A couple of days ago an agency in the USA got in touch and asked about my availability for an ISDN session on Monday. I tend to simply answer questions rather than ask them so mentioned that 2pm onwards would be ok. It's a very nice job even when the VO agent has deducted the 15% commission.

When did the agent request the audition? When was I consulted as to whether or not I should be put forward to the client as the Voice of choice? How much time did I spent haggling and bargaining over the budget? I couldn't remember! My elderly brain getting the better of me? No! The first I heard of the job was the "are you available" contact and then I received the confirmation of the booking.

This reporter is pleased to announce the existence of at least one VO agency in the USA that doesn't insist on b*ggering around.

Love when that happens.

Happened to me today as well.

See, they're not all bad in the US, Banksey. Wink

Happens to me just frequently with one of my agents. Yep, I love when that happens.
