Hello all,
Finally getting around to posting my intro.
My name's Joe J Thomas, a VA in Los Angeles, and I've been playing with voices since grade school in Cleveland, OH. After years of theatre/improv/film/tv/radio, I've decided to pursue VO full on - what a hoot it's been!
I really enjoy Voice123 - it's been a great way to get consistent auditions under my belt, and land a couple good jobs as well. It paid for itself within 2 months - cant complain about that. Service response is excellent too...
I'm a bit of a "jack of all trades" in voice work... dialects, characters, impressions, promos... (I just can't make up my mind!) My latest project was "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" (video game) - who knew you could get paid to do what you love?!?!?
If you'd like to know a bit more, my Voice123 site is:
http://joethomas1.voice123.com
... and my personal home page is at:
http://www.JoeActor.com
I'd welcome any feedback you may have on my site or demos. Adapt, adopt and improve.
Pleased to meet you all - hope to be of service in some small way,
Joe J Thomas

Hello Joe.
Welcome
This sponsored site by Voice123 was conceived with the idea of having a place in which to communicate in a more active way, where you can participate in open discussions, submit your inquiries, ask technical questions, suggest new ideas, get critique and feedback on your profile and demos, look for help and help others, find new information related to the industry or just share your mind.
We really want voice over Savvy Forum to be a gathering tool for the voice over community and a great resource for you.
We are hoping to see you around. |

Your demos are good. You sound like a seasoned professional and if you don't make it in the voiceover businees you'd make a great Nicolas Cage stand in.  |

Thanks Louis!
Appreciate the feedback...
I'd take a gig as a stand-in for NC any day (had a hairdresser tell me that when I moved out to LaLa Land).  |

Hi Rupa - you have a nice feel to your voice, and a great headshot too.
(and a singer too - do you have a demo for that? I've been working on mine)
Although I don't speak Hindi, I liked the Garnier spot.
Do you get a lot of Hindi work in NY/NJ?
Glad to see you get a good amount of work - my best to you,
Joe |

Thanks so much Joe!
I'm so glad you liked the Garnier one, even tho u dont understand the language.
I dont get too much Hindi work here, mostly English. Which is fine.. work is always welcome 
I am still not a singing pro, so am not aiming for a demo as yet. But hopefully will do, soon! |

Welcome Joe,
Not so average, I'd say. A very impressive range! Wonderful characters. I'm with you - love doing those. When I was a kid I used to "collect" voices and how to count up to ten in other languages. Anyway, best of luck - I'll keep listening for you.

Hey Joe...That's awesome that you were in Marvel: UA...I submitted for Bruce Banner, since there was a nation-wide contest for the parts of him and Namor: the Sub-Mariner...Congrats on that and hope to be out there along side you in a couple of years!
Regards,

I was surprised when I got the e-mail from Activision. They got a lot of auditions on-line and at Comic-Con. It was a very good experience - everyone was friendly and very professional.
I'll save a stool for you in the booth,
Joe |

Thank you for the kind words Miriam. I've been fortunate to have some wonderful coaches along the way.
Hmmm... counting to 10 in other languages - that's one I haven't done yet. I guess we all have our ways of absorbing new sounds. I like that one (and may steal it from you!)
I'm learning Japanese at the moment. Never had much of a head for languages - 2 yrs of Spanish and all I can do is ask for a beer and the bathroom!
Pleased to meet you - best of luck in all your ventures,
Joe |
