Quite the fabbiest thing I've heard in a long time. The imaging demo is what it is and the commercial demo has poor quality copy but I can't imagine anyone will care that much. Smart producers will hear your quality and potential to deliver in a session if you read from a paint colour chart.

Raise your game, you really are worth so much more than you probably imagine.

I wish you all the success in the world.

Hopefully, not sounding too ignorant...but is Fabbiest a good thing?

on a side note:

I appreciate your response. Thank you!

Fabby=fabulous and fabbiest is high praise...especially from Philip!

...and I agree. Really terrific voice you've got there Brook! Smile

Seriously...the Andy's Towing was unbelievable. I haven't heard such pedestrian (unfabby) copy sound so much fun.

I hope my car breaks down next time I'm in St. Cloud! Whoo-hoo!

Of course training and discipline is crucial...but sometimes having personality and wit is the most important thing. You can't teach what you have.

Funny thing is I lost the campaign to a girl at one of our company's sister stations since my voice is already used in this market.

I was pretty bummed. but hey there's always next time.

Nice work on the imaging piece, Brook. At one point I was tempted to comment on how often I heard other voices but in the entire context it works well. You kept the light shining brightly on your talent.

While I like the read you did with the drab copy, I have to ask why your commercial demo would only have one spot? Just haven't had a chance to get one done? Sorry, just curious. Good read nonetheless, because as Lance pointed out, your personality breaks through the copy.
