I wondered ... (if it's a non union job) why doesn't the client just go with the AI voice and call it a day? Sadly, it's looking like this is where the future of general, day to day, in the trenches ... |

I got the same audition sent to me from both my Chicago agency and my NY agency.

I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong, Bob). You can do "a" (singular) union job under Taft-Hartley and not become a union member. Your client would have ... |
