New Gigs!
We have two Sound Effects Gigs ready to go to test out the system from our first client, Thalassicus (Audio Catch Profile). Thal's Unofficial Patch and Vanilla Enhancement Mods for Sid Meier’s Civilization 5 are some of the most popular Mods for this award winning PC game, with 100,000's of downloads. And now Thal is looking to get some professional sound effects done to bring his Mods to the next level! Check out the links below for these Gigs. More to come!

The Quick FAQ
I want to set up a media project (Gig). How does this work? Post your media project (what we call a ‘Gig)’ on Audio Catch and within a short period of time musicians and voice talent will create custom auditions for you based on your needs. Simply select the artist that matches your needs and continue working with him or her.
What else goes into setting up my media project (Gig)? When you are creating your Gig, we simply ask you to (1) fill out a simple form to describe your needs, (2) the type of licensing agreement you want, and (3) the amount that you are willing to pay to the winning artist.
I’m a musician or voice over artist. How can I participate on Audio Catch? Simply create your profile on Audio Catch and participate in the Gigs by going to the “Browse Gigs” section on the landing page or to “All Gigs” located at the top of any page to see the available Gigs. Once you’ve found the one you’d like to participate in, simply select “Join Gig.” Create a custom audition and upload it. From there the client hosting the Gig will communicate with you about your audition and you can freely adjust your entry at any time.
What’s this W-8/W-9 form I need to fill out? As a musician or voice over artist, before you participate in your first Gig, you will need to fill out a W-8 / W-9 form depending on if you are from the United States or outside of. The W-8 / W-9 form indicates that you are a contractor that Audio Catch will be paying for services rendered. The form keeps our service legal and ensures that you are performing credible work. Once filled out, you will never have to see these forms again! We will simply send you a 1099 form at the end of the tax year if you have made earnings on Audio Catch for your tax filing purposes.
What are Gig Points? Each Gig requires a certain number of Gig Points to participate in depending on the amount the client is paying out. Hence, Gig Points are your virtual currency to participate in a Gig. And we replenish them every week, so don’t worry about using them!
Why are Gig Points needed? One of the key concerns our clients have is being bombarded with too many auditions. We instituted this method in order to limit the number of auditions each client’s Gig would receive. Of course if you ever use up all of your Gig Points you can simply wait until the following Sunday night (-8 GMT) for them to be replenished. Or if you’re in a rush, you can purchase more through our store (certainly not mandatory).
