Someone told me there was bacon in here. There’s not. Can anyone point me to it, please? I’m hungry.

What a clever, funny bunch!
From Master P’s manifesto (I’m in, btw) thru every hilarious comment, I’ve been grinning from ear to ear!
Screw being a voice talent – I think we have all the makings for a hit comedy series brewing…

@Todd “forgenst it” is hereby declared the official slogan for 2010

@Philip auditioning is less an idea and more of dream-like state in which most auditioners don’t really know what they are doing so no harm is really done.

@Tim Voice talent rarely spin their wheels…that’s too much like exercise

@Jim just the idea of having to dance at all with some of my agents makes me dizzy

@Dana you are all welcome

@Jamee Sing with me “I’m forgettable….that’s what I issssss”

@Rachel Actually, the librarians were the one’s leading the make-out sessions

@Doug CRAP has always heavily influenced the attitudes of voice talents world wide so we truly value your polite CRAP

@Roy your points are too logical and sensible to be understood by our WACKE supporters. Plus Martha Stewart is on and she’s doing unspeakable things with a chocolate fondue so we’re distracted. We will however try to remember to send you the audio from the make-out sessions

@Gregory so then there’s your answer. Would you like your mocha chocha fandimonium card punch? With 10 punches you get a free scone

@Bobbin, that motion was tabled and that table is now in the corner of the room to add to the feng shui of the vocal booth

@Christina Funny, that’s the same thing I told my wife about our wedding

Best always,
- Peter

I fell asleep half way through trying to read this tome. The only thing I remember is something about lattes and cake. As long as the cake is chocolate count me in.

We cast voice actors all the time. We always do custom castings as each script is unique in its nuances that only a custom read can deliver. The agency producers are almost always disappointed when they are forced to choose a voice from a reel as are their clients. I do not see custom voice casting for high end spots ever going away. We may have to drop the price we charge but the need will never die. We always slate the actors name at the head of the take and never torture talent in a casting session. 2-3 reads is enough to see if the actors voice and understanding of the role is right.

However I too would like to hear the details of the makeout session as i am sure there would be fantastic lip smacks, umms and ahs to entertain us all.

Due to the continental time difference, the Canadian Recording Announcers Panel (CRAP) is only now weighing in. We agree, but only if it is polite to do so, eh?

Hear, hear! And there, and there, and waaaaaay over there as well. There were make-out sessions? I gotta start attending these things; they sound more “interesting” than the library conferences I usually attend.
