I was approached by a production company via my web-page (and email) here at voices.com, asking if I would be interested in voicing a commercial for them on behalf of their client, whom was not named.
It was to be about diabetes type 2 research.
Wow! This was a couple of days after I re-signed up with you guys for paid membership.
Of course, I was thrilled...
1) to be INVITED without having to apply or formally audition.
2) because as an ex nurse of 30 years, diabetes is a subject that is of interest to me, both on a professional, and a personal level.
Personal level, because I have family members who have this affliction and who have difficulty with their blood sugar levels.
So we agreed on a price and I received the script a few days before the recording session. That was when I found out who my client was.
So the ad was voiced and produced, and I received a copy of the finished product just a couple of days ago. It is now my primary demo on my page.
I have to say that the gentleman from the production company was just that! Very professional, very kind and reassuring (this was my first job recorded in a studio other than my own, and my first big name job!... I was nervous, and anxious because of who the client was.. concerned that I would do a good job for them, and also at that time dealing with some very serious personal issues with hubby's health. So it was quite a bitter-sweet time for me)
Thanks voices! For a while I was thinking this site was a waste of my money, but now my whole perspective has altered and I consider you to be a valuable tool in my vo arsenal.
Cheers,
