Podcast appearances and mentions of david ciccarelli

Audio continues to be a massive part of our lives, and we don't even think about it. Brands that take extra time to craft a great audio experience for people benefit significantly. Whether as part of your product mix or your client experience, not leveraging audio is a missed opportunity to get an extra touch point. How do you change that? Listen to David Ciccarelli, Co-Founder and CEO of Voices, as he discusses how audio is an under-utilized brand channel and what to do about it.

Words matter in marketing. Ultimately, people want to hear what they think they sound like. As a brand, how do you sound like your target buyer persona? Brands have long been concerned about what they look like and neglect what they sound like. With audio as a thriving medium coming to the forefront, what does your brand sound like?

It's November and as we stare down the barrel of the Holiday Season, it's clear that 2023 has held more change and transition for the VO business than any of us knew at the start of the year.  We've also seen some change and transition in the PSP platforms, especially at the largest of the VO-specific platforms, Voices, as they replaced Founder David Ciccarelli as CEO with interim CEO Jay O'Connor in October. So today as we start wrapping our heads around 2024, I think there's an opportunity here to begin to repair a fraught relationship between the platform and the voice over community, and so I thought I'd write an open letter to Voices and Interim CEO, Jay O'Connor. I believe that Voices can run a healthy, profitable business, provide significant value for shareholders, and have an ethical, collaborative relationship with the voice actors who provide the services upon which Voices is built. Here are a few steps Voices can take to start to repair our relationship and show some good will toward the voice-acting community.  _____________________________ ▶️ Watch this video next: https://youtu.be/1JA7Xev1LNw?si=ffg3Wo9JVEq4Ovr4 The NAVA fAIr Voices Pledge: https://navavoices.org/fair-voices/ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@paulschmidtpro?sub_confirmation=1 The VO Freedom Master Plan: https://paulschmidtpro.com/vo-freedom-master-plan The VO Pro Community: https://vopro.app  Use code You15Tube for 15% your subscription for life.

Two weeks ago I said that Voices was getting desperate and ten days later they ousted their CEO, David Ciccarelli. I hate to say I told you so, but… Earlier this week, Voices made the following announcement: Dear Valued Customers and Friends, Today, we share some bittersweet news as we bid farewell to a cherished member of our team, David, who has been at the helm of Voices.com, Inc. as its chief executive officer for the past 18 years. Since founding Voices.com, David and his wife Stephanie have been instrumental in nurturing and growing the community and building the marketplace. His dedication and leadership have been integral to our success and we are immensely grateful for the journey we have shared under his guidance. David's decision to step down as CEO was not made lightly.  So, what does this mean for Voices going forward? And more importantly, what does it mean for voice actors? Spoiler alert: It ain't good for anybody. _____________________________ ▶️ Watch this video next: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVUuUfwNTG-_UBjCXVGJi5gu3H_LpbKDC&si=Rk_YJh1xxJAKFbzM SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@paulschmidtpro?sub_confirmation=1 The VO Freedom Master Plan: https://paulschmidtpro.com/vo-freedom-master-plan The VO Pro Community: https://vopro.app Use code You15Tube for 15% your subscription for life.

What if we could really change how the P2Ps work? What if we could have a real dialogue with the people that matter, the decision makers, the policy makers, at the online casting sites? What if we could make actual recommendations directly to those people at the very top of the pay 2 plays? It's one thing to have an online monologue to someone in such a position, as we did to David Ciccarelli of Voices. But it's another thing entirely to be able to ask questions of and make honest recommendations to the CEO of a major P2P platform. As it happens, just such an opportunity is coming up. My friend and colleague, Paul Strikwerda will be leading an interview with Rolf Veldman, the CEO of Voice123 at VO Atlanta 2023.

In my last video, I Offended Voices.com and Here's How, David Ciccarelli, the Founder and CEO of Voices, asked me to lay out the facts of my assertion that they put profit before talent. I laid out five facts that detail their history of disregard for transparency when it comes to fees, taking egregious cuts of project budgets, and others. The reaction was, to say the least, just nuts. Unprecedented.

Voice acting sounds like a pretty niche career, right? It reminds me of the radio ads I grew up with, in the 80s and 90s – the familiar voices whose faces and names I probably never would see or know. However, through my media and PR career, I have employed scores of voiceover actors to narrate videos and more recently, even be the face of a campaign and usually through connections I already had over an agency. I'm speaking today to experienced techpreneur David Ciccarelli, the Founder, and CEO of Voices. His business is for anyone who has been told their whole life that they have a great voice and should be on the radio, considering the exciting world of voice acting. More than just talking, voice acting requires the ability to connect with an audience and bring a script to life, the technical capability to record, edit and export high-quality audio, and the business know-how to reply to jobs, negotiate gigs, and follow up for future work. Income potential ranges from US$100 to $10,000 per job depending on if the work will air on broadcast television or for non-broadcast uses such as phone system recordings or internal corporate training videos. David's company has been written about in The New York Times, CNNMoney, BusinessWeek, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Fast Company. He has appeared on Business News Network and The Globe and Mail TV. He is currently attending Harvard Business School and is a frequent guest speaker at industry conferences.  A big warmed-up voice welcome to David as we unpack The Politics of Voice Acting.   In this podcast, we chat about: How has the voice acting sector changed over the years? Do you need formal training to succeed and what about customized areas like accents? What specific role has new technology played in enabling anyone to become a voice actor? E Who was the best voice actor you ever worked with and why? Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Voice Acting?     Contact details: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidciccarelli/?originalSubdomain=ca W: https://www.voices.com/

