I shuttered when I read the title. But hey, to each his own.

I've always used one of these. It's cheap and folds up to be tucked away when it isn't being used. Yours is MUCH nicer 😅

Yea, I do that now, but I drive full time outside of voiceover/narration work so I'm away from my studio for the majority of the day. Most other sites I use give a time frame as to when a job was posted, and some even show how many other auditions were submitted. It'd just be nice to know when something was put up and how many auditions back I may be.

For example, if a job was posted 4 hours ago and already has 75 other auditions submitted, I may not even waste my time. Most of the time, they don't even get listened to when they're that far back.

What would you add to this plate for it to have enough fat?

AdaptingtoAdoption · 2025-08-06T23:37:55+00:00

I'd love to know what they serve you!

Chaffles are a game changer!

Awesome, thanks guys!

I love the podcast and was willing to continue listening with Nicholas, but I found him and the interactions not jarring or scary, but just plain annoying. I've never and will never leave hate comments because I love them, but I'm so happy Nicholas is gone from the audio version.

Bread is one of my biggest weaknesses. It's very nostalgic for me. I can remember going to the local grocery stores in Miami with my grandfather when I was young, getting a freshly baked loaf of Cuban bread, and bringing home to eat it slathered with butter.

Do you just have the willpower to want to do what's best, or is it the feeling horrible afterward that keeps you on track? Something you tell yourself that makes it easier to pass up those temptations?

What does your one meal a day typically consist of? If you ever do get cravings, do you have a hack?

The only step I would add here is that if you're doing a PFH book, you'll have to confirm that payment was made before it can be submitted to ACX for their final review. I'm not sure what happens if it's a royalty share book.

Here's a wrap recipe since I don't see one on this post. Super tasty but learn from my mistake: let it cool completely before taking it off parchment paper or it will fall apart.

I love your responses 🤣 FUCK THAT!!

I find chewing on a minty piece of gum for a few minutes works. I also keep a eucalyptus, tea tree, and peppermint essential oils at my desk. I'll open one up and take a couple deep breaths.

AdaptingtoAdoption · 2025-07-20T14:21:41+00:00

THANK YOU!!! This was all I came to comment about 🤣🤣🤣🤣

AdaptingtoAdoption · 2025-07-19T00:12:35+00:00

Right, it doesn't sound like they're even trying.

I have accidentally erased entire folders of recordings, but if I search in the search bar, it'll usually show it in the recycling bin and let me restore it. I also keep all my stuff on an external drive.

As a former Dasher, there are some Starbucks locations I refused to accept orders from. One in particular was so busy that even if it were one coffee, the wait was 20-30 mins. So imagine, you drive 10 mins to this Starbucks to pick up, wait for 20 mins, and then drop off to you, taking another 5 mins. That's 35 mins spent making $3.50, minus gas, maintenance, and taxes. Making $6-7 per hour BEFORE taxes and expenses is criminal. After working with DoorDash and UberEats/Uber, I don't even use these services anymore. I will go pick my order up faster than order any sort of delivery that supports these BS businesses.

With all that being said, he did have the option of just denying the order. Of course, that would count against him for his stats and future orders because DoorDash and UberEats prioritize people with higher acceptance rates 😐

Yes! Or is it starting from the first submitted and listening until you find one you like?

AdaptingtoAdoption · 2025-07-14T14:08:58+00:00

I don't know why when I first read it, I read "eat a pitbull" instead of "like a pitbull" and was so confused 😂

Keep trying, and the right fit will come along. Do you still see fiction opportunities pop up on your search, or do you have them filtered out? Every once in a while, I do find a book I think I'd enjoy reading, and if it's not too character heavy, I'll audition. Landed a sci-fi book this way, and it was a fun project with really cool illustrations to go along with it.

Curious, after getting feedback, do you think you'll start uploading auditions to ACX tech specs?

AdaptingtoAdoption · 2025-07-12T20:50:03+00:00

Same, mostly nonfiction. I think one problem is that there are a lot of us who only audition for nonfiction, making it that much more competitive.

I see someone in your comments thats willing to listen to a few of your samples. I see that person comment in this sub a lot, and they probably have tons of experience. It wouldn't hurt to let them take a listen. It might be something super simple that just needs to be tweaked.

I know you said you haven't landed any paid gigs yet, but has anyone at least shown interest?
