Great article, Well researched. I’m working on my own article (review) on the site and I dare say – you’re being a lot nicer here than I’m going to be.

While I haven’t read a lot of the posts here, I see words like “insult” , “ludicrous”, “d-bags like Torrenegra” , “bottom feeders” and the like, which pretty much sums up the feeling both I and the other professionals in the industry have about VB.

With your permission, may I post a link to the article here when I’m finished?

Thanks again for your thoughts….well done.

Kind regards,

Todd Schick

Boy, I wish I had stumbled on your blog months ago! Like many, I was taken in by the free service and being able to create my own profile with sound samples.

However, not only is the rate card insulting to most of us in the VO community, but, Voice Bunny expects you to hang out at your computer 24/7 until the bell rings and is the first one in with the demo that wins.

I also thought it was a bit odd that Voice Bunny, the other day, asked that all voice work be submitted in WAV format rather than MP3. (What’s THAT all about?)

It’s “bunny” mate on the Pay-to-Play side has also become very annoying by constantly bombarding me, V123, on an almost hourly basis with endless lists of some very lucrative projects that I missed because I cannot afford right now to pay the annual $300 subscription fee. (I hate to admit it, but, I have demo pages on both Voice Bunny and Voice123.)

I still think, for me at least, the best way to develop a VO business is one client-at-a-time, word-of-mouth, personal networking. Repeat customers are always the way to go.

Thanks again, Kyle, for going to bat for the troops!

If you’re good, and you have customers, and they bring you repeat business then there’s every chance you can make a living in VOs. Put your energy into maintaining those relationships, building word of mouth and getting better at what you do and the jobs will come.
