Stephanie Ciccarelli started the online voiceover talent marketplace a decade ago with her husband, David Ciccarelli. She currently shapes brand interaction and manages content to reach the Voices.com audience.
What should actors know about the voiceover business?
You don’t have to go the traditional route. [Voices.com] is a great opportunity for actors to get in front of a new audience, especially if they don’t have agency representation. There’s a huge variety of work with us—you can be doing readings for audio books or telephone or national radio and television. And every job that’s posted has to pay a minimum of $100.
Why should actors use Voices.com?
They can be their own agent; they can go after opportunities that they feel are best for them. So if a client posts a job and [the actor’s] profile matches the criteria, they’re invited to audition for the job. It’s the talent’s discretion to decide whether or not they feel they’re the right fit by doing a little bit of self-analysis; in that way, we train them to think like their own agent.
What do voiceover actors need to succeed?
To be artistically talented, understand your instrument, and have [your voice]
