NIce, Lee, that you got a client out of that!

I wouldn't have hired someone who only charged $150 because I'd assume that he wouldn't know what he's doing. I don;'t mean technologically, but I mean in copy selection, directing you in the studio, assemblilng an industry acceptible product.

I'm glad you were happy with result!

Michael,
I think you need to have SOMETHING of a demo... even a newbie demo... before you expect any work. But definitely put something on voices.com... and bid low to get experience. In my opinion, the bottom feeder jobs are for people who need to get experience, and those who are desperate... so I always encourage seasoned talent to bid well... and leave low budget jobs for new talent. That way they can get paid experience without having to compete against those who have been doing this for years!
