If you think you've heard it all, you're mistaken.

As you said, just when you thought you'd heard it all...

I would say that I'm shocked, but I'm of an age where little shocks me anymore. So let's go with disgusted.

Well, good luck with that business model.

There's more.

VoiceJockeys answered back (in a sort of semi-contrite way), and now Robert has issued a NEW challenge...and its a doozie!

Go back to VoiceOverXtra HERE to see the next installment.

I wonder if this all is giving these bottom-feeders more publicity than they deserve.

After all the work we did on hearthebill.org, I'm thinking how useful it would have been to have someone go through the entire health reform bill, section by section, translating everything into plain English the way Rob did with that work agreement.

I couldn't help but have a go at it myself because I strongly believe that this episode is just a symptom of something deeper. Enjoy!

The horror...

Thanks a heap for posting this Mike!
I'm curious to see how their contract changes as a result of a few savvy VO's getting the word out.

This is very sad. Unfortunately, there are always peeps willing to go for these kind of schemes. I recently just saw an advert for voice talent paying $3 an hour. The client's desired range was $1 to $3 an hour. I was very surprised and mortified, BUT, there was a list of candidates who had already submitted for the gig.

Thanks Rob for all your efforts and thanks Paul too, for your fine blog post.
