If you\u2019re anything like me (which, as a fellow voice actor I\u2019m guessing maybe you are), you love all things creative and expressive, and you want your website to be just that! But\u2026 hang on\u2026 there\u2019s JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL\u2026I just wanted to pick my colors and fonts and let someone else handle all that!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You won’t need to sketch out ideas, don’t worry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let me introduce you to \u201csomeone else\u201d: VoiceActor.com, a custom DIY site builder created by <\/span>Voice Actor Websites<\/span><\/a>. They are the bee’s knees in streamlined web design <\/span>specifically for voice actors<\/span><\/i> and some of the top talent in our industry use their services for good reason.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>No panic necessary – you don\u2019t have to drop big bucks for it either. Sign up for free, play around and design to your heart’s content with features specifically designed to highlight you, your demos, and work, and capture potential clients\u2019 attention. When you\u2019re ready to level up, it\u2019s a sweet and simple $200 (with your SAV student discount!) and you\u2019ll get service that will rock your socks off. Of course if you\u2019re feeling it, they have leveling-up options later on, with designers, coders, and personal project managers assigned to you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fancy pants aside, if you\u2019re on an entry-level membership (like myself), using their new cloud-based DIY website builder, you will have your own customized website in literal minutes. The whole process couldn\u2019t have been easier, and again \u2013 if you fall into the \u2018someone like me\u2019 category \u2013 they will hold your hand the entire way if need be. The customer service from the communications manager is like having your best friend along for the ride. Supportive, knowledgeable, and excited for this part of your journey with you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll start with a discovery Zoom call showing you all the features and what other voice actors have created with them. Signing up was a matter of minutes and then you\u2019re on the way! There are so many templates to choose from, and they\u2019ve thought of every section: downloadable audio demos, bio, videos of your work, contact info, social media handles, testimonials, client reels\u2026 if you don\u2019t have some of these things from the get-go, no worries. You can always re-visit and add sections later on. If you\u2019re coming in with the big guns, they are ready and waiting to build a gorgeous site around your brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my favorite things was seeing what other voice actors had done with the templates \u2013 when Voice Actor Websites say they are truly customizable, they\u2019re not lying! A full range color palette (with recommended schemes but the freedom to choose your own if you prefer!), along with different fonts, font sizing, and backgrounds \u2013 you can even upload your own background images. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>For a surprisingly technologically-dense-at-times-millennial like myself, there hasn\u2019t been a single hiccup along the way. Any changes or additions I\u2019ve thought of have been handled by the team <\/span>the same day<\/span><\/i>, and my website never skips a beat. If you come ready with a custom domain name, there are oodles of videos on how to link it, no matter what provider you\u2019re with, and if the thought of doing anything yourself sends you screaming for the hills, the VAW team is on it for you, professional, efficient and fun to work with to the very end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a question or concern about building your website, trust me, they\u2019ve thought of it and made it simple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The process essentially looks like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pick a template<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Choose your styling<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Upload your content\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Yup. That\u2019s it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Following the \u201cif you\u2019re anything like me\u201d theme\u2026 you might want to try out a few different templates, or change your mind over time. Every detail is easy to edit by yourself, and you can change templates, styling, fonts, colors, and more at any time. You don\u2019t need to know any coding or fancy acronyms to get what you want. <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Being a professional voice actor, my big \u2018thing\u2019 for my website was to have my audio demos playable, downloadable, and be able to integrate a third-party demo player if necessary \u2013 not only can you do that, but they have audio demo analytics built into your site so you can see who\u2019s listening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Getting a little more technical (cause if you\u2019re still here I know you <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> want to know about the nitty gritty), an entry-level site brings with it Google Analytics Integration, a free SSL Certificate, website hosting, SEO Meta options, and a QR code generator. Business lingo aside, this service has been designed <\/span>by<\/span><\/i> voice actors <\/span>for <\/span><\/i>voice actors. So you get access to industry-specific tools like a text case converter (to improve the readability of your scripts), a script timer, a PayPal and Stripe Fee Calculator (goodbye having-to-do-my-own-math!), and a time-zone converter \u2013 all tools designed to elevate your professional presence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    As voice actors, we\u2019re faced with a lot of unique challenges. We have to be our own everything in every department. This is one place you can take the pressure off and let the pros do it for you, at an incredibly reasonable price. This is a game changer, whether you\u2019re entry-level or in the big leagues, there\u2019s something for everyone. Do yourself and your business a favor and go check \u2018em out<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
