Voices.com is an online marketplace for voice actors, where clients can search for voice talents needed for commercials, documentaries, video games, and similar projects. Clients can audition voice samples, post jobs, and listen to auditions on the platform. Voices.com has a database of over 20,000 voice actors who speak more than 100 different languages.
Recently, the company released a new API for this service, allowing external developers to "create richer applications around Voices.com's services and content." Essentially, it provides developers with an unconventional way to search for voices, enabling them to "find the perfect voice for their project faster and easier." You can visit the Voices.com API introduction page for more details.
An example of a REST call is demonstrated on the developer site, which primarily uses POST requests and XML-RPC responses, though SOAP is also supported. The API allows reading data such as "actors," "clients," "jobs," "auditions," and "transaction statuses." Additionally, the API enables posting jobs along with related audio files or submitting audition audio.
CEO David Ciccarelli stated that "developers will be able to profit from the results of their work. Exploring a solid partnership will naturally become our responsibility."
It’s also worth noting that: Voices.com uses Amazon S3 to store and retrieve audio files from its actors.
