Can somebody run down the pros and cons of VOPlanet? I keep getting e mails to sign up, but not sure if I want to...or should.

I looked at them once; the main drawback I saw was that on any variant of "VO casting" or "VO talent" in Google they never came up within the first five pages. So v123 has an advantage over most in SEO. (you gotta give'em that) That was several months back, so that may have changed -- don't know. Maybe try searching and see what you get now.

I joined up and landed a great gig from them. From the female aspect, there are a lot more jobs for the boys to try out for, but that's the same everywhere. The gigs are usually very high paying,too. I'd say worth it! Smile

Ember, did you join VOPlanet or did you go thru VoiceCasting?

I'm assuming VoiceCasting is their "agency" for which they select talent, and VOPlanet is their pay to play option? I have no idea though and am totally guessing. I actually called them today and left a message to find out the difference.

through VOPlanet. They've combined the agency and VOPlanet. It's all one big thing now Smile

You don't get a vote here, September. You're too good and could get a gig ANYWHERE! Wink
