You got a Job
If you have been awarded a job through a Voices.com job posting, you will be uploading your recorded files directly to the Files tab for the Job within your Voices.com account.
From within the job posting, click the Files tab.
- At the top, either click the +Add Files button at the upper-left or drag and drop your selected files in the blue upload section.
- If you should need to remove any files from this section before uploading them, click the delete button at the right.
- When you are satisfied with the files you have queued click Upload. Your files will move one by one from the blue upload section at the top to the white section at the bottom as they are uploaded.
- Once you have successfully uploaded your file(s) don’t forget to click Request Approval to alert the client that there is new material available for review.
With the exception executable (.exe) files and a handful of other potentially dangerous file types, any file type (MP3, WAV, AIFF, etc.) can be uploaded.
There is a file size limit of 2GB per file you can upload, which is typically plenty of room for you to upload files
