We’ve linked to the new voice over talent directory over at our other web site and we’re off and running getting it up and running. It’s in a very raw form right now – but it’s working and is certainly at a point where people can stop by and take a look. A lot [...]  Caryn Clark - The Hip Chick Voice A while back, as we were sitting here kicking around ideas about the up-and-coming voice over database, we got a little curious and went searching for voice talent. But not just any old voice talent. We went looking for well branded voice talent. All too often when you go digging around looking for a new voice you come across page after page that states, “I’m the greatest thing since sliced voice talent and I’m good at everything you could possible want to hire me for!” which we know to be mere self promotion, and more frequently then not, quite a false representation of the truth. As we were looking, I remembered Caryn Clark and how impressed I was with her web page and her branding. It struck me as one of the few web pages I had come across in recent searches, that actually matched the talent it was promoting. I recommended we give her page another look and we came to a unanimous conclusion: Caryn Clark is a well branded voice talent. And I’m going to tell you why. I guess I’ve burned one too many bridges over at the Yahoo voice over group . Apparently it’s ok if every voice over seminar in the world gets announced over there, but god forbid if I try to mention anything for free to the voice over community members who make up their membership. I’ve tried twice to post this over there, but the gatekeepers obviously have an axe to grind. Pretty much like the gatekeepers at other business directories, who for years have refused to list this site as a resource for voice over talent in their directory. Thanks guys. Keep up the good fight. Maybe one day I’ll quit and go away. Continue reading Here’s what they won’t post on the Yahoo Voice Over Group  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. |
