However, if I was casting via a web site and didn't see the photo of the person, it would give me pause. Make me think that the site is 'incomplete' with no photo. It might make me skip over it without checking the voice demo. A photo does 'humanize the person' as Patrick's client said.
With gratitude,

Some VO talent do have their pictures on their web site for various reasons. Its a personal thing. Some do On-Camera work or are involved in other facets of this business or another. I asked one of my clients what she preferred, picture or no picture and she suggested a picture because she says it "humanizes the person, it puts a face to a name". Did I listen to her? No, I want the focus on my voice, not on how I look. Again, just my personal opinion. Ask yourself what you hope to gain by doing it. Just my 2 cents!
It's weird how it all seems to pile up at the same time!
Little by little there seems to be more work coming over from Europe. It seems that a few more companies from South America are reaching out to American English. For some reason, a number of government agencies are also doing some projects right now that require voice work. Mostly language work, I think. And I've noticed a number of companies redoing their IVR. I guess that's all a good sign.
Typically things slow down about this time of the year for a few weeks, so don't panic if the phone's not ringing. There's still work out there, but expect some down time. It's a good time for a vacation!
How are you gearing up your marketing strategy for the end of summer? That's a good time to launch a push as clients start producing for the last quarter.
I'll be launching a new website this summer. So that will be supported with some press releases and email blasts. And I'm actually going to experiment with some print ads in some key publications. I'll let you know how that goes.
What are you up to?

Your site looks very, very sharp and classy. I will work on getting mine up by the end of June.
