Unfotunately, for those of us who would be happy with a $500 booking, the same booking is of no interest at $250. It is a rarity to find any of these auditions where the pay rate actually seems to equate with the higher end of the payment spectrum. Therefore, if Voices.com presents an audition that says $250 - $500, many will not audition for it. While I think the folks at Voices.com are extemely nice, courteous and caring, I feel it is a device to have people believe that the posted auditions are better than the competition's.

I also generally avoid auditions postings at V123 that do not have a defined amount or range. Being known as the cheap voice actor that's adequate or being placed in any type of bidding zoo is nothing I am interested in.

As an early adopter of both sites, I find the Voices.com approach has worked itself much more in the direection of a voiceover school and one that caters to individuals newly discovering voiceover. Indeed there are exceptions, but this is a fundamental difference I see that clearly defies them vs. the other site.
