How work reaches you

No pitching. No invoicing. Just reads.

Clients come here to hire, so the site does the selling. Your job is the part you love: turning a script into a voice.

1

Get listed.

Send a demo. If it's a fit, you're invited onto the roster and set up a profile: photo, demos by category, your three words. You appear in client searches the moment there's a photo and a demo that plays.

2

Work finds you.

Casting notices land in your inbox and dashboard with an estimated rate on each; you record the brief and upload. Clients who already like your sound book you directly, and direct bookings arrive paid.

3

Get paid.

The client pays the site before you record. When they close the job you're paid to PayPal, usually within seven days, and the figure on the job is the figure you get. No invoices to chase, ever.

The travel kit

Three things, one bag.

This is the kit voice actors on our roster carry between cities. Nothing exotic, everything respected, all of it small. If you already own something a studio would recognise, keep it.

The microphone

Sennheiser MKH 416

The short shotgun you hear in studios everywhere. Directional, so a hotel room sounds like a booth; light, so it travels. Buy it once, use it for a decade.

The interface

Shure MVX2U

XLR in, USB-C out, phantom power built in, no brick. It plugs the 416 straight into a laptop and every operating system just sees it.

The stand

Ultimate Support mini tripod

A desk, a laptop, a mic: you need something small to hold it still. Nothing fancy, weighs nothing, folds flat.

Editing: Adobe Audition or Reaper. Either does everything a voice actor needs, from a clean single take to a multitrack mix, and both run on a laptop. Spend the money on the room and the mic first; the software is the cheap part.

On the road

Make a hotel room sound like a booth.

Hard walls and a big window are the enemy. Soft, heavy and close is the fix. Ten minutes of rearranging and a directional mic pointing away from the window gets you a read nobody will pick from a studio one. Tick what you'd do.

What gets booked

Clients here search. Be findable.

Nobody scrolls a roster of thousands. Clients type what they need and listen to the first few voices that fit. Three things decide whether one of them is you.

A real photo and a demo that plays

Clients here don't scroll a directory, they search, and a search result with a face and a play button is the one that gets clicked. You appear only once both are there.

Three honest words

Warm, dry, gravelly, bright. Clients search by the feel of a voice as much as by accent, so the words you pick are the words that find you.

A turnaround you can keep

Set the time you can really hit. Clients book on it and rate on it, and a kept promise is worth more than a fast one.

Want a coach in your corner?

Talent who train book more.

Our online course takes you from first read to a demo you're proud of, with real direction along the way. It's the same standard the clients on this site are used to hearing.

Questions voice actors ask

Before you send the demo.

How do I get voice acting jobs online?
Be somewhere clients are actually buying, with a listing they can hear. Here that means a photo, a demo that plays and honest words about your sound. Castings then come to you by email and dashboard, and clients who like a voice book it directly.
Do I need a studio to work as a voice actor online?
You need a quiet, treated space and a respected microphone, not a purpose-built room. A wardrobe, a duvet and a directional mic get a broadcast-clean read out of a hotel room. What you can't fake is noise, echo and a hobby mic, so spend there first.
How does payment work?
The client pays the site before you record, so you never chase an invoice. When the client closes the job you're paid to PayPal, usually within seven days, and the figure on the job is the figure you're paid.
Do I set my own rates?
Casting notices show an estimated rate before you audition, so you only read for work you want at a price you like; the final fee follows the script that's actually recorded. Direct bookings are priced from the site rate card, which keeps clients from haggling and keeps every voice on the same footing.
Can I work while travelling or from another country?
Yes. Voices on the roster record from more than eighty countries and clients care about the sound, not the postcode. Set your turnaround to a time you can keep from wherever you are, and keep an eye on your inbox across time zones.
What microphone do clients expect?
Something a studio would recognise: a Sennheiser MKH 416, a Neumann TLM 103, a Rode NT1, an Audio-Technica AT4040, a Shure SM7B. A USB toy mic is audible in the first second and clients here are used to studio sound.
How quickly do jobs need to be turned around?
Most bookings ask for a finished file within 24 to 48 hours and some castings are marked urgent for same-day delivery. You choose the turnaround on your profile and clients book on it, so promise what you can keep.
Is there a fee to be listed?
Most listings carry an annual fee; voices in some languages are listed free. Either way you see exactly what applies on the apply page before you commit anything, and the number on a job is the number paid to you.

Your next job is a casting away.
