Vocalfy has great vocals that are unique, which never flag and their customer service is second to none when there is a rare issue with a download. They are also very personable. If you can afford the Exclusive I highly recommend you go that route, but the rest of the vocals are taken down after a short run. I've yet to hire a vocalist but that would be a good call for professional work and is a great option to have available

I have spent almost 8 years on this…
I have spent almost 8 years on this website and it has done me nothing but wonders. Great site, great for my book reviews and has done me well in terms of making some great connections with others. Love it here, never leaving if I can help it x

I got it amazon product description and AI
At first, I stared at work on vocal.com in the wrong way. But I have to study the Vocal.com article on the online working process deeply and also watch a YouTube video. But the YouTube video was not clear. I have to develop my own ideas.When I put it down, I got a result.Yes! Obviously! To be industious, honest, helpful, and constructive.I understood very frequently in favour of my study and work. Thanks.

The WORST writing website available
The WORST writing website available, which begs the question: Why are they still in business? The WORST customer service, community guidelines, reviews of content which makes me question the ability of their people to judge content correctly, they will not approve your content and also close your account for the most ridiculous reason, or NOT give a reason at all (especially one with specifics), cannot talk to a live person to discuss anything, and the list goes on. How many red flags does one need to know to stay away from these scammers? Please Medium, Reddit and other members from other sites, do not bother with them!!!

Vocal Media is a BLOG not a magazine…
Vocal Media is a BLOG not a magazine that pays per story. Before you call it a scam - know the difference. VM is exactly as it says it is - an opportunity to write. Writers like blogs for various reasons. Vocal consists yes, of amateurs, newer writers, experienced ones, journalists, novelists etc. We work our a** off because we love writing. The idea is to drive readers to our published work and our other platforms. Get it? I have worked as a contract writer to Vocal for over a year and yes I have gotten paid. It's peanuts but they do pay. So stop listening to the whiners out there who think their top notch quality writing that no one is reading is better. Vocal writers are also readers. It's called support.

Great platform if you use it as intended!
I have really enjoyed using the Vocal platform. I have not had the time to be as consistent as I would like with my writing, but I have definitely seen an improvement in my work with the limited time I have. Connecting with some truly great (and seasoned) members of the Vocal community has definitely helped my journey. I love reading, so the encouragement to interact with others and their work is a great feature that I've enjoyed! I was actually surprised by the bonuses when I started receiving them. I'm certainly not getting rich, but I would be lying if I said the income wasn't helpful at times.
Many of the negative reviews I'm seeing here appear to be from people who are angry that they didn't win a contest. To them I would say that they are missing the point of the platform entirely, particularly when they are disparaging the work of others. One of the things I love most about Vocal is that elitism isn't encouraged there. I love seeing pieces from hobbyists and novice writers. I love to watch their growth while I, myself, am learning from members of the community. If you are a serious writer or just love the craft, I would definitely encourage you to look into Vocal. If you are just looking to win contests and look down on others, I would say to look for a different platform.

I am pleased with Vocal
My review will be short and direct. First off I am not an employee of Vocal Media nor am I getting paid to write this review. I am just an everyday person that publishes my stories/articles with Vocal Media.
Vocal is not a scam. It is a legitimate licensed business.
You do not have to have a paid Vocal+ account to publish your stories with Vocal. You can have your stories published even with the free account.
I do have the paid Vocal+ account. My first year as a Vocal+ member was paid for a by vocal because I participated in an interview that they were conducting therefore they gave me one year free membership. I have paid for my second year which is $100 for the year which is less than $10 a month.
Between the money I get for reads and the bonuses that vocal gives me for top stories and the tips that I receive from my readers I make between $100 to $150 each month. Therefore I am making a whole lot more than the cost of the membership.
I have never won one of their contests which usually the prize for winning something like $5,000 up to $10,000 and more. As I say I have never won one of these contests. Which is okay. Because I do read some of the stories that are winners and they are definitely deserving. Therefore one day if one of my stories is deserving and wins I will be grateful for that. I guess in order to win one of these contests I will have to sharpen up my skills.
I will end here by saying that Vocal is not a scam and I am very pleased with their business model. Yes they do have a few kinks that they need to be worked out but overall I am very pleased with them.

Let’s be realistic…
Vocal Media is a site where you can write articles, short stories and poetry and post them for others to read. It gives you a very easy platform from which to post. Owning your own website costs around $20 a month if you go through website design sites.
So yes, you pay $10 a month for a platform where you can post and share your own writings…just as you would pay a website developer.
I do not work at Vocal. I do not personally know anyone at Vocal. How they judge is a lot more open now. They are now providing information about the judges and they give bios about them.
I’m sorry that people are angry about not winning contests. Personally, I don’t think it’s about how technically well-written they are and how strictly the story followed the rules. They judge what they feel keeps them interested and invested in the story. All forms of art are judged differently, we are only human. Some people like broccoli…some don’t.
The eye of the beholder.
What one person loves, another will hate.
It’s how the human brain works and Vocal is not a machine.
There is no scam.
And to update these reviews: you can now subscribe, comment, react, etc to people’s stories. They have listened to their consumers and are constantly trying to improve.
And yes, you do have to promote yourself..JUST like every other writer, artist, musician, etc that has to promote their work. If you have your own webpage, you have to promote that too.
It’s not Vocal’s responsibility to do the work for you. Promoting costs money and time either way.
I may never win a challenge, no matter how badly I need the money. But, I do not fault Vocal for doing the best they can do while they are still a small company.
So what if some winners misspelled words, I thought the winners had captivating stories. To me? That’s all that matters.
They have to grow their business. There’s no ads, so they do what they can to get money coming in. And if paying $10 a month for your own writing platform irks you, then I hope you know someone who can build a website for you from scratch for free.
Yes, some winners only wrote one story and won…and? Whoever judged it felt it was good enough to win. I am a Visual Artist, I’m very familiar with people having drastically different opinions. There are people who dislike Monet’s work, but does that make him a bad artist? Of course not.
There are too many complaints from people who don’t understand that Vocal is a growing company that will make mistakes…but they are certainly trying.
And I don’t know why people are complaining about customer service. They have answered every one of my emails. Also, there’s no secret left-wing agenda, they prefer their material to be politically and religiously neutral as it’s a platform for everyone to enjoy. Not letting in articles/stories with strong alienating opinions that might be harmful to their brand makes absolute sense. In fact, I commend them for remaining so neutral. It’s a safe space for everyone.
So please, let them grow and learn.
If not, feel free to start your own writing platform…..
