Hey Dan, not a Brit... but living in London and working here as a MVO (in French and in English with a usually OTT accent!) Good luck in your VO pursuit!

Hey Dan, not too shabby ta, hope same for you. Over here in UK I market myself on voicefinder.biz - voicefinder - it's more a UK website than US but I heard on the grapevine they might market and expand in the USA as well in th future... Voice123 might have some competition with them but eh, competition is good and keep all on their tows!
Also I'm lucky enough to be represented by agents - I have few as us foreigners have the privilege of non-exclusivity.
And of course, I also work with direct clients with whom I developed a relationship over the years. All in all that works for me!
As an actor I am on castingcallpro.com - www.castingcallpro.com/pierre-maubouche
If you don't know those websites might be worth you checking them out - good luck!

Thank you very much for that, that's exactly the kind of information I'm looking for that, as for Castingcallpro I've seen that but unfortunately I don't have the 'professional' credits to be able to sign up, 10 years acting doesn't mean a thing if you haven't been paid for any of it hehe. Still as soon as I get a few gigs I'll be there! As for voicefinder I'll be there once I get my mic sorted properly and get my demo completed Smile

Thanks again and see you around!!

You're welcome Dan. You know, here I know a lot of VOs who don't have a home studio and still work quite a lot, so I developing business with only home studio in mind is limiting - you can market yourself for all jobs out there!

Oh don't get me wrong I intend to 'put myself out there' in the local market it's just that I would like to have a reasonable demo first and unfortunately with my non-existent resources (getting married and finding new home in the next couple of months) I can't afford the hundred + pounds to get a demo professionally done. Bit of a catch 22 hehe.

Dan-
I just noticed the humor in the title of your post.

"Hi, my name's I'm Dan and I am a voice actor"

Do you need a 12 step program to help "cure" you?

Hmmm, good point, maybe I should have put 'hi I'm dan and I'm a wanna be voice actor' Laughing
