So, the economy sucks, business’s are trimming the fat, laying off employees, car dealers can’t deal because no one wants car payments, banks are not loaning money, houses are not selling and if you own a home it’s value has gone down due to all of the above. And if you are looking for a job-well, that pretty much sucks too.
How about the guy who was looking for a job,he had not found one for about three or four years. He was finely hired by a national chain of stores and was told to report to work the following day, but was called an hour before he was to report for work and told not to come in because corporate-heads halted all new hires! Such a professional touch aye. Talk about corporate professionalism. Better off not working for those jerks!
Then I found this interesting story that puts a smile on my face. In spite of the number of radio stations and newspapers going out of business there is a cable access channel doing local programming and even have a evening news hour. They have as much professional production and presentation as your regular local station and has a rate card ranging from $150 to $900 a month for one to four, 30 second placements per month.
So, what I’m getting at is, if a local cable access channel can keep the local advertisers happy with professionally produced advertising in their evening newscasts and other programs, here is a perfect match for those starting a Voice Over career to team up with and get paid for your work and build your roster of clients as well as business experience and honing your craft.
This I believe is an overlooked VO source that should be tapped into.
