Well, I finally had a break in the action and decided to assemble a new Character demo. But as I did some research of the major talent agencies I notice few have a "Character" category and now just call it "Animation". I actually have separate animation audio. I wonder if I should do a separate one or what? Oh well. For your consideration:

I like the demo alot. Hard question to answer. Maybe have an animation link and a character commercials link?

Great as always Bruce.

My take is that character demos are often commercial-driven yet displaying more extreme characters, whereas animation demos are purely non-commercial and one is acting in a vivid non-commercial world and the characters might range from the extreme to the subtle. Animation seems to be more emotional on a gut-level...much of what's in the second half of this Character Demo is Animation-appropriate, but I don't think the clips that are product-specific are. Those clips are still strong and emotional, but they're not in the same mindset. I suppose a character demo can have animation clips, but an animation demo shouldn't have commercials.

An analogy I'll use is this...some corporate clients book me for my narration demo, others book me for my corporate demo - it depends upon which kind of program they're putting together.

Bruce, Nice work. Why not have a character demo as well as an animation demo. That way there are lots of choices for producers/directors/clients/whomever to listen to.
