Research Outline

Online Portfolio Solutions for Voice Artists

Goals

Identify any existing solutions and services for voice actors and narrators (not music-oriented performers or singers) that are specifically aimed at offering them an online portfolio or secondary service within a website, similar to SoundCloud, Wix, or SquareSpace. For each solution identified, their respective products/service offerings, pricing, and market share will be identified. These solutions should be online and available within the U.S. Solutions do not include marketplaces that permit voice actors and narrators to offer their services. This research will be used to better understand if there is a demjand for this type of offering, and if so, who the key competitors are and what they offer.
