[Avid-L2] OT: Is it time for a career change?

 

Today I got a call from someone at a production company while I was busy at work.  I said I'd call back but after a short time they called back.  I had some time and we started to talk.  The persons name sounded familiar and he said a friend had worked with me before and recommended me.  We started to talk and he told me he had an hour show for a cable channel and it had 20 VOs.  I thought it strange to tell the online guy how many VO's but so be it.  The conversation continued for a couple minutes with him telling me they'd tried some in house guys but they weren't edgy enough.  I figured they wanted to jazz things up.  It finally dawned on me that he was looking for a Voice Over talent.  Somehow he had gotten my number mixed up and thought I was either a VO guy or a VO agent.  We both had a good laugh.  Turns out he had tried to get me for online work last year but it didn't work out.  Oh well time to add VO talent to the ever increasing
Preditor list of skills.  I wonder it they ask most VO guys if they know final cut and After Effects.  ;-)
