"It's been a while" ~ he voiced with confidence.

I apologize for the great gap in between posts. I have been very busy. In the beginning of my last blog I mentioned that I had been auditioning like crazy after joining Voices.com. That was no lie and I continue to do so, I am averaging about 12 auditions a day, some days 20, some days 10 but that site never rests and the jobs keep showing up. It took me about 100 or so auditions before I booked my first Voices.com job, and the believe it or not, it was a VIDEO GAME. Nothing HUGE that shows up on the Xbox or your PS3, but instead a "Find the Missing Objects" type game for your tablets and laptops. The game is called Snark Busters: High Society and I am lucky enough to have voiced ALL the male voices in that game. It's actually pretty fun, and currently only about 3 buckaroo's. Go download and play today. Let me know what you think. :-)
Snark Busters : High Society

 

That was the begining, and since then, I've booked 6 other jobs ranging from voicemail recordings, instructional video's, and my first radio spots for Vermont Federal airing later this summer! I am continuing to take workshops as often as I can afford them at Talkshop and anywhere else I can find. They are proving to be very helpful and I continue to learn. I attended Rob Paulsen's first live podcast at the Jon Lovitz theater in Universal City, that was incredibly inspiring and fun. My second time meeting Rob, and 1st time meeting Maurice LaMarche. The guy on your right is my good friend Morgan, a sound engineer at Technicolor, (one of his many jobs) A great guy.

My home studio seems to be working just fine. A good friend of mine and producer of many things (including Crittick) Brendan Bradley suggested I find a way to prop up the box and stand while auditioning rather than sit, since then, I've been booking jobs. :-)

Still actively seeking an agent, if I can book on my own, I am guaranteed to book with an agent, and those jobs will pay much better. It's just the fine art of GETTING ONE!! Arghhh.

Until then, I will continue to do what I do; Use my talents daily to hopefully achieve a working career as a voice over artist. By the way. What do you think of my new HTML website!? JayPreston.com
