regular VOSavvy reader, now contributing more often

after a year of pluggin away at leads and gettin just one, and gettin a bad case of terminal uniqueness, seemed a good idea to glance at the forums to see the way things are....
damn.... this is a tuff racket!!! how am i supposed to retire to that beach house in Newark w/ all this competition?? huh?

anyway......

best post i've seen from "The Pros", is that VO involves a constant exercise and improvement in marketing, something lacking in this old small market DJ/announcer/newscaster...

2nd best post is to go beyond the DJ etc deliveries and develop a wider range of VO talent...

for those 2 "Pro" posts i am very grateful...

V123 was the only marketing tool i was using.. its not going to be enough.. which means i got to...... *sigh* .... work ... AW MAN !!!

i'm fortunate to have hooked up w/ a quality recording studio here in the puckerbrush operated by a fella who wants to expand his services from music to VO, including establishing a roster of local talents.. so, the marketing does seem to be never ending...

so, while i patiently persistantly practice my VO devotions, i'll keep at the trade of painting houses and request that you big timers delete the $50 leads so i can get my feet wet.. Wink

oh, one more thing, comments etc are most welcome on my demos posted w/ the other "Idols", and thanks so much for the insights from beginer and pro alike, they have been and will always be invalueable..

Be Well
