Verify Your Audio on Casting Call Club
Starting a career in voice acting is tough; there's no way around it. It can seem impossible to make a name for yourself in such a large industry with absolutely no connections of your own. Using websites such as Voices.com, Behind The Voice Actors, or Casting Call Club can increase your chances of being discovered greatly, but even then there are limitations. For example, professional roles listed on Casting Call Club are strictly available only to members with verified audio. However, this hurdle alone won't stop the dedicated actors and actresses out there, and can be achieved in a matter of hours if done correctly and with passion.
Steps
- Go to the homepage of Casting Call Club, if you're not there already. Log in or Create an Account on Casting Call Club.
- Go to your profile. There will be a side-bar with three emblems on the right-hand side. Click on the ribbon on the far right.
- Read the text under "Verify Audio". You should read all of the expectations to get a clear understanding of what the mods are looking for.
- Buy a microphone. If you're looking to get verified, a 10 year-old Xbox headset and a cell phone is not going to do the trick. Look for a quality microphone, but nothing over your budget. Good microphones for amateurs can be acquired for a little over $100.
- Many voice actors recommend a Snowball or Yeti microphone for beginners.
- Fill out your userpage completely. Every box should be filled in before you attempt to verify. Some of these boxes will require you to make a few auditions and do some voice work on-site.
- If you absolutely cannot fill in certain boxes (such as not having any previous clients, education, or testimonials), then fill in the boxes anyway with N/A.
- Make quality auditions. The mods will be looking at your activity. If they see that your auditions are lacking effort, they are not likely to grant your verification request.
- Add any social links you may have. If mods can double-check your work experience, they will likely trust you more.
- Be sure to have at least one high-quality demo reel. This is essential.
- Behave professionally. By verifying your audio, mods basically give you the right to work among professional casting directors and production teams, and that means you must be professional, as well.
- Request your audio verification. By clicking on the ribbon icon and clicking "Verify Audio", a request will be sent. Wait for a response.
- Read the response. If you are verified, you are now one step closer to being a professional voice actor. If not, read what requirements you missed, and try again.
Tips
- You can request your verification as many times as you need.
- Always act with courtesy on the site.
- Positive recommendations may help you in getting your audio verified.
- If you pay for a Gold plan, you can remove auditions that aren't up-to-snuff from your profile.
Warnings
- Don't act irrationally on the site. Bad behavior will not go unnoticed.
