THIS CLOSE!

UGH!  I was “THIS CLOSE” to getting a really huge break. I was a finalist for a voice over gig after 5 call backs…yeah, 5!

The competiton (as it were) started with me and 97 other hopeful voice over talent, then down to 20 then down to 10 then down to 5, 3, then me and one other person and sadly (for me) the other person got the gig.  I suppose it is nice to be considered that strongly when you knwo so many other talented people are going after the same prize but ya know,  I didn’t get it and I wanted it.

A lot of folks would say being second place just means you are the first loser and I suppose that is true if when you finish a race such as this you don’t gain anything from it.  Me, I got a lot of good out of the situation.

1. I got a lot of experience taking A LOT of direction from a client on the other side of the globe.
2. I got exposure to a huge production company that has dozens of programs on tv worldwide and they are always developing more.
3. I made contacts. Really good contacts for potential work in the future.
4. I got a boost to my confidence that lets me know I am not only good enough for the local market but also the national and international markets.
5. My voice was called “familiar without being common”.
6. I was told that my “sense of humor and natural ad-lib abilities were a real selling point” for my talent.
7. I was told that it was “OBVIOUS” that I am a “reader, actor, observer who is eager to listen” because of the way I “interpreted scripts and then adjusted my delivery with direction.”

So why haven’t you hired me or given me a shot?

Want a demo?  No worries, send me your script and I will knock that bad boy out ASAP and you can take it too the bank that I will bust my butt to give you the read you want.
