Two for One!
Being completely bilingual surely has its perks! At least, that's what my MOM used to say.
Well, I proved that to be correct again as I recently auditioned for a Voices.com job posting in English. It turns out, the end user needed several more voices in different languages, so I was selected to perform the company's French VO as well!
OK, so I am capable of speaking Italian and Spanish on top of the original two but I still have not managed to get a handle on Russian yet!
Anyway, the response was fantastic. The people who recruited my bilingual voice talent were as well and, I must say, it was refreshing to find a well written script that took voice pauses into consideration!
Now, if I could just land a bilingual narration from the Discovery Documentary folks
I would be... well, singing more praises in several languages!

Is Your Audition Good Enough To Air?
That was fun!
I just did an audition about an hour ago and was then contacted by the client who asked if I would add just the one word I left off the spot (purposely) so they could get final approval.
I edited in the one word and uploaded the file and within minutes it was awarded, accepted and paid.
I always make my auditions as clean as I would for a finished spot and I always pay close attention to time even on auditions. This isn't the first time this has happened, but it always makes me feel good when it does.
It also reinforces the old saying, "Do it right the first time."
