The first few words of the "chocolate" part got my attention and then you lost me again.

My guess is that most people looking to hire a voice would not get as far in to your demo as I.

Here's what I'm seeking - Marketability. Whilst I'm not a client or a potential client I try to listen with the ear of someone who is likely to say "we buy this guy and here's why ...."

Make a demo that is one thing to one man, you. Avoid making a Voice Over demo or a demo that tries to be all things to all men.

The question for you is why buy you?

In order to answer the above question you simply have to press PLAY on your demo, your new demo.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Cooper,

Have you had the opportunity to speak with the Dana at Voice Spot in Calgary?

PM me and I'd be happy to put you in touch with some people in town who you might find helpful.

Cheers,

I see. So make a demo that highlights my one voice.

not exactly. Make a demo that highlights ONLY your marketable voices. Could be one or several.
