How Do I Reply to a Job Posting?

Online Audition Process

You can either audition directly from an email notification by clicking the "Reply to Job" button or by visiting the Leads tab in your Voices.com account.

To audition for a job posting, click on the link to the job under the Leads tab. This will bring you to the project details. If this project interests you, click on 'Reply To Job'.

Once you have clicked on 'Reply To Job', you will land on the 'Online Audition' page to submit your proposal.

When auditioning, you are given the opportunity to include a brief proposal, your MP3 demo and a price quote for the client to review.

Now for the best part. You can send an MP3 that you have already uploaded to your Profile area, instead of uploading a new demo. This saves you time and makes the auditioning process an enjoyable experience. Include a demo from your Profile by selecting 'Attach Existing MP3'. This will give you a drop down menu of all the files from your profile. Click on the file that you would like to audition with, and then click 'Submit' to conclude the auditioning process.

If there is a script attached to the job posting, Voices.com recommends recording a portion of the client’s script for auditioning purposes.

To upload a custom demo or file that is not available in your Files area, click on the 'Browse' button to locate the file on your computer hard drive. You will receive a confirmation that your audition was submitted successfully once you have clicked on 'Submit' to conclude the auditioning process.

A record of your audition will be recorded in your 'Answered Leads' for future reference.

What should I type in the proposal area?

The most rewarded auditions that clients consider when they are looking for a voice include custom written proposals for their project. A persuasive and relevant note will catch more eyes quickly than even the most creative demo.

Dear Client, I have included a sample and quote that will suit your project. Visit my webpage for more samples should you require a different style of read. My rate is negotiable and my estimated turnaround time is 24 hours depending on the length of the final product, dry voice only. I look forward to working with you.
