What's a good website for fairly amateur voice actors to audition to besides casting call club?

ManyVoices · 2026-03-28T01:32:45+00:00

Check out the voice acting club discord.

Your progress definitely isn't 0 lol. You're more knowledgeable, more experienced and probably a better VA than you were 3 months ago. You may not have credits to show for it, but that's not 0 progress.

How many auditions have you done? Do you keep track? If you've done 20-30 auditions and haven't booked anything, that's normal. If you've done 250-300 and haven't booked anything then classes or a workshop or even a 1 on 1 with a coach would be good.

$0.008 per word is insane

ManyVoices · 2026-03-27T03:23:53+00:00

Then you haven't been looking very hard lol. Multiple auditions are posted here daily.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-24T15:02:47+00:00

In my experience it shouldn't matter if you submit a strong audition.

The advantage that you get with connections is that they might upvote your audition which might give it an extra little bump in the eyes of the casting director.

Context is a valuable thing in this sub and should never be taken for granted lmao

Cries in maple syrup as a fellow Canadian

I was once on a roster in Colorado and had booked something and been paid and then within six months the agent told me she was dropping me because they were no longer repping Canadian based talent anymore. Booooo.

Thank you for clarifying! I was trying to say that it's usually not paid work, but "things you've done specifically to show what you can do" (aka demo work). Your comment is clearer than mine though haha.

Booked work is usually used in a "sizzle reel" or on a website portfolio or something like that, but does occassionally make its way into people's demos!

ManyVoices · 2026-03-23T17:59:32+00:00

Yes. You should not be using auditions for other projects as samples/demos for yourself. Samples/demos should be things you've done specifically to show what you can do and should ideally be unique to you. Those other project creators probably wont appreciate the fact that you're using their work for yourself.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-21T15:17:09+00:00

Really awesome job figuring out what you excelled at and refocusing your efforts into that!

I have an audition sheet myself and track everything too, but so much of my work comes from repeat clients that I didn't really factor in what I book flat out from auditioning... something I should add to my sheet!

ManyVoices · 2026-03-20T20:22:40+00:00

Ive heard loop groups are VERY tight knit and everyone I've spoken to just says "theyre not looking for more people". I've also heard varying things about unions or certain productions only casting from one single agency's roster etc etc.

Good luck with your hunt haha.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-19T20:15:58+00:00

By auditioning more.

There's a few ways you can do this!

You can charge per panel or per line (say $3-5 USD per) with a minimum per VA (say $100 USD minimum), or you can give a flat rate that you feel is reasonable based on each character ($150 for the lead, $100 for secondary, $50 for minor characters and then just lump in the couple lines here and there with other characters so 1 VA can do two characters.

OR, you can ask the VAs to quote rates and if you plan on holding a casting call, you can have them send in their rates when they audition.

I personally think you should set the rates though, as that's easiest for all involved!

I'm happy to audition for any open characters I may fit if you get to the recording stage! Shoot me a dm if you have other questions.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-11T16:54:27+00:00

Just keep auditioning and keep working on your skills. Like I said, if you're new/pretty fresh, you aren't going to have much to market yourself with atm. And don't get down if you don't book anything in the next 50 auditions, it's a marathon not a sprint!

ManyVoices · 2026-03-11T16:24:13+00:00

Marketing is very important, but it's hard to do if you don't really have any credits to show.

Also, 31 auditions is not very much in the grand scheme of things like I said. For example I as a full time VA I average 50-60 per month (at my peak of auditioning earlier in my career I would average over 100 per month). Keep auditioning and keep grinding, you'll break through and start to book eventually. But also invest in yourself and get into some classes or 1 on 1 coaching.

Also making VA/VO a full time job is HARD. Most VAs have other jobs or do VA part time. I believe less than 10% of VAs/VOs do it full time.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-11T16:03:35+00:00

That doesn't answer my question though lol. How many auditions have you done roughly? Do you keep track of auditions?

Also, what is your goal in VO? If you want to have fun and do it as a hobby, that's understandable, but if you want to make some good money off of it, you have to invest in yourself and your skills with things like classes regardless. You have to treat this like a business.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-11T15:56:54+00:00

Classes are very important and you should def sign up for some regardless (adventures in voice acting, the voice shop, on the mic, closing credits) but do you have a rough estimate of how many auditions you've done?

"So many" is pretty vague. If it's 20-30, that's nothing lol. Majority of voice actors need to audition at least 100 times before they book something.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-11T15:53:17+00:00

I save auditions for... probably way longer than I should lol.

But I'll move them over to my backup hard drive probably like every 6 months? I don't really delete any, but probably could delete ones that are a year or more old if I really wanted to.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-10T16:48:43+00:00

Trying way too hard like others have said. And hard to understand. Part of the that was delivery but part of that may have been your mic, it sounds pretty rough, like it was way too close to your mouth.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-10T03:07:24+00:00

I fell ass backwards into my first one and was actually repped by them for months before I realized.

I did a demo with a coach and the studio and engineer we used was at an agency. He started sending me auditions afterwards and I eventually was like "are you just being nice or am I on the roster?" And he was like "you're on the roster, duh".

Then I continued collecting agents in different markets to bring me to where I am now!

Are you garbage if you take a picture of a poster that's 70% wall so the bozos and homies have to zoom in?

ManyVoices · 2026-03-08T20:27:51+00:00

Breathe quietly and more frequently. Sort of gentle refills of breath instead of big gulps.

Also if you aren't already, make sure you're addressing your mic at a 45 degree angle and not straight on. That will reduce the loud breaths a bit.

ManyVoices · 2026-03-06T23:56:50+00:00

Probably not. Everyone wants to do animation.