My name is Tom Poland beaming out to you from little Castaways Beach in Queensland, Australia, joined today by David Ciccarelli. David, good day. Sir, a very warm welcome from down under. Where are you hanging out? David Ciccarelli 00:25 I'm hanging out just outside of Toronto, Canada. So pretty much the polar opposite from where you are, but great to be here together! Tom Poland 00:31 Talking about polar, you probably are sliding into fall. Are you? David Ciccarelli 00:36 Before you know it. Absolutely! And that's kind of synonymous with Canadians. People think it's all frigid here, but we have plenty of land. It's actually further south, believe it or not, than much of the United States. But happy to be here, nonetheless, despite what season it might be outside. Tom Poland 00:51 Thank you, sir. Thanks for being here, too. David, folks, if you don't know him, he's got this really, really interesting niche, his service niche that he provides, but we'll get to that in a moment. Background though, he's an entrepreneur at heart for the last decade with the help of his team, he has grown Voices.com from the ground up to become the leader in the voice industry. And that's the clue to the specialty I referenced. The title is, “How to Define Your Audio Brand and Where to be Heard Online”. A lot of us used protocols around our visual brand, but our audio brand, now online, with the videos and the live streaming of podcasts, etc. is right up there in terms of determining the quality of your reputation and brand consistency, which, hopefully, is going to be a reflection of the quality of your product and services and consistency. So, again, “How to Define Your Audio Brand and Where to be Heard Online”. David, our seven minutes starts now. Sir, question number one, who is your ideal client? David Ciccarelli 01:50 Well, our ideal client would be a creative producer. They might work at a corporate brand marketing department or marketing department. They might work at an advertising agency, but somebody who's creating content– could be on video, could be on audio, but that's our ideal client. Tom Poland 02:04 Perfect! Thank you, sir. Question two, six and a half minutes left, what's the problem you solve for them? David Ciccarelli 02:08 Well, brand marketers really have a story to tell. They want to educate, inform and entertain their audience. And they've discovered that the human voice is one of the most influential, you know, form factors that can take to tell that story. But the challenge becomes, “Where do I go to get that done?”, “What is the kind of the rules of engagement?” And so that's the problem that we're trying to solve both the finding of talent and helping them complete it in a fast, easy way. Tom Poland 02:37 So tell me- thank you for that. Question three, we've got six minutes left, doing well for the time. What are some of the symptoms? So if you've got this ideal client out there, somewhere, how do they know they need to dive more into your specialty? What's going on? David Ciccarelli 02:51 Well, for them, it could be a matter of capacity. You know, a lot of us have, you know, creative talent, like graphic designers that we work with full time. Others, such as voiceover, or voice acting. You're not necessarily going to have that type of work on all the time. So that's kind of capacity and being able to hire someone on a freelance basis, easily. That's certainly something that's going on. But even if you were to choose, you know, a project comes onto your plate, or you, as a marketing leader, decide to move into a new channel that is heavily reliant on voice. Now, one of the challenges is just lacking that lexicon. “How do I describe a voice?” We all have these references for describing the visual identity– space, color, shape? But how do you describe the voice? So we try to guide people through that type of creative direction when looking for that perfect voice for your project on the platform. Tom Poland 03:44 So, folks, we're talking about getting the voice that people are hearing and influencing them towards choosing your services or products or engaging with them, talking about having consistency in that and applying the same sort of protocols you might have visual appearances. So there is consistency and brand recognition and so on. David, what would you say- this is question number four. We've got four and a half minutes left. What would you say are some of the common mistakes that people make when, other than not even being aware of that as a significant problem or potential opportunity, what would you say are some of the mistakes you see people making before they find your service? David Ciccarelli 04:18 One of the most common mistakes is just lacking creative direction. And I would even go a little step further before that, lacking, you know, Sonic brand or audio brand guidelines. Now, the way you might overcome that is, you know, if you could picture your brand, walk into a room or speak. You know, if you had a mascot, it's a little bit easier. But if your brand was personified, what would they sound like? And what's often missing is we see the creative direction where someone says, “Oh, I want somebody professional.” Well, is that more indicative of the quality of the recording? Or are you actually looking for a career professional, a corporate executive, if you will? So I would challenge, you know, again, marketers, creative producers out there to actually describe the role, who it is that you want to be kind of narrating, and the style. How is that performed? Those two things will help you overcome the lack of creative direction and actually provide the voice talent out there with clear direction to deliver you that read that you go, “Yes! That's the person that represents or personifies my brand.” Tom Poland 05:26 Perfect! Thank you, sir. Question number five, we've got three minutes left, one valuable free action or item, a top tip, if you'd like, that someone listening to this could take. May not solve the whole problem, but it might take them a step in the right direction? David Ciccarelli 05:39 Well, you know, it really just kind of picking up from the previous question is, you know, we run a lot of clients through this exercise of translating the visual identity into the audio identity. Now, their visual identity might imbue certain values. Well, what are the equivalent audio terms that can do that? And an example was, “Oh, our brand is purple.” Okay, does that mean that it's passionate? And is that the kind of read that you're looking for? Or, you know, “Our brand, you know, we think of who we're selling to or people who are, you know, very smart and witty.” Okay, well, then that should be- you know, if that's kind of the target market, that should be the same attributes that you would provide a voice actor to perform. So people buy from people that sound like them, so that's a really key takeaway. So think about who your ideal customer persona would be. Tom Poland 06:36 That's so smart! David Ciccarelli 06:36 And then, how white they sound. And then that's kind of the artistic direction that you would provide. So if you sell predominantly to a particular gender, or age range, or demographic, that's probably the persona that you want to hire to become your audio ambassador, because people buy from people who sound like them. Tom Poland 06:54 Right. That's fascinating! A whole new world of marketing influence opens up. Question six, we've got 90 seconds left, one valuable free resource. Where can we direct people to go to get even more value? David Ciccarelli 07:07 Sure. Well, one of the tools that we've developed is what we call “sonic brand or audio brand guidelines”. Most organizations have, you know, visual identity guidelines. But I would encourage those who just want to see, “Well, what does a sonic logo look like and sound like?”, “What do the audio guidelines look like?” You can actually go to voices.com, our homepage, and if you scroll to the very bottom in the press section, you'll get a link to our media kit. And in there, there's actually a link where you can listen to our sonic logo. So again, it's just a three-second musical clip that we put at the beginning of our phone system, at the end of our YouTube videos. That is that constant reminder. It's just a sing-songy voice that's what it says, but then there are the audio guidelines of when and where you might use that. What's the kind of musical genre that we might be using as well too? Are there sound effects? Yes or no? So that's a great PDF resource that hopefully inspires people to use. Tom Poland 08:03 Thank you, sir. So go to voices.com. Scroll down, look for the company page, go to “press” and then media kit. Question number seven, sir, we've got 12 seconds left. The one question I should have asked you but didn't? And we've got 10 seconds for it. David Ciccarelli 08:17 Well, I hope people will find some value. If they're looking to get a hold of me or anyone from our team, just simply visit voices.com.

