Yes, you’ve summed it up quite well, Jessica. I’m also from the old school. So I understand the THEN and NOW of it all. Frankly, I don’t get into the online tiffs about P2P sites, low ballers, bad talent, bad audio, etc. I just spend my time forging ahead on my own merits as a solid talent, taking it all in stride…but I’m doing well and growing. That’s all any of us dedicated to the VO biz can do.

Hi Jessica. We’ve never met in person, but we are kindred spirits (except I’m on the East Coast). You have summed up the pros and cons beautifully. Thanks!

Great article Jessica. I feel the same. It’s so confusing anymore on how to market yourself. I hate the idea of pay to play and there are even people on Fiverr doing VO’s for $5. There are advantages, sure to being able to work from home and not spend endless hours in traffic, however the interaction between “actor” and casting director (in person) is often the key to landing the job. It’s great to expand your reach but it also makes you a much smaller fish in an enormous pond.
