AudioFreelances, take 2

Thanks for friends and blog readers who responded to yesterday’s blog:  AudioFreelances?

‘Turns out this is a potential client who is finding work for me and others, and rather than repeatedly asking us for demos, or emailing them to producers, he created a website for those producers to visit.  I just didn’t know it was him.

I got an conciliatory email from the web author yesterday, and all is right with the world.  I will be sending him a new demo, but I wished he would’ve told me he was doing this, ’cause I would just as soon have had those producers visit MY website, not his.  But…no harm, no foul, I suppose, maybe he can put a link to my site on his site.

AudioFreelances?

A voice over friend wrote to ask me my opinion of AudioFreelances.com.  After all, my name and demo was listed under male talent on the site.  Hmm.

I’ll be the first to admit that for a couple of years, there, I was capriciously signing up for just about any VO-related website that had a microphone on its home page.  Along the way, I lost track of all the ones to which I sent a demo.

So, I fired up the browser, and checked ‘em out.  You can too, by clicking their logo above.

Another “Hmmm”.

Nope…I’d remember that logo fur sure.  But, sure enough, an old demo of mine is listed.  I see no names of responsible parties under “contact” or “about”, and to be honest, I’ve not yet filled out their contact form to reach out to them.

I’m not sure how I feel about this.  I’d like to say there’s no real foul, there, ‘cept an old demo.  But then again, I shouldn’t have loose ends in my marketing plan and my brand dangling out there, un-managed.  I KNOW I haven’t gotten any work from this outfit.

I thought before I approach with an email, I’d throw this one open to my blog readers.  Anyone heard of this outfit?

EveryDemo

EverydemoRadioVoices123 notified me today they’re changing their domain name, but not much else.

See my previous blog on RadioVoices123 for more details on the basics of this service.

The new URL/name is http://www.everydemo.com.

Contact is Keith Farrell.

I think this site has potential, and Keith is not disclosing why he made the change, but I think the new name is much better.

Who isn’t always “workin’ on a new demo“?!

…and well you should be. Times change, trends change, your abilities change…so you gotta keep that “calling card” up to date.

Click HERE to see how you can spit-polish that demo at a very very reasonable cost before the end of the Summer.
