Voices offers a range of payment options. The most commonly used are credit cards and PayPal. 

For Plus and Enterprise clients, invoicing with 30-day terms is also available. Should you require more complex payment methods, we recommend you contact our Managed Services team who can handle all your complex billing needs.

Voices’ main priority is shared success between clients and talent, but it is also a business and as such, requires a revenue generating structure. 

In the spirit of shared success, when you succeed, we succeed. Our main revenue generator is the small portion of each completed job that goes toward Voices. 

We also earn an income off of the paid accounts from talent and clients. 

This helps us to stay in business to provide you with the best online voice marketplace possible. If you have any questions about the business or are interested in a career with Voices, we encourage you to contact us.
