Adding Images
Upload a picture of yourself or a company logo. For best results, upload a square image with equal dimensions.
How do I upload my photo?
Here's a quick tutorial on how to add a picture to your website at Voices.com
1. To upload your picture, you'll need to save the image as a .gif or .jpg and have it saved as a file on your computer. Then you will need to sign into your account and go to the General Info section of your account.

2. You will need to click on Edit to be able to add an image file or edit an existing file
3. Then you will Browse your computer for your image file, select it and the path to the file will appear in the Select File box.
4. Click Save at the bottom of the profile page. The file should now appear in the Profile area of your account as well as on your personal website.
Image Dimensions
The ideal image dimensions are 180 pixels wide by 180 pixels high. Regardless of the exact size, having a square image is the most important.
Sometimes Image is Everything
You've probably heard the cliche "image is everything". In terms of audio, you wouldn't necessarily think that image means anything at all and presume that how you sound is the only thing that matters.
That may have been true years ago when agents handled most of the voice over work and break downs, but today, the reality is that the power is now in your hands to both promote yourself and get the work.
Pro Headshot
If you have a professional headshot that you can use (and want to use) go for it! When you use a headshot, it's important to keep your photo current. You should have a new headshot taken every 2 to 5 years depending on your career. Many of you are also on-camera artists so you know what I mean by this. Whether or not you should use a headshot as a voice over performer is debatable... the choice is ultimately up to you and your preference.
