Voice Over 123 - Careful What You Ask For

I have a doctor friend in Baltimore who is enamored with the voice over business. He appreciates a great sounding voice for some reason or another. He told me a story about a guy he plays cards with who also happens to have a great voice.

This "other guy" is sitting high up the ladder at a major government institution. A few weeks back, while playing cards on their usual night he told the guys about a web site he had discovered that will feature your talents, and "find you work" in the voice over business. He was encouraged-no pressured by his mates to put up a demo tape and see what would happen.

It was only days before receiving an email from someone looking for "mature male talent". There was a partial script attached for him to read for the audition. To make a long story short, he got the job. And when the complete script arrived he discovered that he was reading for a male erectile dysfunction product. Other wise known now in the trade as "ED".

The rate for the job was $50.00.
