At the end of 2002, we came up with the concept of Voice123 – an online marketplace and community where voice seekers like you could find the best voice talent for any type of voice over project. It’s been a success! So far, Voice123 has processed more than 1,000,000 auditions and proposals.
But now, four years later, it’s time for a change…a big change. You may have seen that we commonly release relatively small, but frequent updates to our services. This time, however, we are packing many new features into one major release. We call it Voice123 Version 2.0, and it’s the result of more than one year of hard work in creating and improving many areas of our service; thanks to the feedback we have received from users like you.
Some of the new features you’ll soon experience are:
- The best ever, fully flexible, online casting tool…completely free!!! Through it, you’ll be able to cast talents and voice producers, whether they’re registered on Voice123 or not. When you create a project, you’ll be able to:
- Ask Voice123 to recommend voices for your project, or
- Manually chose which Voice123 voices can participate in your project, or
- Limit the audition to voices you already know, even if they’re not part of Voice123. That’s right! You will be able to use Voice123 as your own online casting tool! This will allow you to quickly and professionally manage all your voice casting needs in just one place - for free. The New Voice123 will be able to fulfill all of your voice casting needs - free of charge.
- When you ask Voice123 to help you select the best voices for your project, you’ll come across Voice123 SmartCast. A new patent-pending technology that automatically sorts through thousands of voice talents and producers to invite the professionals who are most likely to be the best ones for the job!
- Experience a new project creation and management system that gives you more control over your project, auditions and proposals you receive. Among other features, you’ll be able to determine the maximum amount of auditions or proposals you get for your project.
- Take advantage of a new messaging system that allows you to send private messages to any talent or producer and keep track of their answers using your own email. All this without ever publishing your real email address, unless you chose to share it.
- Enjoy an enhanced Similar Talents and Voice Producers feature so that you can find talents and voice producers that are similar to other talents and voice producers you like.
- And much more!
You won't have to wait too long to get the best out of the new Voice123. In a few weeks you’ll receive an invitation to attend a free webinar in which we’ll show all of the new features. A good place to ask questions is The Voice Over Savvy Forum (http://voiceoversavvy.com).
Also, look out for messages letting you know when the New Voice123 will be released. Stay tuned!
