I've surpassed 300 auditions with voices.com and have yet to land anything. I'm aware I'm relatively new and inexperienced, and because of a day gig I can't submit any auditions until after 7 or 8 in the evening, but if I were given 300 shots at a basketball hoop I hope I could sink at least one. Even from half-court and not even being an athlete.
Sometimes it feels that you're sending the auditions into a big dark void.
I know I'm whining, but it can be discouraging.
I'm well aware that competition in sheer numbers (don't know how many) and level of talent is overwhelming. I often think that 200 folks got their auditions heard and I was the 201st in line. Maybe just rationalization for myself.
The folks at voices.com have been wonderful in helping and in customer service and I've learned a lot through their site...just no work.
I'd love to hear personal experiences from others and also know if this is the proper place to discuss it. Joe, please move this if I'm in the wrong heading or zap it altogether if inappropriate.
Thanx,
-roger
