the platform actually works and how voice actors can get more from it.
Originally recorded during Free Advice Friday, this conversation covers everything from profile optimization and search results to auditions, shortlists, algorithms, bookings, rates and more.
Gina explains why getting to a 100% VoiceMatch should be one of your first priorities, how clips impact your visibility in search, what actually happens when a client receives your audition, and why you shouldn’t be afraid to submit for opportunities that fit.
They also dig into some of the mistakes voice actors make on the platform, including poorly optimized clips, misunderstanding statistics, archiving completed auditions, and automatically rejecting jobs because of perpetuity language without asking questions first.
Plus, Marc shares what he’s learned during his first six weeks back on Voices.com, how the experience compares with Voice123, and why his opinion of the platform is beginning to change.
If you’re already using Voices.com, thinking about joining, or wondering why you’re paying for a membership but not seeing results, this episode will help you better understand the game you’re playing and how to play it smarter.
