Comment on My lastest Private Message from Voices.com by Stephanie Ciccarelli

Hi Michael,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I can confirm that the person who sent you that message was registered as a client and had their account removed due to the activity you described above. People can only email you if they are registered with our site now and by deleting her account she will not be able to contact anyone for purposes of that kind.

Laurynda looked after all of this a few days ago when she emailed the user and asked what her intentions were, stating that if they didn’t reply to her email she would delete their account by the end of the day. The person did reply and admitted they were not using our site for the purpose it was meant for which resulted in the deletion of their account.

I trust this personal note from me has clarified what went on and that the matter was handled promptly and professionally.

Best wishes,

Stephanie Ciccarelli

Darryl, you definitely have a hill to climb, but that’s ok. What you have to do is evaluate your skill set and your capabilities and see which one of them should get attention first.

Many people put the cart before the horse in this business and it only leads to losses and frustration.
We wish you luck and you know we’re always here to help.

Michael,

Good stuff. Here is my dilemma. I can get to a studio with all the bells and whistles, belong to the lower end of a vo talent site (no results) and dont have a website or equip. But…I’m finishing my degree in multimedia and hopefully will have the skills to make an excellent VO and host a great website. The equipment and place to put it comes after that.

I’m a desiderata follower as well. It has shaped and molded much of who I am and how I see things.

I thought some people might see me winking behind the line about the pop filter. Glad you did at least! Thanks for the kind words.

Great article Michael! While reading this I couldn’t help but think of part of the desiderata which reads “If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself.” Love the bit about talent E’s pop filter hand sewn from black widow silk. :-)

While it is true that I don’t take everyone as a student, I usually don’t base that decision solely on someones voice. There are many other issues that would keep me from taking someone on as a student. These can always be addressed in the evaluation session, which is free and which is available to everyone who wants one.
