Posted by:Yes, please enter me, too...Julie's 5 hours of audio from "How To Make Money In Voice-Overs Even If You Aren't in N.Y. or L.A." would be invaluable information, I'm sure, and adding in the digital player and earbuds makes this a really sweet package...
Thanks!

What a wonderful gift to win! Please sign me up for the opportunity to advance my knowledge. Sounds like a terrific tool!
Posted by:Thanks for these great ways to keep up with Voice Overs. Teri
The player is great, but it's the free coaching that really draws this Seattleite.
Thanks for doing the Saturday Giveaway. What fun!
Posted by:Wow! The photo of the digital player makes it look kind of like a promotional item you might give away. I was wondering what producers feel about receiving promotional items along with demos. Does anyone have any insight? I'd love to win the course as well! Thanks so much...

Posted by:Count me in! Thanks for having so much to participate in lately! It's great to have a career coach/cheerleader in voices.com. A great inspiration!
Posted by:Sign me up, please!
Posted by:Aloha, I would like to enter for this very valuable study aid. And don't forget that Julie Williams is now on Facebook. Ask her to be your friend.
Posted by:Hi Stephanie,
Well, it goes without saying that I would really like to win this giveaway, so I won't say it. But I will say this...I am finally starting to realize how important constant training and practice are. Between this site and several others the one constant I hear from the voice pros and coaches is keep training. It's so easy to think you've arrived and make your demo early, and start auditioning for everything you can, but that is not the smart way to go about it. Thank you for all your site provides.
Posted by:Mike Achen
This would be so helpful!! I would love to learn more!
Posted by:WOW! What a fabulous give-away. Please count me in.
Posted by:HOW COULD YOU NOT WANT TO WIN THIS WEEKS GIVEAWAY!!!

All my best

I was awarded the employee of the month at my work place. The winner had to go to a radio station and do a commercial for the company. The people at the station really liked my voice. " You should do copy work" they said and I wanted to yell " I WANT TO BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW!!!" So, this is why I would love this prize.
Posted by:Great giveaway. Would love to win.
Posted by:PLEASE INCLUDE ME IN THIS DRAWING TY
Posted by:Who wouldn't want something from Julie?! Sign me up!! Ed
Posted by:I’m not sure what kind of comment you are looking for however I’d like to send you this feedback. I have decided to try to see if it is possible for me to enter the field of Voice Over. I came across voices.com while doing a Google search.
I find your messages informative and they have helped me to stay motivated. They are the positive messages I need to counteract all the negative ones I receive when I tell my family and friends about my goal.
I would like to thank you for your help and can’t wait to let you know when I get my first Voice Over job
