Erik Sheppard and his associates have launched the Voice Talent Production site.  Click HERE. 

A lot of work has gone into the back-end of this enterprise, and I find myself extremely honored to be the company of the other talent here.

Please take a moment to look around, and pass the word on to those who matter (ahem: clients) that this is the place to look first!

Oh….BTW, two prominent VA talents are in Vegas this week, and if I’m lucky, I’ll be able to run into both of them:  Chris Flockton, a NYC-based British voice, and Ron Knight of Knight Mediacom.  ‘LOVE the way Vegas attracts all the right people!

My thanks to Kitzie Stern and Terry Daniel for pointing me to THIS article written by Patricia Handschiegel in the online version of TV week entitled:  "Is The Internet Creating a Scary Crystal Ball for Talent Firms?"

Having one or two or three is great. 

Not having any is do-able.

Needing one — or thinking you HAVE to have one — and not being able to get one is ah, er…lousy.

Agents.  Love 'em.  Hate 'em. 

Anachronism, or absolutely necessity?

My take is that if you really want to break into the BIG commercial jobs in LA or NY, you will HAVE to have an agent.  But many successful independent voice actors are supporting their families just fine on the money they make without an agent.

So what gives? 

For the answser to that, I'm going to the experts, and one of the best at this question is Bob Fraser, the long-time acting coach based in SoCal.

He's offering a free list of 4,000 agents: "The Agent Roster".  And it's legit, but when you click on the link, you'll get a soft-sell for another product he'd like you to buy, and it's a pretty darn good offer with a 1-yr money back guarantee called "Cracking the Agent Code".

Thanks Bob!
