|
|
John Bailey gave me an idea. In the topic "Price Point" he said in his reply:
Quote: | ...it's funny how those with the cheaper rates are the biggest pains-in-the-rear. |
So, I'm thinking we could all contribute to a thread
The Universal Truths of Voiceovers
1. Those with the cheaper rates are the biggest pains-in-the-rear.
2. The other guys mic always sounds better.

Auditions:
Producer: "That was perfect! This records next week -- you're in town, right?"
(cut to clock hands spinning, tumbleweeds blowing by, pages flipping off the calendar, etc.)
AND/OR
You: "Well, that was a waste of time. They hated me . . ."

That was great. Now could you do it again? Only this time sound a little younger, just a bit taller, and add a little more hair....? |
