Want to get more direct client Bookings? Samples are your answer!
First, Bookings are when clients go to our Search feature and decide to book a specific voice that matches their needs in terms of language, age/gender, purpose, and budget.
We wouldn’t want you to be missing out on bookings because, in the first place, the majority of the projects we get are Bookings. In fact, they make up over 65% of the projects we offer on our platform.
Second, and more importantly, they allow you to earn the most amount of money per project.
Now that you know how great and lucrative Bookings can be, let me share how you can get more of them!
Upload Samples!
The easiest way to get more bookings is to upload and tag high-quality samples of your previous work.
When a client starts searching our platform for voice-over artists for their project, our search engine will showcase all the samples for all the Pros that match that criteria.
So, your profile only appears when you have samples that exactly match the criteria a client is looking for.
Of course the higher the quality and varied samples you upload, the better. We recommend having at least 10 samples for every dialect/language, gender/age, and purpose you have in your profile.
For instance, if your profile says you can speak Slovenian and you can do the voice of a Female Young Adult and Female Middle Age, but your profile only has samples for Slovenian Female Young Adult, this means you would only get bookings for Slovenian Female Young Adult and you wouldn’t get any bookings for Slovenian Female Middle Age. That would be a bummer, right?
So to avoid that, upload and tag high-quality samples to your profile now. To learn more about how to upload samples and format requirements, please click here.

Hello Amal!
Thank you for this great advice. What I would like to know is what keywords are most searched by clients? If we as talent have not selected those words for our samples, we may not be getting heard by clients who might hire us.
Is there a list of keywords that are most searched?
Thank you so much,
Joe Brown

Hello Joe!
Clients search for a wide range of keywords every day. We do often send out emails with new keywords that clients are searching for, so keep an eye out for those. However, I would recommend having a wide variety of samples and tagging them with a wide range of keywords. That way your samples can appeal to as many clients as possible.
Hope that helps!
Thank you for the quick response, Amal. I appreciate that!
Is there any way you or someone can resend the most recent email regarding keywords?
Sincerely,
Joe Brown
Hello Joe!
We will be sending an email later this month with new keywords clients need once the list is ready!
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards,
Amal

Is it okay to use recordings from speediest or contests that you where approved for but didn't win?
Hi Cory,
That's a great question!
At the moment it is best not to use those audios on your portfolio, however, we'll bring this to the table for consideration.
Thank you very much for this amazing idea
