My first radio gig!


First of all, I have to apologize for letting my blog decay. I've just been so busy doing things that I've neglected to keep this updated!!

My last big of excitement was taking the VO class. A couple of months ago, I got a call from my Casting Director telling me she had a radio ad that needed VO artists and asked if I was interested! YES!! I was so excited!!

I had to finagle my schedule...or so I thought. It turned out OK because I recorded the commercial during my lunch hour.

I went to the radio station (KZST for those of you in Sonoma County) and recorded the commercial with 5 other actors. The company hiring us to do the commercial had another set of actors record it and the owner wasn't thrilled with the results so he hired us! I got great feedback from the ad agency and was sooooooo happy that it went well.

But celebrity is fickle and so are radio clients. The owner of the company who hired us for the commercial must have thought we were too 'lively' and he kept the original commercial. So much for my first 15 minutes of fame!

I did get paid so I've had my first paying 'gig' as a Voice Over Artist. Chalk up one for my resume.
