A Voice123 alternative for indie voice work
By Buford Taylor, who runs Casting Call Club. Updated October 2026.
Voice123 and Casting Call Club both connect voice actors with people who need voices, but they're built for different work. Voice123 is a paid marketplace for professional voice over: commercials, e-learning, explainer videos. Casting Call Club is where indie creators cast characters: animations, games, fan dubs, audio dramas. Here's the honest comparison, as of October 2026.
At a glance
| Casting Call Club | Voice123 | |

| Who it suits | Beginners building credits, and creators casting characters | Working pros with a commercial demo |
Memberships and prices change often, so check Voice123's own site for current plans.
For voice actors
If you're starting out, Casting Call Club is the cheaper place to learn. You can audition for as many roles as you like without paying, get cast, and finish projects you can put on your profile and in your demo. Voice123 makes more sense once you've got a polished commercial demo and want to chase paying clients, because the membership only pays for itself if you book.
Plenty of people use both: Casting Call Club for character work and credits, Voice123 for commercial gigs.
For people casting
If you need a polished read for an ad or a training video and have a budget, Voice123 is built for that. If you're casting characters for an animation, game or audio drama, Casting Call Club lets you hear lots of people read your actual lines, for free, and talk with them right there. Here's how to write a casting call that gets auditions.
