August 2019 – Voice Sample Upgrades - Voquent

Here at Voquent, we’re not just another casting platform, rinsing voices for the opportunity to audition for jobs.

We're superfans of voice acting, and we're passionate about reducing auditioning time for talent by making it easy for creatives to listen to and shortlist voices that match the voice in their head. 

I know what you're thinking; every casting site purports that same thing, but you'll find their search doesn't work as described. Most voice-over casting sites use an unmoderated tagging system. Users can label their audio as anything. Meaning results that are not as expected or, at worst, utterly useless. 

The lack of quality casting tools is why most customers resort to using job posting boards and why many voices now report auditioning for 75+ job posts to win ONE job! That's a helluva lot of unpaid work. 

Voquent already offers the world's most powerful voice-over talents search, but our mission is to keep improving and provide our partners with unparalleled casting tools.

With this in mind, and after extensive research, we've now added additional categories, including:

We've also added hundreds of characteristic keywords so voice actors can choose three keywords to describe each Demos performance, vocal texture, or feeling. 

The new features make casting for distinct and specific styles of voice-over, narration, or characters easier than ever. Because each Sample and Reel goes through a strict moderation process, creatives can rely on high-quality search results that sound like their descriptions. 

For busy creatives, this is a dream come true. They don't have to listen to loads of irrelevant showreels, and they don't have to post a job and plod through dozens of auditions. They can find the perfect professional voice-over by listening to approved pre-recorded Demo Samples—a win for everyone involved. 

If you haven't signed up for Voquent.com yet, now is a fantastic time to get started. More creatives flock to the platform each day, and it's entirely free for professional voice actors to join the party. Take a look at what other voices are saying about us on Google? 

Remember, if you've already uploaded a full suite of Samples, you can quickly delete and re-upload new Demos with characteristics and tags. 

You can also change the picture of each Demo to represent the character you are voicing. Elsie shows how it's done here:

Fill out your profile with 30 distinct Demo Samples in a range of styles and tones and you'll be 697% more visible than the average voice talent. So, what are you waiting for?
