Hi Frank,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration and experience trying to reach our Help Desk. We completely understand how disappointing it must feel not to receive the support you were expecting.
After reviewing your history with us, we found that you’ve submitted seven support cases since 2024. Four of those were duplicates of the same inquiry, and the remaining three were handled by our team. In two cases, we were waiting for your response after following up, and in one instance, we understand there was some frustration around jobs closing early.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback, it helps us identify where we can improve. If you’re still having trouble or need help with an open issue, please reach out directly to our support team at support@voices.com.
We’ll make sure you’re assisted promptly.

Value For The Money
Voices.com has been my go to "Pay To Play" casting site for almost 8 years. I get relatively good value for the money. It pays for itself every year. The only things that disappoint me are: They are, on larger projects (not going through their "Sure Pay" system), slow to pay, and, in general, that they take a 20% commission on top of an annual subscription. The flipside, however, I know for sure I WILL get paid. The process is streamlined, easy to navigate, and easy to track. I renew every year for a reason!

I've always had a positive experience with Voices. The platform can connect you with both high profile and repeat smaller clients and there are always plenty of auditions to complete.
The 20% fee taken is a fairly standard 'agency' fee and the fact that the client has to deposit funds before you start work is a secure way to work. I am happy to pay the fee, as you also benefit from being listed on a highly visible site and can therefore benefit from its SEO.
You must put the effort in to keep your profile up-to-date and audition regularly to really reap the rewards.
Overall, I would recommend it!

Some great clients out there, and am lucky enough to have been connected to them through the site. It is wildly frustrating, however, the high percentage voices chooses to enforce. More than that, the number of jobs I respond to that never gets completed or even listened to is disappointing.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for sharing your experiences—both the positives and the frustrations. It’s wonderful that you’ve been able to connect with great clients on Voices, and we appreciate your commitment to auditioning and pursuing new opportunities.
We understand your concerns about the 20% platform fee, which is calculated on the talent’s quote to support the technology, security, and tools that make these connections possible. Regarding auditions that are never completed or listened to, we’re always working to educate clients about the importance of reviewing submissions and to match jobs with talent effectively, but ultimately the decision to review or hire is in the client’s hands.
Thank you for sticking with it and continuing to share your talents on the platform. Your feedback helps guide our improvements. Wishing you success in your future auditions!

My experience with Voices has been very positive. I'd recommend them to other voice actors. My only wish is that they would offer an alternative method of payment to Paypal who charge very high fees which hit Voice actors based outside the United States particularly hard.

We understand your feedback regarding PayPal fees, especially for voice actors based outside the United States. Currently, payments are processed exclusively through PayPal for talent, which can result in additional fees and conversion costs. Suggestions for alternatives like Wise or Revolut are very much appreciated, and feedback like yours is being shared with our payments team as we evaluate future solutions.
We appreciate your input and thank you for being part of the Voices community. Wishing you continued success on the platform!
Absolute scam - stay AWAY!
Absolute scam. After completing a contracted project with Voices.com, delivering 3 hours of scripted audio with professionalism and care. I double-checked every file, and even sent pre-recordings which were approved. Voices confirmed in writing that I was
"good to go" and that payment would be issued within 30-60 days.
After nearly 60 days of silence, they suddenly claimed my recordings did not
"meet requirements". They canceled the agreement without ever offering revisions or providing a single example of an issue. This is called "breach of contract" - anything goes with these scammers to avoid paying the agreed + $400. STAY AWAY! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

They Take Your Work, Then Make Excuses Not to Pay
I completed a contracted project with Voices.com, delivering 1.5 hours of scripted audio with meticulous care. I double-checked every file, and even sent pre-recordings which were approved. Voices confirmed in writing that I was “good to go” and that payment would be issued within 30–60 days.
After nearly 90 days of silence, they suddenly claimed my recordings did not “meet requirements” and "They've decided they are not looking to source any revisions at this time" and are choosing to move forward with other talents on this project. They canceled the agreement without ever offering revisions or providing a single example of an issue. This is a blatant breach of contract and an attempt to avoid paying the agreed $425.
I'm so critical of myself and my work with everything that I do altogether. I am 100% completely confident that the recordings I sent were acceptable. Shame on them.
Freelancers beware: Voices.com will take your work, drag out the timeline, and then dismiss it with vague excuses to escape payment. If you value your time, integrity, and income, I strongly advise avoiding this platform.

