    From simple streaming to bigger events, OBS has been able to handle all of it with full confidence from us. Have never questioned if it was going to be unreliable in a specific situation, even with minimal training. Software identified the external input source easily and had no issues setting that up (Blackmagic Mini Recorder), and great for pulling in separate audio from the computer input.

    For major "national" work often their financial compensation is in line. But for other generally smaller jobs I'm not sure it's a fair dollar amount. I'm not sure this is due to the client involved or a policy of Voices.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • OBS can be a little clunky sometimes, the lots of features can be a bit overwhelming
    • I can multitask with it, but can't run heavy software like Premiere alongside it
    • No way to make adjustments to file after it's done, have to use After Effects or Premiere for that

    • I'm not sure I'm given every fair chance at being booked for the various jobs for which I audition.
    • The amount given for payment for each job is mysterious. Often the same job from other sites is considerably higher there. I wonder if I'm being offered the amount I should be in a fair market.
    • Quite often the amount offered for long form jobs is way below industry standards.

    Very usable because it is free and has had a lot of people helping to suggest improvements and sponsors have allowed the product to grow in sophistication and suitability across a variety of situations and use needs. It is very logical to use once you get started, although the dashboard can seem intimidating at first.

    For a free product, a range of support is available. There are plenty of ways to find out answers to questions, because there are probably thousands of people using the product who are willing to share what they have learned. It usually works as designed, so needs for support are limited.

    I have also used TinyTake by Mango Apps and I prefer OBS studio because the video quality results are better and OBS allows you to record an unlimited length of the video. OBS also lets you record an entire screen instead of manually having to draw your parameters, which can create oddly sizes videos if you miss by a few pixels.

    I use both Voices and Voice 123. Initially i got more bookings with Voice. Now, I'm liking Voice 123 better. It's more transparent and offers much higher payments for voice acting work.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • It was great to have a platform that is free that I can experiment with without having to use our business capital on.
    • It took time to learn, but it helped me understand a lot of things, so it was a great learning experience.
    • It was a great balance of cost and time with the high-quality product we got from it.

    • Initially, the income and opportunity for increased income seemed great. Lately the paid jobs I've received has fallen way off. This is happening as I'm getting a lot better as a voice actor. It doesn't make sense. It's like Voices is somehow keeping me from getting gigs through their service.
    • Often over the years I've been upsold to change to their more expensive plans. I've tried them with NO discernible improvement with opportunities for me.
    • I'm going to have to get better ROI in the near future or I won't be continuing my subscription.
