Hi guys. I'm at the Preferred level ($99) myself and I find that it works just fine for me. What the Premium level gets you though, is two other spots (five instead of just three) to display your demos (ie: more areas in their directory). So if you found that three sections (say, Radio Commercials, Narrations and Documentaries and Cartoon Voice Actors) wasn't enough for you - if you did more and had a demo you wanted to feature in that section, the Premium level would be good for you since you'd get two more spots.
I'm on the fence myself. Though I have to say that I've gotten two jobs just by being listed in those directories (people searching have found my demos) and NONE so far from auditioning.
From what I've heard, that's not unusual and I've only been with Voices.com about three months now.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something else that's available in the Premium level though ... besides more space to host your demos. If you don't have a website of your own, this can be very handy, but for various reasons, I actually have a dedicated server - so TONS of space. I don't need that from Voices.com.
I do far prefer it over there to Voice123 though. In fact, I've actually been the subject of one of Stephanie's blogs (which was very cool).
She found my LiveJournal account where I talked about LibriVox... It's a small world...
It's
here if you'd like to read it. If any of you can shed more light on the subject of the different memberships though, I'd love to hear more.
All the best,
