Yep, me again. And late getting back here to write up my latest updates from my DigiStudio. I could say that I’ve been so busy with clients standing in line for my services, but that would be an exaggeration. I’m doing fine, but have had some slow days that don’t reflect much vocal output that I’d prefer to be producing.
As far as auditioning – this is the perfect time to practice – practice – practice! Never hurts. Only makes you better and increases your odds of getting those elusive gigs. All of the audition requests I get from my main agents are done as soon as possible. Sometimes late, but always done. I do pick & choose what auditions I do from any P2P sites. (i.e., Voices.com) Here is just a quick sample of the calibur of auditons I’m proud to say I’ve had the privilage to go for from my people: Land Rover… Chevy… ESPN Radio… eLanco… Comcast… Procter & Gamble… Verizon… B&H Photo… DC Lottery… Subway… Farmville… Elmers Glue All… Lilly… Food Lion… The North Face… Busch Gardens… Avon… Nexas… Hershey’s… Cutter Bug Spray… Budweiser… Florida Lottery… Iron Man… Thor… Wendy’s… Sade… Captain Morgan… Mediacom… 1-800-FLOWERS… U.S. Bank… Fisher-Price… HH Gregg… Ohio Lottery… BASF… Dow Chemical… Meijer… Best Buy… US Cellular… and hundreds more…
You’ll notice that there are some pretty big names listed above. Yes, my agents DO get some real great gigs and quite frankly, I did get about 10 of those. Sweeeeet! One of the funny things about these big clients, many of these are showing up on Voices.com too. Meaning, they are trolling the waters of the non-union “anyone” professional/novice pools too. Kind of makes you wonder WHY are they looking there too? Many budgets have been cut and the agents and clients are not leaving any stones unturned to find talent today. Whether you agree or disagree with their tactics is not in question. It’s just something that our economy has caused that never would have been heard of in years past.
As always – please feel free to share your comments and opinions. Do you see this trend in your arena?
