Tess, I don't have an agent and while it's a hard slog finding the work yourself, at least I'm not competing against 20-30-40 others in the same agency to get the work - it's on my own merits, plus it removes the middle man. It is more paperwork, and I'm about to go Pty Ltd and go into business permanently with my partner - but i'm excited about it all !
Hi Gang! Quite relieved to find a local group - not that I haven't learned heaps from the internationals, but I was hoping to find some resources closer to home... and here you all are. :-)
I am very new to this VO world and would appreciate some info about Aussie coaches and courses (I am based in Canberra), any suggestions most welcome.
Hey fellow Aussies!
I was so excited to find this group.
I just moved here from Melbourne and am quickly realizing that things are different here.
I have embarked on a steep learning curve.
In Australia I got all of my work through my agent and just showed up at the studios when I was told to, did my thing and waited for the money to arrive.
I have never had to set up a studio, record auditions and market myself so vigorously!
I am having fun learning and am excited about the future.
So wonderful to be a part of an Aussie voice over community here.
Thanks!
Wacko :) Nice to see the Aussie flag getting flown.....
Just dropping in to say hi to you guys, and that I'm always keen to source new work - and I don't have an agent ! I run a decent quality home studio too, which I'm constantly upgrading - now only if my landlord would let me build a booth and knock out a wall :)
Howdy fellow Aussie Voice Talents.... I just wanted to let you all know that I am in the process of creating a Voice Talent Directory & Portal for Aussie VO's living and working in Australia. I would love some feedback and suggestions. I would really like to make this site beneficial for both talents and voice seekers. You can check out the site at www.ausvoicetalent.com.au
