I am a relatively new member and I am absolutely THRILLED I found Voices.com.
This site has been a Godsend... for someone like me who works in the industry behind the scenes, but who is always looking at the spotlight (or microphone) with stars in his eyes! Thanks to the support of my family, a little bit of luck and the insight of your website and podcasts, I am finally getting my name back out there and starting to book some jobs; After having a good start in Chicago several years ago, then taking a not-by-choice near 6 year hiatus, I am starting over, but I am READY! !
I have been a HUGE fan and follower of Pat Fraley's work and teaching methods for many years and Julie Williams' self-marketing advice (probably my biggest weakness) has been very helpful... and yes I am going to write her too and let her know.
While I work in radio in a technical support capacity (I do occasionally provide character voices for many of the shows here on ESPN radio), my true love and my background is performing! I literally fell into my current position from a creative-production/programming/theatrical background... so Adam and Colin's TECH TALK pieces have also been very helpful!
I look forward (now every Thursday) to the Podcast as a wonderful addition to my "podcast listening regiment"! I missed it very much this week, but knowing full well that you and the rest of the VOICES.COM staff were very busy in Las Vegas at the Voice conference (I hope that I can make it next year)!
I wanted to touch base with you, David and the rest of the Voices.com crew and thank you from the bottom of my heart... and vocal chords!
Keep up the good work!
Your podcast, website, insight and dedication to all of us in the voice over industry, pro, amateur or just starting out are very welcome and provide some wonderfully necessary tools for our arsenals for success!
Sincerely,
Philip Weber
