My Less Than Brilliant Voiceover Career...

OK, so I haven't gotten into a daily blog pattern. And I haven't done anything to advance my "voiceover" career. I'm weighing how much to invest, vs likely payoff. Bottom line: I can't see how mailing demo CDs to places (if I can even figure out where to send them). And it seems like everyone who does voiceovers has their own home studio--something they only touched on in the class I took. I've felt all along like I paid a lot of money for a dream that's much tougher to have come true than Voices.Com would have one believe. But they were clear that they wouldn't help people get jobs; I think a lot of us wanted to believe their line that perseverance will pay off.

But I haven't given up. I tell myself I'm strengthening my voice so I'll be in good shape when I do get a job--my speaking and singing voices were wearing out quickly. We'll see if my (singing) vocal exercises will help. And I do need to figure out where to mail these CDs--no use having 40 CDs sitting around. I just feel at this point that buying equipment could be a waste of money (in addition to what I spent for the lessons and recording session). I know these sound like excuses....
