VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

It has certainly been a roller coaster ride on my quest for the big sacks of money to show up on my door step. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to focus on working the VO as much as I would like due to the day job, the family , preparing for a company relo etc. Frankly there has been numerous times I seriously considered throwing in the towel, selling the gear and moving on...then out of the blue from a contact made months ago I get a call to do the voice for a tribute to Jerry Jones for his induction into the Arkansas School of Business Hall of Fame. Obviously I was thrilled to do something for someone at this level. Then I get an email today that says:

Yes I do love it! Commuting every week since July though, has been a real pain for sure. I haven't been very successful tuning up my travel gear. Big difference from a sound proof/treated room running the 416 through my Avalon compared to the noisy hotel room with the 416 running through a Tube-Pre. Certainly the interpretation and delivery are the priority but I am sure the substandard sound hasn't helped my auditions any. Hopefully things will settle down in a few short months. Just received a contract on our house and have an offer that we are working through on the other end. Then get the new studio set up and fuel the flame!!

Sounds like you are busy Jeff, but it will all fall into place. I am new to this business, and reading post here, I also feel the need to "Stick it out" Like anything it does not happen over night. Keep up the good work!!

Cheers,
