VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

scottnilsen · Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:18 am Post subject: sometimes encouraging things...

...come at very appropriate times.

A production company in Nashville I had sent my demo to in April just called me to tell me I was in the running for a project (which I don't know anything about yet). They were just calling to let me know if: 1) I'm still in the voiceover business (I am), and 2) if I still had my own ISDN setup (I don't - I still have the unit, but had the lines disconnnected until they proved cost-effective). I gave them the name of a studio nearby that has ISDN.

Things have been very much on the slow side of late, so to even get a call for a "maybe" felt like a shot in the arm. Second wind!

Okay, more like a fourteenth wind, but still...

Good for you, Scott! Hope it works out for you.

This one part struck me, though... A very telling question if they ask it only 8 months after your submission:

you mean that there is a high turnover, and they might want to weed out those not in it for the long haul?

Or is it something (cue movie trailer voice)...more sinister?

Make mine apple also. I'd like mine warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Thanks,

PS It's about two mintues to midnight. It'll be the 20th and I'm going to wish Bob Happy Birthday. Sssh, don't tell him.

Stefania,

Thank you! It is indeed and I must say, it's amazing what you can make an emoticon do! Oh, and both vanilla ice cream and whipped cream on my apple turnover, please.
