Well, it seems to get busier and busier every night, and that is a great thing. It is about 2:40am, and tonight, I have handled 4 chats in two hours, all from talents. This does not surprise me...as they seem to be auditioning all night long anyway.
I had more work to do this evening than usual, as I sent out info on Susan G. Komen's 'Race for the Cure 2009'.
I am also using Voice123 as a voice seeker myself, which has been a very interesting experience. I cannot say much now, but I have been assisting an Emmy award winner with posting a job on Voice123 that looks to be cast out of Los Angeles. The experience has been enjoyable and educational.
I am happy to report this week that we have had many many projects posted on Voice123 this week, almost 200 SmartCast projects in four days!
Did me staying up late have anything to do with it? I do not know. I do know I approved about 10 projects after midnight, but the auditioning after midnight has increased heavily this week, with the amount of projects.
I have learned a great deal in just a few days, including that I will not be able to last the month. The last time I had a job from 10pm to 7am...I was much younger. I am not saying I feel old. I am saying that I forgot the mental and physical effort it takes to stay up this late, work alone, and try not to go insane in the process. I admit with a good laugh, that the chats are very welcomed.
If they did not come, I would be speaking to a Wilson soccer ball, much like Tom Hanks.
I did find that this type of schedule does something to the mind because today for the 4th straight day, I woke up at 4pm in the afternoon. I get one hour of sun in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon before the sun sets. Truly, a vampire lifestyle...but I drink diet coke.
This has been fun though. It was new, and a change of pace. I just miss daylight.

Hi Steven! I am a new voice talent, new to the site, not really sure how to proceed, and in transition myself moving from coast to coast in few days.
I was encouraged by your mother's story of surviving breast cancer in the midst of every other disaster, as if just having breast cancer isn't difficult enough.
I am also a breast cancer survivor, and becoming a professional voice talent is part of my new life (there is before and after story, like so many others).
I guess I just thought I'd reach out to give support. I like your blog, I'm gonna learn how to use the site (so much to learn, and you V123 seems to have a lot of information like technical stuff that is brand new to me) and hey! If Susan Komen ever needs a voice talent, I'd hope to be their choice!
Keep up the good work,
Sonia Belliveau
