"Howdy" (that's cowboy talk!) from Calgary Alberta

Thanks for those warm greetings, all.

Indeed, Simon, it is worthwhile sending your demo to Jana at 6-degrees. They are casting far and wide for project-appropriate Talent and your set of unique approaches could be quite valuable.

They are, by the way a very "pro" bunch.

Best... RTR

Thanks, Robert.

In case it ever comes up in court, the last time I was on a horse was back in Ontario. This horse had a chrome pole going through its shoulders; went round&round&round&round; cost my dad a dime and... I blew massive cotton-candy/hot dog chunks!

By the way, Robert, your work is well-known and respected. (I trus' dose guy know how good dey got it, for shure, eh?) Smile

Best... RTR

Likewise thanks, Zellers cowboy.
You've quickly found the surest voiceover money-maker.
I do pay $1 (Canadian) per nice comment about me; payable at the end of the year upon receipt of your bill.
Invoice On!

Good deal, Robert.

Ok...so... For a fat lady, you sure don't sweat much! (Invoice to follow.)

Meanwhile, I am very pleased to be participating through Voice123.

As "The Voice of Sportchek" for 27 years, I had a pretty cushy gig - steady work and outstanding money, particularly as The Forzani Group went National and was penetrating every English-speaking market that could support a retail store. (They own Sports Experts in Quebec, as well, and that was handled by different, bi-lingual Talent.)

However, when Forzani switched agencies and the agency dropped Radio - a very, very expensive and immediate mistake, I was, nevertheless, out on the street.

Imagine my surprise when I found that I was so well-known as "The Voice of Sportchek", that I couldn't get arrested, never mind hired, by other agencies for voice-work.

Since then, the frenzy has died down some and I am picking up some gigs.

Although, it took awhile.

I expect I will be served well by Voice123 because of the much broader reach.

(That's still 2 bucks you owe me.) Smile

Best... RTR
