Nothing much to tell, I'm a wacky voice actor with lots of free time! Just wish that free time was geared toward more voice work XD

A VO's Worst Nightmare

Posted by Jim-Nickabocker - July 3rd, 2012


Well it HAD to happen when I was on a good run. Late night Friday a severe thunderstorm rocked the East Coast, leaving millions without power. Not just in my home state, but in others too! Needless to say, I was in the middle of recording lines for one of a couple of projects I was involved in. But in a split second, all my work was gone, and I can't get back to work until my power is restored. It's terribly frustrating because I know I was picking up momentum in acquiring voice roles. Now I'm left lazing about the house, sweating up a storm, waiting for the power to come back... it's been five days.

I knew there was going to be ups and downs once I started to pursue voice overs... but this is ridiculous! Regardless, I'm staying focused and as soon as the power comes back, I'm going back to work. In the meantime, I'm using the local public library and my iPhone to stay in contact with friends and update my voice over associates. I'm certainly looking forward to the power coming back, it's been a horrible five days. On top of that, I've been replaced in some projects... even after that something tells me, it's not done yet.. ;.;

I can't say I've had a similar experience (although the power went out one time while I was playing a game and didn't save, does that count?), but I'm sure the situation stinks.

Hope it all works out for you.

hehe thanks so much, yea it's a tad worse than that but hey, I lived. Was just MAJOR uncomfortable and unable to VO XP

Ack. I definitely hope that ends up getting resolved very soon. I've been really glad to see you starting to get established in online VO.

Thanks so much man, I'm happy to finally be a bit more up and coming! Never give up never surrender!
