"Patrick/Johnny -

In the non-union voice over world, the rates really are all over the board. With the proliferation of home studios, the once artisan craft of voice overs (which indeed commanded a certain monetary value), is becoming more and more…"

"Roger -

If possible, see if you can research and contact any of the other talent directly that the agency represents to get some scoop that way."

"Mike -

I've heard of instances like this before, but I agree it doesn't make much sense. When I send out auditions, I do it with the intention of winning the gig, so all talent that we may recommend should have the ability to to be right for the…"

"Hey Roger -

Can't say I know any agents in Kentucky. A lot of the answers to the other questions should be within the various threads posted for this group. If you haven't already done so, check them out, and if you still can't find the specific…"

"Frank -

It's always good to be versatile, but I firmly believe it's tough to please everybody all the time. For the talent my company represents, we prefer specialists and "one-trick ponies" versus "utility infielders."

When you meet with an…"

"Hi Allison -

Categorized demos are fine, but I would lead off with a short compilation containing your best bits of each.

Regarding how to send out your demos: everyone has their preference. I can only tell you that I rarely get a CD anymore. What…"

"Hey Frank -

Unless you have an exclusive contract with an agent, there's nothing wrong with joining an on-line casting service (or two, or three, etc). I know plenty of talent that wear both hats like that. The one thing you should do your best to…"

"Amaly -

ISDN will always be there, but there's plenty of work to get sending out audio primarily on the internet. If you can't access ISDN or if the upfront investment to install it is too steep, don't sweat it.

Good luck!"

"Vincent:
Most agents will not be willing to even have a discussion with you if they don't like your demo, so start by making sure your demo is as polished as possible. From there, send it to as many agents as you can. Send CD's, email mp3's, post it…"

"Hi Norm -

Geography should have little to do with you scoring representation. If an agent thinks your voice is marketable, as long as you can send an mp3 or have access to an ISDN line, you should be fine. Don't allow that to be an obstacle. We…"

"Lowell -

I would say the first company that contacted you should get your audition. Even though the internet site (which I'll bet is voice123) gives you feedback, chances are they have dozens of folks auditioning for the same spot. The brick and…"

"Jason -

I would send the talent you are interested in a short message through this site that says something as simple as "Are you looking to get some more biz?" or "I'm a producer and I'd like to work with your voice." See if either of those…"

  • Hey Corey! I actually e-mailed my demos to ProMedia a few weeks back! I'm local to Philly, and recently did a spot for Ponzio's Diner with Larry at 2nd Street Productions. I'd love to keep in touch with you. :)
  • Corey,
    I would be honored if you would take a listen to my demo and give me your feedback. Although I have alot of years in the Radio biz and have voiced a ton of commercials, I feel like I'm brand new in this VO biz.

  • Thanks Corey. As you can see, I don't get to visit the site all that often. Let's stay in touch! Peace! -- Scott Carr
  • Hey Corey,

    How's it going to you?

    Hope you are doing well!

  • Hi Corey.

    I checked out your website at promedialabs.com. I like the Obama impersonator clip. Let me know if you need other celebrity character voices. I do over 60 that include actors, broadcasters and US Presidents.

  • Corey,
    Thanks for your vote of confidence and advice. I try to market myself....but I dont always know how to reach the right people. It's not like I live next door to the guy who owns the cartoon network.....Do you have him speed dial? (lol)

  • Hello Corey,

    It was great having you in class yesterday talking about your company and the industry. I look forward to running into you again in the future. I'm still working with CeCe McGhee to create my VO Demo, and I'll be sure to send you a copy so you can tell me what you think.

    Thanks again.
