Hello Dick - welcome to the forum.
If you have a chance, please post an introduction in the Welcome area so we know a bit more about your experience and goals. Sounds like you've been at the biz for a while and have a lot of great info to impart.
I gotta say, you've bested J.S. for the "Harsh Reality" prize. In my opinion, it's still an achievable goal to make a living at
VO. But it's no joy ride, and it takes a lot of hard work and skill (
VO and Business).
Hope to hear more from you - cheers,
Joe J Thomas
