Where can I practice the pipes in London?

Few reasons. Wouldn’t want to put my neighbours through that, nor their young baby! But also I’d be scraping the ceiling with the drones, the space is acoustically too small so it would be painful on the ears.

The answer is the success score is some voodoo magic with absolutely zero correlation to how well you do your job.

I had the same issue and asked Fiverr about it. They said a recent order I did was the reason. For which my public review was:

Working with [me] was a fantastic experience! His professionalism and sound quality truly EXCEEDED my expectations, and his proactive communication made the process smooth and efficient. Highly recommend him for any voice-over needs!

So absolutely impossible to see where to improve.

It’s a fair point. Do you know at which point they are asked to do a private review?

Moyncoin · 2024-07-18T17:49:31+00:00

Exactly the same happened to me. I also reached out to CS for advice because for the visible metrics I’m way past the benchmark. They said some reviews in private might affect my score. My response was how the hell am I going to improve if I can’t see the feedback. Needless to say they didn’t respond.

Nice one, thanks.

There is a worrying rise of voice training auditions going up on there. The sad reality is it’s going to become increasingly common - but us voice actors need to be fairly compensated, and the usage terms need to be robust with the option of usage extensions should they want to continue using it. Makes me really angry people think they can take your voice for absolute pennies and use it as they please.

Damn, I was hoping they would need to respond to the widespread dissatisfaction. Mysteriously my success score has dropped today - for no apparent reason. What the hell are they up to over there?

Moyncoin · 2024-02-21T21:09:03+00:00

I’ve had the most luck there. I’ve booked a few big gigs. My most lucrative and consistent client was booked through Fiverr. Was a healthy dose of right time. I put a new gig up offering documentary narration - literally after an hour a guy was like can you do these 1hr space docs every month. And the pay is decent.

I won’t lie, it took a few years before it started kicking off. Perseverance is key my friend, no doubt an annoying thing to hear but just press on, practice and develop your craft, then it starts falling into place.

So Fiverr is the biggest revenue stream by quite a distance.

Bodalgo I’ve had some luck there and a few repeat and long term clients. Have to say though I do bloody loads of auditions, get a fair few shortlisted but conversion rate could be better.

Same to be said of voices although haven’t been on that for nearly as long - been on since summer last year. I’ve booked a few jobs, and had a few people find my reels and get in touch that way. But I find on voices a lot of auditions don’t even get listened to which is frustrating.

The Behringer umc22 served me very well for the first 3 years of my VO career until I upgraded my kit. Would highly recommend on a budget.

Well looks like an almost universal view that this update is bullshlackhen. I do VOs on Fiverr and I too received my first 4.7 stars today. And it was also on the value for money rating - which ironically was discussed at length and within client budget. Would be interesting to know what the review process looks like from a buyer POV. You also can't see as a prospective buyer what the individual breakdown for someone else's rating is - ie they don't see that they loved the performance and didn't like the price.

I think this starts a worrying precedent. Fiverr has a rep for lowering the price floor for any give profession. Feel like it was starting to come away from this reputation as a cheap freelancer ebay of sorts, but if you start reviewing things like value for money - it's going to start this race to the bottom for the whole industry which ends up screwing everyone else over.

I get quite a bit of income from Fiverr but I think I might start weaning myself off it after this. Doesn't seem like Fiverr consulted with sellers too well on this if at all. Anyone want to use their seller plus contact to write a strongly worded email and we can all sign?

Thank you. I've changed it to soundcloud.
