Connie,
My post was merely in response to Mr. Morss suggesting that what I say be disregarded. Perhaps you missed his post a few above yours. Say what you will about me, but I have never been so brazen as to say to disregard anyone, only that a person should understand that with anything as emotionally charged as voiceover, it's quite easy to lose perspective. I have noticed many former "cheerleaders" on here who no longer are around. In fact, some of their v.o. websites are gone and I can only assume that clearer heads prevailed. I can only hope that their experiences justified whatever suffering may have gone along with whatever they risked to pursue their dream. I notice on another forum that when somebody doesn't post anymore, the assumption is that they're so busy doing v.o. they don't have time to post. Does that really make sense. Isn't it far more likely that they've given up. And THERE is absolutely nothing wrong with that. As I mentioned, everybody has their bottom.
When someone who has been in the industry for 20+ years, sits on advisory boards to game developers and ad clubs and schools and who also hires talent, directs and produces, stops to offer some opinion, even if it's not the "popular opinion", should he not be a little upset when someone with virtually no expereince, involvement in the industry and no real point says to "disregard him".
Maybe it would ring truer if someone who had to claim bankruptcy because they didn't know when to throw in the towel came along and chimed up.
So, I'll just make the popular choice and leave you all to learn and grow from Mr. Morss.
