VO-BB - 19 YEARS OLD!

COURVO · Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 1:45 am Post subject: Red Letter....

...Day.

Contact.

I feel like I've arrived, and I GOTTA share.

Y'know -- you all ARE my Voice-over inspiration.

I've listened, promoted, practiced, marketed, followed-up, been patient and persisted.

Today, my first out-of-the-blue, honest-to-goodness, self-enterprised, independent voice-over job. It's only a podcast narration. But it's a giant step for Courvo-kind.

I'm not going to give up news-anchoring yet, but you coulda picked me off the ceiling when the call came from NY this morning and woke me up. Half-hour later -- product safely delivered....and I was still in my pajamas!

Thank you everyone!

Courvo

Hey, congrats!

I'm in the same boat. I got a call yesterday afternoon from a production house informing me of my first booking ever: a radio spot for a university. The session is later this morning. I didn't even have to audition. They picked me based on my demo. This is a great day!

Congratulations Dave!... and I thought the only person that made money while wearing pajamas was Hugh Hefner.

First?! I thought you'd been doing VO on the side for years and years.

OK, so now you start doing VO on the side for years and years.

Congrats! And I know Bailey was just joking...all VO's are card-carrying members of the Wear-Your-Pajamas-To-Work-Brigade.
