Roger,

I'm with you man. It can be a bit frustrating at times, but that is all part of the journey. Bob Bergen has posted a few times that it took him something like 4 year to land anything significant and look where he is at today. Persistence is the name of the game when it comes to VO. But in all fairness, how much time do you spend marketing yourself? Is Voice.com the only site you are listed on? Maybe you should try another online option of seek work locally to see if you have better luck. This is an area that I am lacking in as well and I am working to correct that.

One thing I would highly suggest you look into is Connie Terwilliger’s offering of "The Art and Science of Self-Evaluation" under “Buy Sell Swap”. I had the pleasure of listing to her presentation from the VOIC E2007 DVD and this was a big eye opener for me. I have a feeling you would benefit from what she has to say as well.

Good Luck and keep at it.
