The world’s first online professional voice over talent agency has proven itself a success as bookings continue to increase week on week, this week announcing that over 3,000 jobs have been booked in the past fifteen months.
Voice over website The Voice Realm was launched in March 2012 amongst an online landscape of websites that allowed voice talent to bid against one another, resembling clearing houses as opposed to professional voice over agencies. The company is at the forefront of keeping industry standards high for online bookings.
The site has quickly established itself as the go to destination for advertising agencies and production companies around the world when looking to audition and hire voice over talent.
The success of the business is, in part, due to representation and listings being limited to voice over career professionals with experience. There is also a commitment to ensuring sound recording equipment and customer service is second to none. Other websites allow anyone with a credit card to join and audition alongside industry veterans.
One voice talent who has achieved enormous success and ongoing voice over work is Andy Barnett who has found new clients through the efforts of the sites agents. He recently booked six jobs within two weeks. “The great thing about The Voice Realm is they go beyond the traditional geographical boundaries of many agencies. They not only work with terrific clients in North America, but also all over the globe. In fact, one of my biggest e-learning clients so far is based in Saudi Arabia.”
The site benefits professional voice talent by keeping to certain standards. Mr. Barnett explains the appeal. “I appreciate the set rates. What we do as voice actors is a highly skilled professional service and unfortunately some of the other voice sites allow clients to post jobs at ridiculously low rates that does a disservice to voice over talent everywhere. I also enjoy the fact that voice talent is vetted. This allows the voice actors represented to know they are in the company of other professionals in the industry and not just competing with anyone who goes out and buys a cheap USB microphone at Best Buy.”
The Voice Realm has displayed exceptional customer service to both clients and voice over actors ensuring that both are equally represented. “The customer service and representation at the Voice Realm has been stellar. I even had a representative call me directly to tell me about a rush job from a client overseas. I’ve yet to have that kind of personal representation at any of the other major voice over websites.
