I spend a minute or so sharing some tips regarding sending demos. I could've ignored the person but I didn't. His response?

"Okay....I'll keep trying until something cracks open"

Two words do not come naturally to this person. Luckily it was only me but what if I'd been a potential client showing an interest.

This happens so often, that I'm hesitant to help people.

Hey there... really, really new here, but saw these postings and got worried.

It's so exciting to find something like this (a place where people are open, sincere, and honest!), last thing you wanna do is ruin it. So for me personally, if I ever mess up - need to tread lightly, or have ignorantly missed the value of something - PLEASE let me know.

So far haven't been brave enough to put any demos up for critique (got a long way to go), but feel very grateful to the people that have responded to my inquiries or offered direction to me thus far! Thank you thank you! Flowers

I think you already beat the odds by saying "Thank you".

Thanks Caryn!! I like you LOTS Kiss

And I know I am really new here.... but have been to my share of non-VO forums and can honestly say the core group here is incredible, three of you included. So much quality contribution! Not to mention the great personalities Wink

It's been only 72 hours and I'm an addict! So for whatever it's worth.... awesome!! (and thank you of course!)

This is becoming my mantra for 2010: I WANT NAMES.
