Voice Casting – Voice Over Talent Database – Week 2 in Review

There’s always some sort of risk when you leave yourself open for comments from customers. One of the things I have mentioned here and there when it comes to the design of the new database is transparency. We all want a voice casting site built upon transparency. What does it mean to be transparent? It means not having to sit around and try to dissect how or if someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

People want to know what is going on and it’s pretty hard for you guys to stay interested in a web site you can neither touch nor see. So it is my job, in the interest of transparency, to keep you informed about all of the things that are going on in and around the site. So I thought today with this post, we’d let you know what customers have been saying about us and the site as it stands so far. This is how people feel about what we’re doing.

Positioning for Voice Over Success – Are you ready when opportunity knocks?

For a long time I have discussed the idea of voice over positioning with a lot of non-industry related people when I would get caught up in explaining to them the intricacies of what I do every day, and how most of my daily, monthly and yearly attempts at self improvement in the industry were more related to positioning than they were to trying to have the best of everything. In a nutshell, I look at the things I do when it comes to studio and performance improvements as nothing more than working toward being properly positioned to take advantage of opportunity when it decides to knock.

I know many of us who have been doing this for years, have been “positioning” ourselves for success in the same way that I am writing about, but some of us may not have looked at it like this before. So I decided to share it because it popped up in another conversation this morning and I began to wonder why I had never written about it before.

Voice Over Talent Casting Database – Week 1 in Review

The new MineWurx Studio Voice Over Talent Database

This was the first week where we began to open the database up to new members. There’s really nothing to see. It’s just an upload process that allows people who wish to be a part of the early database testing to upload their demos and studio profiles. We also added a free voice talent directory for the people who took the time to upload their demos. Only a few have taken advantage of the free voice over talent directory so far, but that’s ok. It will continue to grow slowly.

So far the membership is only 20% women, which is a number that needs to improve as time goes on. Of the women we do have there are some good versatile talent, but we certainly need more. Currently 50% of the membership base has 10 years or more of experience which is also a very good number. Talent specialties are across the board. There is a very good mixture of talent as far as range is concerned. It’s really just the numbers that matter now.

Overall it was a good week for the system. The number of people who joined up was substantial and surprising. We only opened it up to different groups by special invitation, and will probably keep it invitation only for a while. If you haven’t come across our invitations so far send us a note at the studio with your credentials and we’ll tell you how to get on.
