Oh, Man, I LOVE this thread!
Right On, Bobby!
Let's see...it's 10:34 ET on a Sunday night and yep...I'm, lookin' to see what's going on!
I am propably a bit more obsessive than some when it comes to being on line (the terms "get a life" and "are you EVER offline" have been used more than once in my regard! ;-) but I really AM truly passionate about this business, and I pretty much always have it on my mind.
Yes, I annoy my husband a bit when I tell him NOT to mute TV spots 'cause I want to hear who's voicing it...."name that voice" is daily game in ths house....I have Google Alerts set to key words....I'm always looking for the next workshop/class....all while caring for my 90 year old wheelchair bound mom...so it's not like I don't have responsibilities...but I TRULY love my job and yes Bobby, I know the answers to most of the questions you asked....not all, but I'm workin' on 'em! ;-)
Actually the questions that you & Connie asked made me feel pretty good about the progress I'm making. Let's be frank. I am NOT making a million bucks as a Voice talent. But I am making - as a friend so aptly puts it - a living wage, that I have concrete plans on increasing as the months & years go by. I am ALWAYS looking ahead at those of you that are further along on the path than I am...I have so much to learn, and I'm loving every minute of it.....I have had wonderful people support me on my
VO journey so far, and I hope to be able to turn around and lend a helping hand to someone coming up the path behind me.
OK...I need to cut back on the caffeine & stop munching on these great chocolates that a wonderful friend from Scotland just sent me ;-)
Peace!
