VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Darren Altman · Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 2:16 pm Post subject: Charity voiceoevers

Hi all. Is it me or are there lots of people finding and contacting voiceovers asking to jobs for nothing? I've had several over the last couple of weeks and had another today. I have voiced a students' final video project, a video for a charity and am currently mulling over this current email! Is this a regular occurence? I'm hoping that all this good karma will be richly rewarded!!

I've gotten a few of those, and depending on who they are, I will consider doing their projects. Most of the pro bono work I've done student projects, which can be fun and edgy at times. Karma does reward -- I did a "freebie" for a student animation project a couple of years ago and he just wrote to say that the game he did is being picked up as an iPhone a Hobo Tounge

and that all of us who did the VO will be getting some money from it. So, sometimes good things do happen.

I've done a couple if everyone else is volunteering their time. And just a note: Your time spent volunteering your services for a non-profit is NOT tax deductible.

These requests come my way from time to time. I've even had a couple of British hospital radio stations contact me over the years for some imaging work. If the person asking is polite and sincere, and their cause seems reasonable, I usually help them out.

Not long ago I was asked by a former HS classmate to do a freebie promoting the "MD Faerie festival" thankfully they did'nt need the spot after all..I'd feel kinda uncomfortable talking about "faeries"
