VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

COURVO · Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2008 7:18 pm Post subject: VO Planet

'Did a search for "VO PLANET" here on the board, and got a lot of oblique references (altho, I must admit I didn't click on the all the search results).

Wondrin' if anyone else got the marketing ploy from them for a 2-week free use of their service.

They do a lot of comparing of themselves to V123 and Voices.

Any feedback from anyone?

I've heard of them, but I can't remember where... So I guess it hasn't had a big impact on me in many ways...

VO Planet is part of Michelle and Donna Summers' VoiceCasting.com resurrection.

That's about all I will say about that.

CourVO,

I got that e-mail, too. Deleted it.

I got that one too. I think I still have it somewhere. Thinking about it still. I may just never get off the fence about it.

Aw, c'mon DB.... just a little more??!!

Can't you characterize your opinion in objective terms, perhaps?

Besides, I thought Donna Summers tried a comeback, and it didn't work.

Oh, that's what it was (Donna and Michelle)... I'd forgotten. Yeah, I abandoned them a while back... Won't go there...

Try it, it's free for 15 days.

This is what I found.

Site freezes or fails to respond. I searched for male British English, middle aged - No results found. As my profile and demo's are on there that's not right is it?

At no cost that's good value for money. Re-packaging a largely useless product and calling it "The really useful product" changes it in name only.

Isn't this the same outfit that was having a bit 'o trouble a few years ago?

Deirdre · Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 7:58 am Post subject:

Yep.
They owed a lot of talent a lot of money for a long time— me included.

Clients had paid, but the money didn't go to the voice actors.
Lots of clients, tens of thousands of misappropriated dollars.

As far as I know, they have made good with everyone; they have certainly made good with me.

But aren't they just sending voicebank auditions, or have I misunderstood. B/c you can land yourself an agent for free and get the same or same quality of auditions.
