VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

....another one opens!

Yeah, that's what they all say. Grab a jug of somethin' and set a spell while I tell yall my story.

Since August last year I've been the voice for UK based Carpet Right doing their national TV and radio commercials, more often than not more than one session per month plus the useage. Needless to say we're not talking beer money.

As I was closing my accounts for March I noticed that I hadn't done any work for Carpet Right, until that day I simply hadn't noticed. Today whilst watching a fun film on the TV I saw the latest commercial for Carpet Right with a different VO, sounded good and looked fine. The ad agency has moved on.

So March 2012 was a dark month as one good thing came to an end. I looked again at the numbers. March 2012 was my best month out of the last 18 months.

What's going to happen next? I don't know, if I did it would take the fun out of life.

Have a great week.

Just like a straying lover. They thought they needed someone new but quickly realized there's no one else that satisfies like the original. Plus, the way you say "Wow!"? How could they leave?

So let me get this straight: when one door closes, another one opens. And then the first door opens again. So now you have nice new French doors. Excellent!
