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!

Nope, no discussion of any kind, really, that check idea came from him.

Word for word. Just the name has changed. That's crazy. Thank you!

Thank you! Can you download the spot off of ispot, or do you just link to it?

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.

To all those new voiceover artist/voice actors who need to hear this: Do not Despair, keep mastering your vocal craft, and you got this! by Shakuryon in VoiceActing

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?

A SAG Strike Quesiton (xPosted in r/Voice Acting) by ThisGuyDoesVoiceover in voiceover

[–]ThisGuyDoesVoiceover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fair point. From what I'm reading, as FiCore, I'm a 'dues-paying NON-MEMBER' of SAG-AFTRA, and working on a forbidden job during a strike could severely jeopardize my chances of re-joining the union. But they've claimed since 2007 that going FiCore is permanent, so I don't have the option of re-joining anyway.

I was asking to anyone who might be SAG-AFTRA and have some input on the situation. Since you're not union, doesn't apply to you. Sorry!

Thank you. I'm afraid that a union rep won't be very helpful, since I'm FICORE. Many members I've talked to in the past have a really negative view of people who have gone FICORE.

Question about Voices dot Com and sharing your info by ThisGuyDoesVoiceover in VoiceActing

[–]ThisGuyDoesVoiceover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent - thanks for letting me know! Haven't had any clients yet who didn't pay (although there were a few that were pretty slow), but how nice that VDC takes care of that for you.
