I like the responsibility of protecting our work on our own shoulders. I would much rather give a potential client a really nice recording with a watermark or a slightly modified script than to have it sound like someone with a $10.00 USB mic hooked up to his laptop using Windows Sound Recorder.

Rich... I agree completely. That's one thing I like about TOS. I send 128k, they get 128k. Still small enough to be managable but pretty good quality.

I'm new to V123, but I must agree - it's unacceptable for a client to rate people they don't even use. Presumably, the not-so-genuine clients I've been reading about can do the same too - madness.
As its the talents who pay for V123 we should at least have some sort of blacklist for time-wasting clients  that we can all view. |

Well the good news are: The new Voice 123 will have something close to it, The leads will give you information about the voice seeker and how many leads has he/she posted, how long has he been using our services and a way to rate each single lead. |

When deleting a lead outright, I'd love to be able to check the reason for deletion:
__ Proposed budget to low
__ Too busy to respond
__ Job to small to warrant the requested custom audition
__ Unappealing content
__ Unavailable to serve this talent seeker or talent seeker type
__ Outside of services that I offer
__ Outside of my current skill set
__ Unable to meet location requirements
__ Lead does not contain enough detail
__ What am I leaving out? |

| Excellent idea Amy. That kind of feedback would be welcomed by me. Sending out dozens, 100's of auditions an getting nothing but silence back is frustrating. |
