I have just gotten my first VO gig, 3 months and 5 auditions after launching my business. It's a real gig that pays real money. I can hardly believe it.

First rule in sales...as soon as you close a sale, go make another sales call.
Second rule GTM...get the money!
Actually, you change them up however you like.
Congrats!

Thank-you all for your good wishes. I haven't actually heard anything back from the client other than they received the files. Not "that's fine" or "you suck". But had a second gig today, went back and forth, got it the way they wanted, 15 minutes ago had an email, can you just reinforce a sound-bite with these 2 lines... I've done that and need to quick get to bed before anything else happens. Are we expected to stay awake all the time in this business?? |

..."Are we expected to stay awake all the time in this business??" The answer is "YES"!
Unless we are in another session or not in the studio - we are the magicians. I knda like it that way - although I do find myself "in a session" a lot of the time...
Keep the throat clear, and the pipes sounding great!
