tisk tisk, Jacob .. you posted an un-civil sounding topic? as RoboCop would say, "bad language makes for bad feelings" ..
no daimkakors for you...

i can understand the V's Savvy change from a very strict biz management POV to maintain an image.. i prefer a more democratic co-operative atmosphere w/out being managed by a boss or owner w/ manipulative language and threats of being canceled if you get mouthy.

but, as Joe once pointed out , the V talent are product, the seekers are the clients, if the clients aren't pleased and served well there won't be many paying gigs for the talents... thus the clients are served while the talent is managed.

have to agree Diane, the V never gave anyone a heads up before changes et al were made and that was responsible for the ensuing chaos which was met by V management fawning persecution from people they accused of hating them.

i'll follow along the new Savvy topics created by management and their zampolit as the talents are kept neatly in line by management.. not that i mind being focused on developing and improving my craft and its business but, i'm not a voice "resource" confined to a booth like a coin-op arcade machine. i like to interact as a person too.. that interaction can be robust and spontaneous , and can't be demanded upon to keep to a pre-edited/approved script..

Be Well
