Download The App1. First you will need to create an account on the Apple Store
website before you can download any apps.
2. When you sign up, you will need a credit card or payment
information, even if you only plan on downloading free apps, it
will still require this information. After you are done with this
process, you should have a user name (email address) and a
password. You will need these to download the app.
3. From your iPhone, click on the App store button and scroll
through to find the app, you want to install.
4. Select the app, you want and hit the "free" button (if it's a free
app), it will then change the "free" to "install". Click again to
install. Here is where you will enter your user name and password. You should only have to enter your username once
and your iPhone will remember it, but you will need to always
enter a password to prevent just anyone from downloading
apps to your iPhone.
5. Once your iPhone has started downloading the app, a status
bar will show up to indicate how long it will take to download
(around 1 minute). Once it is complete, you can access your
Voices.com app.

ProfileJust like your web page on Voices.com, your profile on the iPhone
app has been given the same amount of attention to detail when it comes to design, layout and ensuring that all the most relevant
information is in the right place. Your profile includes three main
sections; Bio, Demos and Feedback. Let’s go through each now.
On your Bio, you can list all your biographical information starting
with your Highlights, the first section listed where you can
summarized who you are, what you can offer and any
achievements or accomplishments you’d like to share. Next, take a
few moments to complete the rest of the fields which include:
Languages and Accents
Ages
Years of Experience
Microphone, Computer and Special Equipment

DemosShowcase your skills by adding a sample recording of your voice. If
you’ve already recorded and uploaded a voice over demo, you’ll see a list of your demos here. If you’re new to Voices.com or
haven’t yet created a demo recording you can do that too.
From the Demos list, simply tap a particular demo you’d like to see
more about. On the Demo Details screen displays you’ll see a large
audio player as well as all the specifics about your demo such as
the language, category, tags and number of times that the demo
has been listened to.
On the Demo Details screen, you can edit any of the text
information by clicking the pencil icon to go into edit mode. You
can edit the title, language, category and tags. This information is important because it’s used in the Voices.com search engine when
a prospective client is looking for a voice talent. As a rule of thumb,
the more information the better.
