I have a small business of my own where I do a lot of videography for weddings and other events. I have bought everything from voiceover work to logos on Fiverr. Those that use Fiverr when someone messages you about a job and you make them a custom offer. Would you then message then 2 minutes later with another offer for needing more money. I am trying to figure out if this is normal on Fiverr. This makes me feel that it’s almost scam like. I offer you let’s say 20 bucks to get you in the door and then do the bait and switch to get more out of you. Any thoughts on this?

@Earl Hall I agree, and after speaking with several of my friends that do work on Fiverr, they were telling me that it is common for that to happen.

@Ralph Toles Whenever I do business on Fiverr I always message the seller. I explain my expectations and even detail out what I want. I ask for a custom order because I want to make sure that they are getting paid what they are worth for their time. If I ever give a person a price for my services and the work is to much, I will never ask for more money. This makes me reevaluate my pricing for my time. I learn from my failures.

Hi all! I'm not sure who might benefit from this but I wanted to post it. I know a few people in our community told me they used an acting coach. Here is a website I found that has online sessions. We're now in a digital world so I guess it's par for the course. https://takelessons.com/search?service=Acting&focus=group&location_type%5B%5D=location_online&timeZoneId=America%2FChicago

I did use them for college credit. Indiana Tech gave me an option either use them or pay for another class that I didn't need so I took the lesser cost which was around 200 bucks. The lady that I trained with was really good and knowledgeable. This is where I got my introduction to VO. The lady's name was Sara M and she was excellent. Now, I, on the other hand, was just using it for college and did not care at the time I still have the recordings and you can tell that I did not care but she did because it was a passion of her's.