A Stand Against Racism in the Voice-Over Industry
This company has demonstrated clear discriminatory practices, and I strongly recommend that anyone concerned about fairness and equality stay away from it. They have systematically removed all Palestinian voice-over artist profiles, effectively preventing them from working and benefiting from the platform—despite many of these professionals having years of experience, excellent feedback, and strong reputations. This is absolutely shameful and undeniably racist behavior. I am proud to have cut ties with this company as a voice-over artist, doing so with dignity and integrity.
**Response to company's reply:
I am incredibly surprised by your prompt reply, especially considering that I attempted to contact you multiple times via email and Instagram over the past two years—with no response.
The discrimination here clearly revolves around the "location" of the voice actors. The primary victims of this policy are individuals based in Gaza and other Palestinian cities.
I truly appreciate the link you provided, as it further proves my point. I encourage everyone to take a moment to examine that list and compare the location of each profile with their “last hired” status to better understand the issue at hand.
Let me highlight a few critical observations:
1) Some profiles may show recent hiring activity—but they are located in the United States or other regions outside of Palestine.
2) The visibility of a profile doesn’t necessarily indicate it is active—I have confirmation that at least two highly-rated profiles based in Gaza have been suspended and remain so to this day despite still appearing visible in the website.
3) At least three of the profiles listed are for English, French and Spanish speakers only, which raises questions about how they’re considered “active Palestinian profiles.”
4) A significant number of voice actors, including myself, closed our accounts in protest and solidarity with our Palestinian colleagues.
Their stated reason for these suspensions is due to U.S. and Canadian sanctions, a rationale that other U.S based well-known freelancing platforms have not enforced.
Shame... Big shame.

Hey Sara,
This extremely serious accusation is unfounded and untrue. We have not "systematically removed all Palestinian voice-over artist profiles".
Currently, we have over 10 5-star Palestinian voice-over artists who are incredibly talented, booking hundreds of voice-over jobs and being hired for jobs as recently as 4 weeks ago.
There are 27 active Palestinian voice actors on Voices.com and many more who have accounts on our platform.
This live link actually shows all active Palestinian voice actors on our platform: https://www.voices.com/talents/search?keywords=palestinian
Please remove this unfounded and disparaging review of our company.
Just biding my time to the expiration…
Just biding my time to the expiration date of my subscription. I am not gonna run down the company because deep down, I like a few things about the platform as well as some bad. But my main issue right now is trust. I am still reading the reviews since I last posted and there is some doubt. Suspicion is another. There was an invite from a big ministry to do voiceover for his podcast. He had no such podcast of him with that name and I am familiar with his ministry. I submitted my script and moved on, but searched again for his podcast with that name. I also wondered why a global ministry of that size need to go elsewhere for a voiceover. My trust issue shot through the roof. But there are some good things I like about VDC. I will not cancel my subscription this time around due to lots of valuable info on the site and good practice and quality scripts. Finally, I am curious to know how do 16 responses get in in such short a time? I received a notice and saw 16 responses. Did I get the job post 30 minutes late? . PS. AVOID PRIVATE INVITES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE SITE. They are mostly fraud clients and VDC is "still working hard" to clean it up although I am still getting them. I RARELY respond to any.
Re the reply:
See, that's just it. I am constantly having to decipher what is real and what is fraud but keep getting the "talking point" response of "we are working to..." responses. It is to a point that I don't trust any jobs that are posted most of the time.i should be paid for finding all these fraud jobs and seem to spot more than VDC does. How many have I reported this year alone while thinking some is too obvious?

Hey Alonzo,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback and concerns. It's understandable that trust is a key factor in your experience on the platform.
Regarding the invite you mentioned from the ministry, Voices.com works diligently to vet clients, but sometimes suspicious or fraudulent job posts do slip through, and we encourage talent to report any such cases so our team can investigate and take swift action.
Protecting our talent community is a top priority, and we are continuously improving our fraud detection measures.
As for the 16 responses arriving quickly, when you upgrade your membership or activate notifications, the system may show accumulated job opportunities since your last login or alert, which can appear as a sudden batch of new invites. This helps ensure talent don’t miss out on potential jobs, even if they logged in a bit later than the posting.
We appreciate that you value parts of the platform such as the quality scripts and useful information. We also take your advice about being cautious with private invites seriously and are actively working to reduce fraudulent clients.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for being part of Voices. If you ever want to discuss your experience or have questions, our support team is here to help.
Wishing you continued success!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
We understand that the platform fee can feel significant, and we want to be transparent about how it works. Voices charges a 20% platform fee on the talent’s client-facing quote, along with a 3% processing fee charged to clients. These fees help us maintain a secure, reliable platform, attract high-quality clients, and provide support and resources to help talent succeed.
We encourage talent to set their quotes based on the value they bring to a project, as many clients are willing to pay above their initial budgets for the right talent. Our goal is to create opportunities that enable you to grow your voice over career while providing a safe and supportive environment.
We appreciate your feedback and are continuously looking for ways to improve the experience and value for our community. Thank you for being part of Voices, and we wish you much success in your voiceover journey.

