         <title>Humility and Voice Acting</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Humility woman praying" src="http://blogs.voices.com/voxdaily/humility-woman-praying.jpg" width="310" height="209" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></span>When people are voice acting, their names are not generally associated with the voice over or the product they are selling.</p>

<p>The one exception that I can think of is in the world of character voice acting where there may be credits included at the end of a cartoon, film, or in a video game.</p>

<p>Bearing that in mind, how does this affect the voice acting profession?</p>
