How Voice Talents Find Work on Voice123!

There are many ways in which one can find work on Voice123.

First, there are your typical SmartCast-'Enabled' projects. You knew about these, didn't you? Did you know that you can find all SmartCast-Enabled projects on the Project Directory?

You can also be directly invited to SmartCast-Enabled projects by the voice seeker, even after they use SmartCast technology to receive auditions. Still, there are some ways you may not be so familiar with:

• SmartCast-Disabled Projects:
  Some voice seekers use the Voice123 system to directly invite voice over talents, only, using the search talent feature.


• Direct Invite & Private Messages & Google Search:
  Voice seekers sometimes skip the whole process of creating a project and just go straight for the talent they need! This is a benefit of belonging to Voice123, the most popular voice over casting website. If you offer something unique, make sure your profile shows it, as voice seekers commonly find talent through Voice123 on Google searches.


• Contracts/Long-lasting Business Relationships:
  Voice123 can honestly say this is where the 'real money' comes from. After working with clients met through Voice123, you will find some want to sign voice talents to contracts to keep doing business in the future. Most of our long-time voice over talents currently benefit from this! Voice123 talents have signed contract with such great companies as ESPN, Disney, History Channel, and even NASA!

Working with Voice123 provides you with incredible exposure, and work opportunities!

We certainly wish you the best of luck and thank you for being a part of Voice123!

Thank you always!

More Voice Jobs Than Ever Before on Voice123!

We are happy to announce that last month over 950 SmartCast projects were posted on Voice123, not including the hundreds of private projects and SmartCast-disabled projects for voice over talents! This is the second straight month in which a record was set! It is good to know that in a troubled economy, Voice123 is still growing as the best place to find voice over work, and voice over talent!

Finally, Voice123 is proud to say that ALL of the entries from the recent political impersonation contest on the Voice123 Forums, were listened to by thousands of voice seekers in Voice123. We have heard quite a positive reaction from them, and we enjoyed being able to showcase your abilities. Jonathan Grey won the full-year subscription for his impersonation of President-Elect Barack Obama.


We hope to do more contests like this through the Voice123 Forums. If you have any ideas regarding how the forums can be used to benefit all members of Voice123 through coaching, contests, or online marketing, please post them! We would love to know what you think!

Thank you so much for being a part of Voice123!

Updates from Voice123: Happy Halloween!

We hope all is going well! These are just some quick updates from Voice123:

Political Impersonation Contest - Voice seekers and premium subscribers are casting votes this week to give four lucky people a six-month subscription to Voice123, with two winning a possible year on Election Day! Cast your votes here!

Steven's Blog - Apparently, once a week is not enough for me, and I believe there is much to be discussed about Voice123 and the voice over industry. I started a blog of my own to talk about.

Product Development - Currently working on several new developments requested by talent-voice producers, and voice seekers. More info will be made available closer to release date!

Holiday Season approaching Fast - We are also not too far away from the holiday season. Talent-voice producers should be sure to set their profiles 'on vacation', so voice seekers will know who is not available.

Special Forum Category Being Added - There are many charities out there that we all have a special place for in our hearts, so such an addition would be beneficial to those in need.

In the past month, charities like Voice A Thon, or Simon Hill's forum post about a very special charity, Run for One Planet, have shown the world that there are many great individuals on Voice123 who simply care. If you have a special charity or a blog you would like featured there, please add it here! If for some reason, you cannot add it to the forum due to membership status, please send us the info through the customer service email, and we will do it for you.

Voice123 wishes you a safe and Happy Halloween!

Helping Children through 'Voice-a-Thon'

Helping the future of the voice over industry starts with our children. Today, we present to you a way you can help students in high-poverty areas with a donation, no matter how small, to the Voice-a-Thon.

The Voice-a-Thon is a joint-effort between Voice123 and DonorsChoose.org. Here is how it works:

1. Teachers ask for classroom project materials.
2. Voice123 selects voice and speech-related projects.
3. You choose a project to bring to life.
4. Students learn and thank you with letters and photos.

Click Here to See the Projects and Donate!

Today's public schools often lack the resources for students to receive a proper education. Voice-a-Thon makes it easy for you to make a 'difference', one classroom at a time. You can fund any project that moves you, whether it be microphones or iPods, second graders or sophomores, the Bronx or Nashville.

We hope you find time after auditioning on Voice123 to help our children in need. Of course, your donation is tax-deductible.

"I know of no safe repository of the ultimate power of society but people. And if we think them not enlightened enough, the remedy is not to take the power from them, but to inform them by education." Thomas Jefferson

You can also help by telling your friends about this effort, simply by forwarding this message.

Best regards,

Tania Zapata & Alexander Torrenegra
Founders of Voice123

PS: The Voice-a-Thon is only available to students located in the United States, currently. DonorsChoose.org is working on allowing students from all over the world to ask for your help.

Buying Voice Over Equipment Made Simple!

One of the many questions Voice123 hears from voice over talents is, 'Do you know what the best site is to find equipment for my studio, or how to find training materials?'

So we were happy to help, when a member of Torrenegra Internet Solutions, approached Voice123 for some ideas and opinions on what Voice123 users would like to see. We told Voice123 coaches about it. Now, we are happy to tell you about the release of a new voice over retail website: WhereIsTheMic.com!


Gisella Borja, co-founder, has expressed to Voice123 that if you are a coach looking to sell training materials, a voice over talent looking for studio equipment, shopping for pre-amps, or even looking for editing software, this is a great website for you. If you have something you wish to sell, she can arrange the inclusion of your products into the store. The store is already open, feel free to check it out at: http://www.WhereIsTheMic.com/

At Voice123, we just hope this site makes it easier to find materials for your voice over career.

Hope you like it!
