And of course Pay to Play sites
We know there's a mindset for beginning actors coming up in this changed landscape that says
"I don't need an agent" to find voice-work out there. As a Client, perhaps you don't think you have a budget for professional talent or you think casting directors and agents make things more difficult and take too much time (we've heard it all).
BUT, If you are going to use a Pay 2 Play casting site. At least use a VOC recommended one.
These are the only one's making an effort to work with the VO industry today.

"Many online voice casting sites allow anyone (who’s willing to pay) the ability to audition. That may be great for that site’s revenue stream, but it’s the antithesis of casting’s true purpose: to find the best talent for the job. We care more about the outcome, than the income." ~ Select Vo
