Here’s something that’s really been bugging me for along time and we’ll use Voices.com as an example.
I’m sure that you’ve been frustrated at this as I have. You take the time to do an audition, sometimes it’s quick and other times it takes quite awhile. You send it in and you wait. While you wait you go on to another audition and send that one in. At least you’ve taken time out of your life to do so.
Ever since I can remember I’ve been taught to say “thank you”, maybe it’s just the Canadian in me, but if someone does something for you no matter how small or even if they asked you to it...you say “Thank You”.
So what’s with the clients on Voices.com not even mentioning that they’ve heard your demo, or saying thank you or even a note saying “You Sucked!! Voices.com has assured me that there is a method for clients to do so. My guess it’s at the bottom of a page somewhere in very tiny print. Out of the hundreds of auditions I’ve done, I’ve received 1 thank you. The other thing is that I’m starting to think that the clients that use these services are really self centred assholes. All I can say now is “Thank You” for reading my little tirade.
