Thanks for the nice comment. Even though I and many other voice-over actors are very generous with advice on our blogs and web sites, other talent have read and told me they agreed with this post. We can only do so much to help other people at no cost before it hurts our bottom lines.

Please feel free to reference this post in your class, as well as any others on my blog and web site that you find useful. I write my blog with the aim to help people in their voice-over careers. Newcomers and professionals alike have expressed appreciation for many of my posts. Some of the favorite entries have been:

Thanks so much for putting into words what I have thought during many, many inquiry phone calls.

I start teaching a class in beginning voiceover this Saturday at a local community theatre. Would you mind if I reference your entry at some point to emphasize the business aspect of this business?

Best,
Joe

Thanks so much for the comment, the link to your blog and the corroboration about my policy. As you so succinctly wrote, rejection is part of the job. I do think that if you want something badly enough, nothing or no one will stand in your way of obtaining it.

Thanks again for dropping by!

Karen

Karen:

You heartless meany!!! I loved it. I was laughing out loud in agreement. Been there done that and wrote about it too: http://audioconnell.com/blog/?p=24

Sometimes we just have to say “no” (just so YOU know, you’re not alone).

Best always,
Peter

I stumbled across your website while trying to discover if the initial StoresOnline seminar I went to today was a scam. Because of your 7/16/06 entry re: your experience & your regrets about not speaking out,I’m thinking of compiling info on the company & surreptitiously handing it out at the daylong seminar since I’ve already paid to go. Anyhow, thanks for the info.
Best,
Cate
