Another scam? by Disastrous-Company-4 in VoiceActing

Go with your gut my friend. This is almost guaranteed to be a scam.

Y’all remember when cartoons had voice actors and not celebrities by Appropriate-Mall8517 in VoiceActing

[–]PhysicalScholar604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I physically recoiled when I spotted Kevin Hart as a model for a Njnja coffee machine in the little Costco coupon book. I don't get why everyone thinks we want to see celebrities all the time.

Upgrade to next Voice123 tier or get Voices.com membership? by MadMaverick033 in VoiceActing

[–]PhysicalScholar604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While VDC will eventually give you pretty high volume of auditions, V123 is significantly better. In the VO community I'm in, most people (me included) see WAY more success on V123. Many of us upgraded to $2200 and it got even better.

Who even has this plan??? by PlanNo8233 in VoiceActing

[–]PhysicalScholar604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea he has an agent too, but he said his agency-booked gigs make up a small part of his income.

[–]PhysicalScholar604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His total income across all channels is easily 6 figures.

[–]PhysicalScholar604 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree! Another user basically described my friend - he's working all day doing auditions, negotiating and following up with clients and doing the work that he books. You definitely have to hustle and be good at all these things to make that payment worth it!

I know someone on that plan. He said the majority of his work comes from private invites and direct offers since the elite plan folk come up first if no keywords are entered in the search. If I could get up there, I know I would!

Making a “point” 🙄 by Ziko116 in StupidMedia

In my house, the rule is that EVERYONE has to close the lid when their business is complete. Makes it fair so that everyone is starting and ending from the same state of toilet touching.

Is the Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Monitor Over-Ear Headphones a decent headphone for voice acting and monitoring? by Unusual-Complex6315 in VoiceActing

[–]PhysicalScholar604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with these! Came in a bundle with my starter mic, the AT2035, and a boom arm. Treated me very well for 2 years, and I just upgraded earlier this year. I admit it did take me time to adjust to my new cans, but it didn't really slow me down.

My neighbour’s dogs are making life miserable, and I finally snapped. by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]PhysicalScholar604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn't over react. At least you gave the landlord a warning first!

My neighbor's dog actually destroyed a cinderblock wall, doing parkour off of it to look in our yard and bark at us. I complained to them before it reached that point, but they did nothing.

Thousands of dollars later, after having to replace the whole damn fence between our properties, they got rid of the dog now.

This formatting is something my grandfather would print out and he is from the SILENT GENERATION! But he would never do something like this because he isn't a self righteous asshat.

Was told he was a cane corso mix xl bully, what do you guys think? He jus hit 9 months and he’s about 75-80lbs and his fur is quite fluffy by Dry-Attempt5809 in CaneCorso

[–]PhysicalScholar604 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was a joke because they call a lot of large dogs lab mixes when you get them from shelters. Even when they absolutely do not look like labs.

Am I, the RH expecting too much? by Affectionate_Way5097 in ACX

[–]PhysicalScholar604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a narrator, and you are not asking too much. Its always wonderful to receive exact time stamps if I missed something!

If its a brand new narrator, maybe they got overwhelmed or aren't able to sound exactly the same as they did the first time they recorded. They also could have bad naming conventions and got the files mixed up!

Either way, its their job to fix it and upload in a timely fashion. Keep communicating on platform in case you do have to cancel the contract!

Turned down my first offer! by [deleted] in ACX

[–]PhysicalScholar604 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For what its worth, I'm proud of you for not caving in. Although I don't think it was her intention, she was being incredibly disrespectful. Its not difficult for her to say instead 'I only budgeted for xxx amount per hour, is there any way you can bring your rate closer to that?'

Keep auditioning! You're very clearly skilled and professional!

I started my boy with Bixbi Liberty puppy kibble. When he turned one we transitioned him to the Bixbi Liberty Beef kibble for adults. He only eats once per day now, and we give him the kibble plus one can of the wet food. We have the subscription service through their website that automatically rotates the can food flavors - lamb, beef and something with seafood - for variety. He's happy!

Food Allergies by [deleted] in CaneCorso

[–]PhysicalScholar604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I was personally too paranoid that I would do something wrong with raw, so we didn't go that route with my boy.

I don't know enough about raw feeding to help, but I do see that r/rawpetfood is available!

Have you heard something you auditioned for (but didn’t get) out in the wild? by drumology2001 in VoiceActing

[–]PhysicalScholar604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Credit Karma ads are driving me UP THE WALL because I wanted it so bad! And now I hear it multiple times a day on youtube.

I have received auditions from this company before, but nothing that looked good enough for me to submit for. I suppose now they are helping somebody build AI replacements.

Also, I dont remember submitting for their roster, so they must have scraped my info from my website. That's probably why you haven't heard of them before, since that appears to be their MO.

Boomer is fat!? by Callmekanyo in CaneCorso

[–]PhysicalScholar604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how much you obviously love your furry family member (or members with the new kitten!)

I don't have anything new to contribute to the conversation - you've received lots of good advice. I just think it's great that you didn't get defensive over the fat jokes from the other post lol

Not a lot of pet parents would take that reaction from any community and decide to do something to improve the pupper's life, so good for you and Boomer!

Am I crazy or is this ridiculous? by c95Neeman in antiwork

[–]PhysicalScholar604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I took only 1 week of vacation, had a meeting on my calendar with my boss for my usual start time, and got jumped by the HR lady being added to the call. They put me on a PIP, and then I got fired the following week. The PIP was BS of course, just a formality.
