You would have to have been living under a rock to escape the talk about the now infamous interviews that have taken place this November with Voices-Dot-Com Co-founder, David Ciccarelli. \u00a0Interview #1<\/strong> was conducted in the Voices headquarters in London, Canada, with Edge Studios, Graeme Spicer.<\/strong> \u00a0It was a very fair interview conducted by Graeme. However,\u00a0David\u2019s responses tried to time out the allotted time and the tap-dancing was clearly on exhibit. \u00a0I don\u2019t think David had any idea that their changing of their business model, by adding the Professional Services Managers<\/em> and their lack of training, would snowball as it has with inaccurate responses and propaganda double-talk. Triple-Dipping, lack of listening to all auditions, etc., was\u00a0covered.<\/p>\n

Judge for yourself. Interview #1<\/strong> (audio only)<\/p>\n

BTW\u2026this interview was NOT released publicly by Edge Studios or Voices. Excuses were made. Fortunately, the voiceover community had the foresight to record it themselves and it has made it\u2019s way around the Internet without much trouble. The cat is most definitely, out of the bag.<\/em><\/p>\n

Interview #2<\/strong> was conducted over the Net, once again with David Ciccarelli<\/strong>, by Bill DeWees<\/strong>. A Q&A Webinar that was definitely not as volitale as the first. Bill is a great Podcaster, Voice Talent and shares his knowledgable wealth of the industry freely. However, David basically double-talked all the way through the webinar again and Bill, unfortunately, did not hold his feet to the fire to get to the truth. No disrespect meant to Bill\u2019s ability. He just didn\u2019t press David to be honest and let answers that were clearly inaccurate go by without question.<\/p>\n

Only again, judge for yourself. Interview #2<\/strong> (full audio\/video)<\/p>\n
