Also not getting any invitations for voice work
I've checked my stats. I've changed my rates to as low as they'll go. I've uploaded five new voiceovers (somehow the ones I had there completely disappeared). It's going to be rather hard to up my stats and change my ratings if I don't get any work.

Me again. See the answer I posted to my question about getting jobs for only one accent. The answer I got to a support ticket on same question speaks to how jobs are made available. Bottom line, it's seems like the best way to get work, is to be very fast (with good quality) to what opportunities you DO get. The faster you are, say response speed in top 20% of VB voice actors (as seen on your stats page), the more jobs you'll have a shot at. Unless your rates are way out of line, they are probably not the cause of your drought. So, put your rates up to a level you can live with. And if you have another age-range or accent you are excellent at, put in your profile and add examples.
The real trick is getting a job to respond quickly to in the first place!! Haven't solved that one, expect to get bookings which are a result of samples. So in the mean time, pile on the samples. Cover as many categories as you can. Play with voices, characters, pacing, everything.
Good luck! -- Cat
Thanks, Cat. Come to think of it, the last samples I had up had sound effects and heavy editing. I'm going to do that to these and see if my job offers improve. Appreciate it!
I've done the same as the guy above. I then went on the site as if looking for a VO and unless I actually asked for me by name, my samples didn't come up! No wonder I'm not getting any enquiries!!!!
Any help gratefully received.

I started out getting work from VB....did a few jobs, all with 5-star ratings, and now for over a month, 'zero' work has come my way. What's the deal with this happening with VB?

Hi Kenny
Checking your stats, your ranking is actually quite low compared to other Pros. I see we already gave you details via email about your stats and gave you some recommendations to improve this. However, keep in mind that our system is comparative. If your overall performance needs improvement, our system will favor other Pros for invitations first.
Hope you can understand!
