There is no more effective way to reach and connect with voiceover professionals. In addition to The Voiceover Community Facebook Group, TheVoiceOverCommunity.com, Weekly Newsletter, Instagram and Twitter channels, The VoiceOver Community provides one of the most vibrant, trusted and active communities for voiceover professionals.
Sponsorships provide a collaboration that enhances the value Community members have come to expect. This provides resources for the Community to grow and enhance the members’ experience. This collaboration also puts essential and unique products and services in front of active voiceover professionals. This informs and educates the Community, as well as provides a singular and unique opportunity for select vendors to reach a niche, but highly active consumer market.
About The Voiceover Community
Marc Preston established the VoiceOver Community in 2019. Since that time, it has grown to be the largest voiceover community of its kind in the world. It is a daily part of the lives of more than 35,000 members. Marc created the group to be a mixing place for established voiceover professionals, as well as talent new to the industry.
The VoiceOver Community was designed to be a free portal for current information and conversation. The Community is curated for its members’ benefit, not for those that merely want to self-promote, sell or otherwise not contribute in an appreciable way. It’s this freedom from the clutter of promotion that makes vetted and invited sponsors’ messages stand out.
The VoiceOver Community is guided by a respected voiceover industry veteran. Marc wanted to pay it forward and create a venue for discussion and a free flow of knowledge. Moreover, he wanted to create a space that would be a part of helping the industry to maintain professional standards. This is in addition to helping members to thrive and stay on top of technology in an ever evolving marketplace. For the group to be truly successful, it needs to be of value to its members. It’s this standard of value for the members that also provides a unique value for select sponsors.

A Great Mix of Members
Marc prides himself in the diversity and mix of members in the VoiceOver Community. It features a large number of full-time talent. These established voiceover professionals are active consumers of gear and services, and regularly look to the group for recommendations.
The group also features a nearly equal number of newer talent that are currently in training. In fact, 84% of the members reported that they have paid for training. The fact that these members are paying for training is proof that they are actively investing in their careers.
Most talent don’t make their primary gear purchases until they complete their initial training, or are close to completion. Accordingly, in the near term, this portion of the group’s membership will be making investments in gear and services.
This illustrates some unique opportunities for sponsors. It places them in front of active and soon to be active consumers who will continually invest in their careers.
