I didn't get it either, Jeff— so it's another thing I won't accidentally be part of.

i got joined up to something this week too! different deal, though. i was offered representation from an "agent" for $20/month. i said no thanks. yesterday i got a request for payment. marketing tactic, sure. not my kind of marketing.

I think the term is "icky" marketing.

Actually, this could well be a phishing attempt to gain usernames and passwords. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing)

They send you an email about your 'account', you go to the site to try to log in, you give them your email and a password you typically use on sites like this, then they turn around and try to log in to other sites with your email & password. Like you ebay or paypal account. Etc.

If you use that password on other sites, change it on those sites. Preferably from a computer other than the one you used to try logging in to that site with, but is trusted (spouse's? friend's?).

Hmmphh.....well, that doesn't bother me. I always use the password "brett1234" on all of my secure sites and never, never, never divulge it to anyone....

I actually did sign up with voicespro. They're all right. I did find an agent via their network, and as it's non-exclusive, I'm now looking for an additional one. They don't have that many casting listings, but once in a while they get a juicy one.

I'm waiting to see if I managed to get in on a particular one. It seems exciting, so if I do get cast, everyone's gonna know about it! Sticking out Tongue

Obviously, I'm not solely with voicespro. But the more the merrier (within reason), multiple streams of income and all that!

Cheers!

Well, I'll be.... but sure enough....there I am!

TOTALLY forgot about that site.... 'guess that says something about how well it works for me.

Anybody else gt a similar offer from an international VO outfit called Edisense?

This social networking thing is getting out of hand... I gotta start keeping a log book somewhere.....

I guess I should feel - er - well - left out? Well, maybe not.

I have not received anything from Voicespro or the other one Dave Mentioned.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I will keep thinking it is a good thing.
