There are also various coaches and audio folks out there who offer feedback or audition assistance (sometimes for a fee of course) and just some voiceover folk who will be happy to have a listen before you send something out. I am sure others in this group would be there to help and also might have some names of those who offer this service.
One of the things which surprised me at VOICE what how self-deprecating some folks were... so what if you're new... start to believe in your ability. Be professional about how you approach everything, and go for it.
One of the things I've loved about interviewing folks for my blog "The People Behind the Voice" has been the revelation that sometimes the well-known artists don't book a job, or they still feel nervous.
and @Darla what are you *** talking about - that session with Nancy will continue to haunt you until you "Just do it!"... all the best :-)
In a way the low pay of some of the gigs makes it less intimidating. For some reason I get more nervous if an audition (or the job) seems 'big'
But its still work and once you do a few of those you will be much more confident.
My dad says to check out Craigs List too, in the GIgs section. There is a site called Search Tempest that lets you search all of Craigs at one time without having to go to each city individually.

P.s
My dad told me to tell you to go for it, he made lots of excuses not to audition, waiting for the next class to go to or the next book he had to read. He said doing auditions and listening to them taught him more than paying for "workshops"
Go get 'em!
I have only been doing vo for about three years, but I think your demos are really good and you are better than you think you are. You have soothing voice and give a warm personality to the subjects you read.
If I waited until I was 'ready' to audition I would still be waiting. I did so many vo and on camera auditions before I got any work, but they helped me get better.
My dad was on V123 for two years and got nothing but a lot of practice auditioning. He got his first job from Odesk.com in a few weeks and its free.
Some of the jobs are ridiculously low paying some pay ok. But my dad says even the low paying jobs are "paid practice" and they give you experience, and client contacts and reel material. Also he used the feed back he got from clients on his site.
I noticed my dad got a lot more confidence after he got his first gig on Odesk. Then more followed. He started using Dan's advise from this forum an called the producers of police training videos (he is retired from law enforcement) and he is working a lot now.
I know I am just a kid so I hope you don't mind me telling you about my experience. I hope that helps

Thanks!
I noticed that Baldago wants payment in Eros, do they have American clients or is it mostly European clients for European voices?
