And what is this fasciunation with prostitution? Read the next post.

I’m the first guy to toss my hat in the ring and say “Things suck and they’re going to get worse.” AS creative folks trying to ply a living in a vast ocean of wannabe voice performers, we’re lucky every time someone spots us treading water and tosses us a life preserver.

Now, AS fortunate as I have been in my career to have had some years making pretty darn good money and having people ask me on a regular basis “Is that you doing the ovice for the Blah Blah Blah commercial?”, I have never had a roadie. Nor have I ever perfromed a voiceover and have awoman toss me a room key or leave a pair of undergarments in the recording booth for me.

I’ve never had the pleasure of standing before 50,000 people in Madison Square Garden and say “New York City, Are you ready to rock and roll?”

With the exception of the Rolling Stones and a few other musicians who somehow seem to have cheated both time and the Billboard Charts, there are thusands of these fellows who have theri choice of pumping gas in Encino and talking about the good old days or what we may call “selling out”.

As a voice actor, it’s doubtful you’ll ever see me on VH1’s “Where are they Now?” And god willing, I’ll still be talking about your grocer’s frozen food section 20 years from now.

The only problem I have when I hear one of these songs being played fo commercial purposes is that they could have used me for the v.o.

The nice thing about never having been a rock star is never having to be an ex-rock star.