David Ciccarelli is a husband to his partner in life and business, Stephanie, and a dad to 4 kids - one boy, and three girls. He loves to be doing anything outdoors - hiking, biking, etc - and has a cottage out in the country. His most memorable hike was near his hometown, at the Provincial Park, where he climbed up to the top if the Sleeping Giant.Being a true Canadian, he was able to direct my suspicions about Poutine, which is French fries, gravy and cheese curds - aka an indulgent dish. He said that its more of a regular favorite in places like old Quebec, but most people enjoy it perhaps once a year, as you can't really have it every day.Growing up, David loved experimenting with sound - playing piano, tuning into radio stations, and tinkering with an old record player. He discovered there was an audio engineering program at school, and set out with the goal of starting a small project recording studio. He met his now wife and co-founder through their first voice recording project... which then, began to be advertised and attract more and more talent.This is the creation story of Voices.com.SponsorsCourierImg.lyRoutableCTO.aiCloudways offers peace of mind and flexibility so you can focus on growing your business instead of dealing with server management.

Welcome to Not Another Marketing Podcast where I'm talking to David Ciccarelli, CEO of voice over marketplace Voices.com. Listen up for a masterclass on hiring a voice over for your next project.

David Ciccarelli, co-founder and CEO of Voices.com, shares how his startup in 2005 has ended up being the largest marketplace for voice talent. With over one million members spanning 160 countries, the platform generates 5,000 jobs a month.He shares the four pillars to the success of a marketplace: 1) having a healthy number of participants, balanced on the supply and demand side, 2) making sure high-quality information is shared, 3) the exchange of products needs to be encouraged to stay within the marketplace, and 4) there has to be an established and reliable currency for the exchange. Ciccarelli's strategy of focusing on voice talent has been a key part of the company's success. With a global annual spend of four to five billion dollars, this niche was definitely worth concentrating on. He explains that discipline on the vision is essential. However, if you see patterns and consistent demands from customers, you need to think of iterating your product.Keeping all participants happy via a transparent, shared success culture is essential. The company uses Gross Services Value as its indicator of marketplace health. This means that clients and suppliers are not going off-platform. They are returning based on Voices.com's value, trust, price, and quality of talent. Email - david@voices.comWebsite - voices.comThis episode is brought to you by Remote.Remote working is now becoming the standard of great employment in today's world. If you want to embark on this transformation but don't know how, Remote can help you.
