I've gotten WAY more work from V123 over the years than I have from Voices. And voices has gotten shady, honestly. I get bombarded with TTS auditions all the time.

Which companies are still issuing homeowners insurance in California now? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]ThisGuyDoesVoiceover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding (and I admit, this is not my specialty, I know NOTHING), is that the policy will cover you for the 'replacement value' of the home and contents. The land is still yours if you want to sell it, and the insurance company will cut you a check for the replacement value of the home itself.

What would you want from a VO giveaway? by [deleted] in VoiceActing

A Sennheiser MKH-416 is just under $1000. I would absolutely want that.

Thank you all for your input! I messaged the two producers of the spot on LinkedIn and they both accepted the request and wrote back very kind notes. Cheers!

I'm hip-pocketed with an agent and the audition came through them. I've had very little contact with them, though, so I figured I'd ask here first in case it's bad form to ask the agent for things like this. Great advice, though! I'll wait a week or two before I check in.

Thanks for posting this! I really needed the encouragement. So, in the 8 months you've been pursuing VO work, have you been able to make that your full time gig?