So awesome to hear.
People experience is 5 star. Process/platform could use some refinements.
The Client Project Manager and the Project Assistant made the experience of getting hired very smooth. Their communication was prompt and detailed. Also, the customer support team has been very responsive and thorough. I enjoy the free monthly group voice coaching sessions and find the voiceover tips shared via email very helpful.
The platform/process could use some streamlining. It gets confusing and difficult to track when certain things, like the agreement, have to be emailed, but other exchanges happen over the "Messages" section of the platform. Also, some jobs require us to "Reply to Job" via the platform, and others require us to do this AND fill out an additional survey. The annual pricing, in addition to the platform cut, is a bit steep.

The twenty-percent platform fee is a…
The twenty-percent platform fee is a hard pill to swallow, for both talent and client. From a talent point-of-view it can result in a smaller payment. I'm sure many have had the experience where they bid on a project and got an offer only to have the client request a lesser bid so they don't go over budget. For example, I auditioned for a VO job that had a budget of $500.00. My bid was that exact amount. Then I get an offer from the client expressing their interest in working with me but can I change my bid to a lower one so as not to go over their budget? Now I have to change my bid to $400.00 or less lest they go with another talent. I have been fortunate in my years of being on the platform but I cannot rely solely on Voices.com as my main source of income. If they insist on a platform fee it would benefit all involved to lower the fee.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback about the platform fee — it’s an important topic and we appreciate hearing your perspective.
We understand that the 20% platform fee can feel challenging from a talent standpoint, especially when it impacts your final payment. Our fee structure is designed to align with common practices across many online marketplaces and supports the ongoing investment in the platform, client attraction, and talent tools that help generate job opportunities.
Regarding client budgets, we know that some clients have strict limits. We encourage talents to always quote what they feel is fair for their work and value. Our data shows that clients often increase budgets for the right talent, and by quoting thoughtfully—even above the posted budget midpoint—talents can improve their chances of securing jobs that reflect their worth.
We continually listen to talent feedback on fees and pricing, and it remains an area of focus for us to balance value for both clients and talent.
Thank you again for being part of the Voices community and sharing your insights. We wish you ongoing success in your voice over career.
Pay to Play at the Cost of the Talent
I rarely use this site but booked a job only to see how much the platform takes out as a commission. Other sites don't take away from the talent, or they build the fee into the client's payment. I was less than enthusiastic to take on a job that cost me so much in a fee and unfortunately the individual who hired me wasn't able to accoomodate.

Hey there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that platform fees are an important concern for our talent community and appreciate the opportunity to clarify how our fee structure works.
At Voices, we charge a 20% platform fee to talent, calculated against the client-facing quote, and a processing fee (3-5%) charged to clients based on their payment method. This structure aligns with many other online talent marketplaces and is designed to support the ongoing development of the platform, attract more clients, and provide valuable tools and resources to help talent succeed.
We recognize that paying fees on top of membership costs can feel challenging, and we encourage talent to consider quoting rates that reflect both their value and the fees, as our data shows clients often exceed their original budgets for quality talent.
We’re sorry to hear your experience with the client was less than ideal, and we hope you find future opportunities that are a great fit for your talents and expectations.
Wishing you all the best in your voice over career.

In my opinion, Voices is a great way to get your feet wet in the Voice Over industry, if you can get listened to. However, it is infuriating in many ways. After upgrading to the premium membership, I started receiving a lot of jobs, and auditioning constantly, only to find that those jobs were either abandoned, or completed without being listened to, which makes me feel that my money was very much wasted. I wont say this is the platforms fault, but it seems they don't hold their clients to a standard for listening to their proposals received, and I can truly watch my auditions get tossed into the void without getting a chance. Very disheartening and disappointing.

I completely understand how frustrating it can feel when auditions aren’t listened to. It’s important to know that clients can stop reviewing submissions at any point. For instance, if they find the perfect voice early on, they may not continue listening to additional auditions.
However, auditions that haven’t been listened to yet may still get reviewed. Sometimes, clients leave jobs unreviewed for a few weeks—or even months—before returning to move forward with their project. If a job is still in “Deciding” status, it means the client hasn’t made a final decision yet and may still plan to review submissions. To avoid missing out on opportunities, we recommend keeping jobs in “Deciding” for a couple of months before archiving them.
To make the best use of your time, we suggest focusing on the jobs you’re most excited about first. You can also use the Sort feature to prioritize jobs with the “least number of responses,” which can help increase the chances of your audition being heard.
