VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

johnnyheller · Joined: 20 Jun 2013 Posts: 18 Location: New York City

I was going to post my new commercial VO demo to get your opinions. Instead, I got a new agent! I just signed with Abrams Artists Agency. (I had been with them for 6 years or so about 7 years ago so it's something of a homecoming). I will say that they said my demo was excellent.

so now I don't care about any opinions! Laugh

the above sounded mean -- but I was kidding. ...about the opinions I mean.
I think this is a great site with some wonderful people!

Congrats, Johnny!! And actually not mean at all, but rather smart business.

When one has an agent, unless they plan to leave the agency or the agent mentions they don't like the demo, it's bad form to ask others for demo advice. Gotta trust your agent.

Are you with Abrams in NYC or LA? If LA give Dean my best. Nice guy.

Big-time congrats! And yeah, while there are lots of good VOAs (especially here!) who know what they're talking about when it comes to demos - they aren't the ones booking! Wink

I hope that doesn't sound mean, guys!

Johnny-

I'm happy you're happy.

I'll be happier for you when I hear about the bookings they get you.

Step 1 is awesome

Step 2 is critical

It's true for ALL of us

Enjoy the ride!

Nice work brotha!

Opinions are fun but the proof is in the pudding.

Super news...(maybe I can use that "homecoming" thing with Special Artists Agency).
