No wonder my career is flagging, I have not grasped the subtleties of Voice Over Inflected Delivery so evident on so many demos.
But I am trying my best to get it and when I do that's when the big bucks flood in.

I'm sending it to an LA Agent .......Woot ....... Awesome!!
The producer of the Fund raiser commercial from which I Voided an extract liked my orginal read, which was dull, voidless and un-great pipes, the man is a bloody philistine!

Dang! Now I get it. I thought it was "Voice Over Infected Delivery" and I didn't want to catch anything.

Philip, When I first saw the word "Void" I thought you were going to give us some information about one of your recent ailments. |

OH NO, Lance, please don't! Can't we have both? There are so many days in the year that don't have anything but a date...
In a session yesterday my client actually said, "Mandy, stop that. Since when do you pause so much while you're reading? That sounds horrible." Too many news-type reads lately, I guess, and I lost my mind. _________________ 006 member of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Mic. Bonded by sound.
