SHOCKING REAL CALL with an EXPLOITATIVE Voice Over Producer

What you are about to hear is an actual call about an exploitative practice that is too common in our business. It is a prime example of a tiny number of producers who purposefully seek out younger and/or less experienced talent and knowingly exploit them for the benefit of their own organizations. This call is shocking in its brazen self-awareness. The following is a clip of a call I recently had with a producer for a non-profit religious organization that produces and distributes video and audio content on an international scale.  The media they produce and place is both broadcast, meaning TV, radio, and web, and other non-broadcast media. We introduced ourselves and made small talk and pretty quickly the producer opened the meat of the conversation with a question about rates. The clip picks up there. #voiceover #voiceactor #voiceoverartist #voicetalent #voiceacting #voiceovers #voiceovertalent #voiceartist #voices #voiceoveractor #voiceoverjobs _____________________________ Gravy For The Brain’s Voiceover Licensing Guide for Hirers: https://www.gravyforthebrain.com/voiceover-licensing-a-guide-for-hirers/ ▶️ Watch this video next: https://youtu.be/yunEOWegrgc SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@paulschmidtpro?sub_confirmation=1 The VO Freedom Master Plan: https://paulschmidtpro.com/vo-freedom-master-plan My Move Touch Inspire Newsletter for Voice Actors: https://paulschmidtpro.com/newsletter The Paul Schmidt Pro Podcast: https://paulschmidtpro.com/the-pro-podcast 7 Steps to Staring and Developing a Career in Voiceover: https://paulschmidtpro.com/7-steps-signup Say Hi on Social:  https://pillar.io/paulschmidtpro https://www.instagram.com/paulschmidtvo https://www.tiktok.com/@paulschmidtpro https://www.clubhouse.com/@paulschmidtvo https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulschmidtvo/ My voice over website: https://paulschmidtvoice.com GVAA Rate Guide: http://vorateguide.com Tools and People I Work with and Recommend (If you use these links to buy something we may earn a commission.):  For lead generation and targeting - Apollo.io: https://apollo.grsm.io/yt-paulschmidtpro Way Better than Linktree: https://pillar.io/referral/paulschmidtpro Video editing and color correction by my dear friend, Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/  Send us Fan MailSupport the show
