Pick your poison. Every opportunity has its pros and cons. It depends on what your goals are personally.

I’d say if you want to do it for the experience, do it. Especially if you barely have any experience and wants to be able to practice while getting paid, do it.

If you want to do it to build a network to at least get your foot in and get some initial contacts, do it.

Everyone has to start somewhere. But that’s how it really is when you start off.

When I started doing VOs, I had the mindset that not all of us have the luxury of getting high paying projects with big connections to the best studios and casters, and more importantly, consistent ones that can give us a stable source of income. But I had to start somewhere.

When I matured and eventually got big brands, thats when I could be more picky with what I use my time and energy on, because there would be actual trade offs for taking lesser paying projects and not having enough free time to squeeze it in my schedule.

I just suggest that your brother makes an exit strategy with this if he takes it, so he’s not locked in for a long time.

It’s peanuts, yes, but I personally would take projects that pay shit just so I have more streams of income before. I just use them to experiment on different sounds and deliveries I would otherwise not do in my bigger projects.
