VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Anyone get an email from VoiceJockeys.com? Their commercial rates are crap, but their narration rates aren't bad.

EDIT: Scratch that. Their rates are absurdly low when you consider you split it with them.

I send out invoices almost every day. Why then do I go 8, 9, even 10 days without getting a check in the mailbox? It can be very distressing when the payment is due on the Bentley.

If this isn't an April Fools prank, it oughtta be.

Did anyone read that VoiceJockeys gets a whopping FIFTY PERCENT of all orders booked? And that they are "allowed to make reasonable use of work product of Voice Personality, without prior consent from Voice Personality, nor shall Company be obligated to compensate Voice Personality for any additional use of said work product."

Oh, I can't wait to sign up and give my services away.

When will the dilution of our profession stop?

Combine this thread with Bob's question about unions and I'm sad and my brain hurts...

Laughed so hard when I read the email I actually started to cry - a truer reaction. Another wasted 30 seconds.

I like the visual shame of some of these folks who use just one name and the sort of Porn-Chat Room name that Philip uses: "Big Voice"
