Hi Everyone,

My name is Justin D. Torres. I've been doing non-union voice over work primarily with voices.com and voice123 for the past four or five months. I'm about to do my first mail out of business cards and cover letters to non-union agents, but I figured I'd check around on what the pros are doing and seeing if my demo sounds reasonable. (i'll put it up in the critique section). Thanks for letting me in here and I hope to learn a lot about this wonderful job.

Hi, Justin. Nice to meet you!
This is one of the first places I go with my VO questions. The archives are brimming with advice/answers from a welcoming, generous group of peers.
