Okay, I'll get 'er going. Got a callback on one for Sylvania. It's a biggie, a $1000 job and right now I'm rated a "likely hiring" with the job closed, so who knows? (yes, it's a V123 lead, b'leve it or not) Sure would LOVE to get it, but here's the followup audition I sent.

That Sylvania copy sounds familiar but I can't seem to find my own audition. It must have reached the quota before I got to it. Doesn't matter anyway. There's no way I would have topped Scott's read.

Scott: Great read on the Sylvania spot! I wanted to submit for that one, but this week was horrible in terms of finding time to audition. Here's hoping you get it!
Lee: Remember, it's not about topping anyone else's read. It's about topping your own.
Thom: Love your approach on the Bathfitter spot!
On a related note, I'd love to hear thoughts on Thom's music-bed approach to watermarking an audition. I've heard a few folks do it, and I like that technique over other methods. One of the reasons that I like the music method is that it doesn't scream "I'm a watermarked audition" as much as a clip that includes other background sounds. It also allows the artist to read the script as-written as opposed to changing the copy. I know that a lot of folks recommend copy-changing over watermarking, but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about this specific watermarking method. Have you used it? Would you recommend it for certain types of auditions? If not, why not?
