Otherwise, I think the site is off to a good start (although I am not the website design pro LOL).
Darla, great example! All too often it can happen that way. While I don't do VO myself (I edit VO audio), I was asked to audition for a local spot with a freind of mine. They needed a southern boy and my friend thought I would be close to perfect for them. However, turned out I wasn't southern enough LOL. It just goes to show, you don't have to literally BE what they are looking for, but you do need to sound like they are looking for.
I agree with Patrick though, ask the all important question of what it is you expect to gain by having your picture as part of your marketing scheme.
I took screen shots of my unfinished website to VOICE 2010 and asked the opions of several of the experts. Their responses left me totally torn. The final decision came down to how I felt about the page. The picture that I was using was the same one that you see here. If I could have somehow tinted it with a sepia wash, it would have complemented the page. As it was, however, it looked as though a child had glued it onto the site. The black and white picture did not complement the background at all. I just revised my website and had the picture removed. When I get a better picture, I might consider putting it on.
