Voices has a new way to hire talent that’s faster and easier than ever! We are excited to introduce you to the Project Marketplace.

The Project Marketplace allows clients to hire instantly and see all project pricing and delivery times upfront. Let’s walk through how to use this new buying experience. 

In this article

Let’s Begin!

You can buy projects in an easy 5 step process. 

Before beginning, you’ll want to login to your account. If you don’t have one yet, you can create an account for free

1. Find Your Project

There are a few ways to find projects but we’ll focus on the two main ones here: Search and navigation. 

Search

Using the search bar at the top of the screen, change the ‘talent’ drop down to ‘projects’. Now simply type in your keywords and hit enter! 

Navigation

At the top of every screen you will see a ‘Find Talent’ drop down. By hovering over that you will see a Project Marketplace section. Included in there is a list of helpful quick links that will bring you to the Project Marketplace based on what you select. 

2. Filter and Select

Now you’re in the Project Marketplace and it’s time to find the right project for you! You will see filters to the left of the search screen that we encourage you to use to filter down to only the projects you want to see. 

Determine which project you want to buy by listening to the samples, evaluating the price, reading the project details and reading reviews. 

3. Customize Your Package

Now that you’ve selected which project you want, you get to make it your own! 

Non-broadcast projects have the option to be offered as different packages that range from good, better, best – what we call Essential, Enhanced and Elite. Each package will have an increase in what is included with it as well as an increase in price. 

If you want just a few additional items but not the full package, not to worry, you can also customize with add-ons. Select your package, click ‘Continue’ and you will be prompted to include optional add-ons. 

Broadcast projects are offered by usage. Select the usage level you will be using (ie: national, regional, local) and click continue. You will also have the option to include specific add-ons to your project. 

4. Payment Details 

At this point you will be prompted to input your payment details. Depending on your subscription level, you can pay with credit card, PayPal or, for Plus and Enterprise clients, via invoice. You will not be charged until the talent accepts your agreement and then your payment will safely move into our SurePay™ system.

5. Final Requirements

Final requirements are the final stage in the checkout process. This is where you have the opportunity to provide the talent with any information you have for them – the script, artistic direction, NDAs, etc. 

You will also select specific accents and voice age where applicable.

Final requirements are a crucial part of the process because the talent cannot begin work until these are completed. 

All done! 

That’s it! The talent will complete your project within the given time frame. You will be notified via email when your project is ready. Just sit back and wait!
