Voice123’s free booking feature: boost your voice acting jobs now!
Voice123’s free booking feature is a VO game-changer. And with your own personalized booking link, it’s the perfect way to boost your voice acting jobs today. It also has a secure payment system to help you avoid the challenges of receiving international payments. Most importantly, it’s because it’s free. Zero commission or fees are deducted, regardless of your membership – what you earn is yours to keep!
What is Voice123’s free booking feature?
For the last 20 years, Voice123 has been helping to create a connection between clients and voice actors.
When that connection is created, it’s also vital to establish a meaningful relationship. Subsequently, building on that relationship requires a specific space and channel. This creates a positive first interaction with a client in order to set the scene for recurring work.
In other words, what starts out as a few voice acting jobs becomes the foundation for recurring work and recurring clients.
However, that’s where the challenges begin.
While digital advancements have made it easier to work online, digital communication with clients and receiving international payments can still be a tough hurdle to overcome.
- Emails are common, but these threads can be long and hard to follow; especially when negotiating.
- Messages and their meanings can get lost in translation or timezones.
- Social media apps are not 100% reliable.
- Above all, when clients are in different locations, receiving international payments can be an absolute nightmare!
One of the most memorable parts of attending VO Atlanta 2022, was meeting voice actors face-to-face and listening to them recall highlights from their careers over the past years. All of the stories had 1 thing in common; 'I still work with that client that booked me.'
Rolf Veldman, CEO at Voice123
That's why our free booking feature is designed to help voice actors get hired and paid quicker and easier. And Voice123 does not deduct any fees or commission from your bookings. That means what you earn is yours to keep!
How does the booking feature work?
Clients on Voice123 can book you for voice acting jobs via these channels:
- Through your audition for their project
- From a conversation in the Voice123 message inbox
- Directly from your voice actor profile
- From your booking link – share your booking link here.
- Through the instant quote feature on the Voice123 search.
This booking quote from the search feature is determined by the sum of your voice over rates per script length (word count) and usage (expected audience size).

All bookings also have the same set of initial terms:
- A maximum of 12 months’ usage
- Up to 2 revisions
- Have an expected turnaround of 3 days
What does that mean for you?
Well, the Voice123 booking feature is built on a foundation that goes beyond getting hired or booked for one or two voice acting jobs. In fact, out of all the bookings completed in just the first quarter of 2022, 80% were by returning clients.
Consequently, bookings help you to build long-standing relationships with clients as it’s the ideal foundation for recurring work. In addition, if you have a Voice123 membership, your proposals count towards your ranking score if they are booked through our Bookings functionality or if they are liked by clients.
How Voice123's booking feature can boost your voice acting jobs
1. Avoid miscommunications. The message tab is directly in the booking, as a result, you can quickly converse with the client in the same thread that stays in your message inbox. Therefore, while the predetermined terms make it easier for you to be on the same page as your client; you can also use this space to discuss negotiations and additional terms/usage.
2. It’s easier for you to track your funds and payments directly on your dashboard under ‘Your earnings.’ You can also filter this according to date, and which payments came through the Secure payment system.
3. Save valuable time that you can rather invest in growing your business, instead of following up on payments, processes, clients, or hiring a third-party service.
4. Keep everything in one safe place. The messages, files, agreement/quote, negotiation, payment information – nothing slips through the cracks.
5. The Secure Payment system is free for voice actors – no fees are deducted from your earnings, and Voice123 manages the transaction so that you can focus on what you do best – being a VO pro!
6. Easily use the negotiation feature to negotiate additional fees for extra services or usage before accepting a booking.
