Anyone care to relate their experience, if any, working with the Planet Charley production house?
Many thanks,

One word: don't. It's a long saga.

heh, there was a big to-do about this earlier. I sent my reel for an audition and they came back and said they weren't interested in me for this spot, but they would like to "represent" me. and all I had to do was sign the forms at a certain web location.
Actually READING the docs, they demanded to know any time you weren't in the studio, a several hour turnaround time, and unlimited pickups if the client didn't "like" the way you read something.
And they pay $10 per reading. What a gig!

| Should I feel insulted that I didn't even get a $10 a spot offer from these guys? |

No, I was insulted that that's all they thought I was worth. Apparently the KNEW you were worth more!

Same here... I sent them my demo yesterday as well in reply to the job posting that was here yesterday. I sent them my "thanks but no thanks note" this evening.

I'm tempted to be far less diplomatic. Bad people make me angry.

"Leads" are posted here either personally by members or are reposted from elsewhere when they look interesting. I don't expect all repostings of job possibilities to be vetted because I know the good nature of the people who take the time to post them here.
In the case of a re-posted talent-seeker being less-than-reasonable with their budget, I appreciate your restraint when the job comes from here.

| It's a best practice anyway I think. Even if they are low from a budget perspective it is best to put on a happy and professional face so no bridges are burned. Who knows when your paths with cross again and a bad impression could haunt you down the line. |

Agreed. And I wasn't rude to him, no matter how much I wanted to be. Because as my good buddy Bob Souer said to me "You're a professional. Act Like it."
