Have a look at his blog! Oh, my!

My favorite bits are: "My none, profit charity program , helps and sponsor major affiliate promotional MODELS to avoid-work-at-home scams..." "why we want you to be rich..."

Please note that I highlighted the funny bits, it was not on the original, however everything else including spelling is.

Hi Claire,
I didn't get the lead/message myself (thankfully!)
Follow through to his voices-com site. Unbelievable!
What on earth is going on here?

Have a listen to his 'demos'-he must have spent at least an hour in front of the TV recording grabs from movies.
I think that is probably the sum total time he has spent in the VO industry!
Hilarious!

I have a feeling that Voice's gatekeeper systems might have let them down. Or, he might have found a loophole.

I haven't read his 'blog' completely, but what I have seen is pretty incoherent and rambling. Also, large swathes look like they've been cut and pasted from somewhere else.

I've contacted Voices to query his presence on their site.
Let's see what happens now...

Cheers!

Steve

I have not, Claire. But then, I almost never hear ANYTHING from that site. I'm not sure why, but while I'm ranked something like 39th top 'favorite' overall there (no idea how that happened), I never seem to land any work thru that site. I'd almost appreciate getting spammed from there just to know I'm being heard!
