Our monthly Office hours focuses on whether and when to audition on online casting sites like Voice123 and Voices.com. The discussion emphasizes that you can start auditioning anytime if you treat it as practice and do not expect immediate bookings, since most people need many submissions. A key point was that “ready” means being competitive, knowing your wheelhouse, and staying strategic because you are competing with full-time voice actors. We also discussed demo and website guidance, including keeping demos genre-specific and launching even if not perfect, and one member reported booking two audiobook jobs with a 33% conversion rate while a surgery travel window could affect recording timelines.
