Bailey,

Didja see the testy back 'n' forth between the contest promoter and some other members of the Yahoo VO forum? (uh, I mean in-between the endless posts about the so-called "Voice Nazi"?).

Personally, I'm not sure what to make of it...but I gotta admit it HAS brought up the level of awareness for his site.

I look forward to checking it out in depth later, whilst at the other computer. Just wanted to make an OT remark: Deirdre, you get up early! I see your post of this morning is before 5:00 a.m. ... unless I'm reading the GMT wrong...! While the SO has been out of town, I've been rising earlier and earlier--suddenly new-found time in the day!!

As one of the testy ones (testees?) regarding the VO "contest", if you study the guy's website he's all about teaching voiceover and I believe his "contest" is all about lead generation for himself. His "contest" is a big commercial for his services.

Having listened to his own voice work, I also have an opinion on his worthiness as a teacher.

Was it just me who lost the will to live half way down the page of his web site?

Frankly, I didn't even get to the halfway mark. Ugh.

You know what? I just went there to the contest site. What the hell....I'm gonna enter! I meet the entry requirements....and basically I fall into the just getting started category, so.....why not? The worst that can happen is, I'll get eliminated right off the bat and have my tender ego crushed, but hey....I'm determined and I'm a survivor! hahahahaha......vote for me if you feel so inclined and the opportunity permits! Laugh

Well...there certainly are a lot of words. Philip, do you think "Bob" might be interested in the contest?
