$1.1M Audition! Why I PASSED and Maybe YOU Should Have Too

from VO Pro: The Business of Voice Over and Voice Acting · host Paul Schmidt

Why would anyone in their right mind PASS on a $1.1 million audition? And Paul, aren’t you the one always beating us over the head with, “Stand up for pro rates, “Know your worth,” “Make it worth your time,” and on and on? First of all, who ever said I was in my right mind? Secondly, I absolutely beat the drum of “Stand up for pro rates, “Know your worth,” and “Make it worth your time.” So why did I pass on a 1.1 million-dollar commercial audition? Why did I not even take a swing? Have I stroked out? Lost my marbles? Has Pauly’s Little Choo-Choo gone around the bend? Today I’m going to lay out for you exactly why it took me less than two minutes to pass on this opportunity, and why... maybe…you should have, too. _____________________________ ▶️ Watch this video next: https://youtu.be/z3KAWDklM_0?si=i_y0jG9aKOS4gaV0 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@vo-pro?sub_confirmation=1 The VO Freedom Master Plan: https://vopro.pro/vo-freedom-master-plan The VO Pro Community: https://vopro.app  Use code You15Tube for 15% off of your membership for life.
