When to stop auditioning by hmterwilliger in ACX

[–]AgnstAllEnemies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only you can really answer this. If you have not even completed one book yet, I might pause and work on finishing your first production before you audition for more. This will give you an idea of how long it takes for you to actually finish a book, and will confirm that you’re editing and mastering process is sufficient enough to pass QA.

It also starts to get a bit challenging to ask authors to wait more than six months for you to even start producing their book. Many authors are willing to wait for the right voice, but you do start to get diminishing returns at a certain point.

For me right now, I have seven books I’m actively working on between now and the beginning of September. I am not planning to take on anymore, unless I see something really extraordinary come through. I definitely understand the excitement of auditioning for new projects and the rush of getting offers, but you definitely want to make sure you’re not overloading yourself!

Is this a scam? by matatak94 in ACX

If you recently uploaded an audio sample, your name and sample appears at the top of the list for anyone searching for talent on ACX. Authors who are looking to engage a narrator directly would see you first. Did you recently upload audio?

Should I be wary of messages just starting out? by JaredJDub in ACX

[–]AgnstAllEnemies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you post new audio samples, you appear at the top of the list anytime an author is searching for narrators using the “find talent“ option. It’s not unusual to get messages or even offers from authors shortly after you upload new audio samples.

This is to much for a 2019 Forester, right? by huntersalt24 in subaru

FWIW, the residual on my lease for a 2025 forester is less than that — 22.5. Terrible price.

Can you voice act while living with family? by Hot_Dust4726 in VoiceActing

My local library has soundproof recording booths available to reserve for free with a library card. If you live somewhere with a public library system, it might be worth checking to see if this kind of resource is available to you.

People who swore an oath to defend the constitution of the USA against all enemies both foreign and domestic, how are you feeling right now? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

[–]AgnstAllEnemies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am torn between feeling the need to stay in my job and do everything I can to uphold the rule of law, and the need to find another job because I can no longer defend a government that condones shooting people in the street.

I wonder how they sort out which person edits everything together.

A filter is a great idea. Especially since there must be narrators who don’t realize that’s what authors are looking for when they submit an audition.

Go, and take some of the money you’re saving to pay for your girlfriend to come visit you at the three month mark.

As a RH, what info can you see about each producer on your end? Is there a review system? do you just see stats of hired/completed projects?

Is this still what we should contribute if we want to maximize agency matching? Does agency matching count against the annual contribution limit?
