Rights Holders - How Often Do You Browse Profiles?

So I'm finally at the point where I feel comfortable with my audition submission workflow (always evolving), and am looking at finally fleshing out my ACX profile in attempts to be credible and close some opportunities.

That being said, Rights Holders, I'm wondering:

  • Do you browse profiles for voices, or do you just check them out if interested in an audition submission?
  • If you do browse the narrator voices, what helps them stand out to you?

Happy to have some input from Narrators on this as well, especially if you have things to share you've heard from Rights Holders about your own profile that helped it's credibility and traffic.

Thanks!

Hey all, I haven't fleshed out my voices.com profile due to looking into what specialies are best for me to focus on first before getting sample recorded to place for people searching to find.

Today, however, I received a private invite to record a sample and have my voice evaluated for future projects on the platform. For doing the one minute of audio, they throw $100 bucks your way. While that sounds all and and good, I'm wondering:

  • Is this actually legitimate? I would assume so from the user profile it comes from and fact that it is done internally through the platform, but I feel it's still a valid question to ask.
  • Will my voice get cloned? It's very upfront about the sample not being used for broadcast or commercial use and only for AI "training" but I'm not sure what that actually entails.
  • Does this actually help fast-track myself for future gigs?
  • If answers to the above three questions shouldn't steer me away from this, what should I record?

As always, thanks for the consideration and input!
