Wall-to-wall spots or wall-to-wall AUDITIONS?


Spots. I rarely do any auditions through websites. I prefer to spend my time marketing my business other ways. I get a better ROI. But that's just the way I choose to do it.

I wouldn't dream of doing anything else. Cool

Randall, if the only thing keeping you from auditioning is the home studio, then at least by your own estimation, you should have demos. I didn't see any posted on your 123 page. If you don't, I urge you to get somebody you trust to work with you on them.
There are also a ton of agents in the Orlando area. The internet is definitely changing everything and becoming more and more prominent as a place for job seekers and talent alike. I do think you should really look at getting an agent at least in the area you live.

As for my days, no offense to any of you, but if I wanted to wake up at 5:30 I would have stayed a business consultant. I hustle plenty and for many years I was afraid to go on a vacation. I would suggest you not quit the day job and try to transition into voice-over.

Just my opinion and that plus $1.50 gets you a bus ride where I live.
