...or do you need many? How do you get one? What should they be doing for you? What can you do for them? What is a standard commission? Those questions and more will be posed and hopefully answered by our two expert guests, and all the voice-actors attending today's hour-long TweetChat,...
For a while, I was on fire to put together a new book from the archives of my blog. One about Social Media. The first book from the annals of my 8 years of blogging is a success: MorRefresh connection with LinkedIne Than Just A Voice: The REAL Secret to Voiceover Success. The pages of that book...
It's OK, you don't have to answer. In fact there may not BE a right or wrong answer...it could be sort of a personal thing. Talent agencies pretty much were the T-1 line to VO jobs back in the day. Now -- depending on who you ask --- agents are STILL the path to the best-paying jobs for top...
