In my last video, My (No Gear) Voice Over Christmas Wish List, one of my wishes was this: “I wish all of the pay-to-plays were ethical, but the chief offender here, of course, is Voices.com, but they're certainly not the only ones that put profit before talent and clients. These companies control a huge amount of work globally in the voiceover business, and it's a travesty to me that rather than seeing themselves as leaders and stewards of our industry, they couldn't give a reindeer turd about anything else other than putting profit ahead of people, clients and talent.” The next day, I got an email from David Ciccerelli, the Founder and CEO of Voices.com, and he’s NOT happy.
