Voice actors beware!
I'm still in a fuming state of rage after reading an article that was posted earlier today. It talks about a website where voice talent can sign up to get paying jobs (of which there are plenty.) Voice actor and attorney, Rob Sciglimpaglia Jr., digs into the site's contract to show the voice-over world just how some websites treat the talent that use their services.
If you haven't already, read the article!
While seasoned voice actors usually pay close attention to contract details, those who are just beginning their journey into voice acting may not be aware of some of the "sneaky bits" located in the fine print of some contracts. Beware!
A thousand thanks to Voice Over Xtra and Rob Sciglimpaglia Jr. for helping voice over artists protect themselves!

I just read the article. That’s damn scary!
I’m going to go back and check the websites I am a member of.
I think the website he is talking about is this one:
