The Online Recording Tool Will Be Removed On May 16th, 2006
Looking to increase the success of our talents and improve the experience of our talent seekers, we are working on some changes related to the way you create and upload audition voice over demos through Voice123. This is why we would like to inform you about the following:
1. The removal of the online recording tool on May 16th, 2006.
2. Other recording tool alternatives.
3. Consequences of these changes.
The online recording tool will be discontinued on May 16th, 2006
Auditioning to voice over jobs is a job in itself. Many factors are taken into consideration by talent seekers to select the voices they need. The better the demos you send with your answers, the more professional your auditions will be and the easier talent seekers will find a voice.
When you record a custom voice over demo that you send as an answer to a lead, we run a process that converts this audio file to an audio quality that speeds up the retrieval and downloading process. This conversion process will soon be improved to convert audio files to 64 kbps, which is suitable for online casting purposes, instead of the current 32 Kbps. An improved audio quality of 64 Kbps will help you demonstrate all your experience and quality as a voice over talent, allowing talent seekers to learn more about your voice over potential.
Voice123 offers an online recording tool that allows you to record custom voice over demos directly from your computer. This tool records at a bit rate of 32 Kpbs. When the audio quality of answer demos gets improved, online recording tool users will be at a disadvantage compared to those who use a different recording program or studio.
As a consequence, the online recording tool you find when answering leads will be removed from the site. The main reason being to create a level playing field for talents when doing their auditions. When a lead requests a generic demo, you can still send one of your uploaded profile demos. Remember that, for Premium Members, we have increased the number of demos you can upload to your profile from three to ten demos. But to answer a lead that requires a custom demo, you will need to create the demo using a recording program on your computer or your recording studio.
Recording tool alternatives
There are many different tools that allow you to make professional voice recordings. Many of these programs are advanced recording software that can be downloaded for free or purchased online for your computer. These programs offer professional audio recording and sound editing features. Among this software you will find Audacity, GarageBand, Sound Studio, Audio Recorder, Wiretap Pro, QuickTime Pro, Pro Tools, and Adobe Audition.
If you want to learn more about these programs and where to download them, please read Sound Recording Software for PC and Mac.
Consequences of these changes
Removing Voice123's online recording tool from the site is something we believe will bring benefits for both voice talents and talent seekers.
Using audio recording programs will help voice talents better showcase their voice over abilities and recording capabilities. This will improve the professionalism of auditions sent by voice talents.
On the other hand, talent seekers will see an improved experience when auditioning voice talents. They will hear better demos, allowing them to make a more accurate selection of the voices for their projects.
In summary, the removing of the online recording tool aims to help both voice talents and talent seekers. This is a change that is based on feedback we received from our members, that has been carefully analyzed and is under development at this time. The improvement of the audio quality is a benefit that outweighs the removal of the online recording tool. With other audio recording tools you can record higher quality demos, allowing you to send better auditions.

How To Find The Best Voice Talents
Voice123 has become the primary online source of voice over talents for thousands of talent seekers worldwide. The speed and easiness to find professional voice talents are valuable elements that talent seekers want to have and that we provide as our main goal.
There are some key tips that you, as a talent seeker, can keep in mind when posting projects and finding voice talents. As you see on our site, we have two forms you can use to post a job: Basic and Advanced. It is very important to have your posting sent as complete as possible, with the necessary data to help you find the suitable talents effectively. When postings are clear and complete, they are broadcasted faster and talents can reply with what you are really requesting. The Advanced Form is a very easy way to make sure your posting is quickly processed and includes the required information, improving your effectiveness when searching for a voice.
Finding the best voice talent for your project using public postings allows you to filter the talents that will fit your project requirements. A public posting behaves like an open casting call, different to a private posting. A private posting is better when you already know exactly what talents you are considering as candidates to work on your project. So, depending on what your needs are, public postings may bring you better results.
Another important issue is the budget you have assigned to have your project. You might not have set an exact amount for the budget you will invest in the project, however, defining a budget range is a solution that will make things easier for you and for voice talents. Setting a budget range is a way to determine the type of voice over talent you are looking for in terms of professionalism and experience.
When requesting custom voice over demos, keep in mind that the minimum budget required to request custom demos on public postings is US$100. This is to make sure you will receive answers from talents that are really suited for your project.
Following these tips can make your experience with us even better, allowing you to find excellent voice talents meeting all your requirements. Remember, this service is free, so you can take the maximum advantage of the service we offer you to get your voice over projects successfully done. If you want to post a job at this time, please visit our Post a Job page.
