your disposable demo reel


The number of times I’ve cast off of a voice actor’s demo is zero. And the number of times I've been cast off my demo reel is equally zero. Unless you listen to it now. (Shameless self-promotion.)

The only reason to produce a voice demo is to get an agent so it’s a good thing to do. 

And then your agent posts it on their website which makes them feel good about what they do. 

But it’s like a young copywriter spending months or years on his portfolio of spec ads to get a job so he can put the damn thing away. On the other hand, your voice demo can live on, right next to your name on the agent’s website. I guess it’s more proof that you exist on this planet, at least as a professional voice actor.
