why you didn't win the audition

Let’s face it.

Most voice-over jobs you audition for, you will never get, and you’ll never know why.

If you can’t live with that… too bad. Nobody cares, and there’s no rejection protection program.

Most people can’t accept the fact that they will never learn the answer to the question WHY.

If you are one of those people, this is for you.

YOU DIDN’T WIN THE AUDITION BECAUSE…

you’re more of the same
you’re a one-trick pony
you need a lot of hand-holding
your audio is awful
your attitude is even worse
you’re insecure, overconfident, or unresponsive
your fee is too low, or too high to be taken seriously
you’re high-maintenance
your website looks unprofessional
your demo is sub-standard
you’re ungrateful
you feel entitled
you want the glory but refuse to do the legwork
you’re undisciplined and unreliable
you can’t take direction: you love to talk but cannot listen
you were too late: the casting director picked voice #7 while you were last in line
you take suggestions as criticism
you can’t handle the workload, and cannot meet deadlines
you sound like the casting director’s ex-boyfriend or -girlfriend
you don’t have the right connections
your family is not the best judge of your talent
you never give referrals but you love to be recommended
you’re a copycat, not an original
you signed an NDA, and yet you bragged about the job on Facebook
you’re clearly using a fake accent
you can’t follow simple audition instructions
you didn’t wow the client in the first seven seconds
you’re too much in love with the sound of your own voice
your agent loves you, but the client hates you
you were born in the wrong body: you’re a man and the client wants a woman or vice versa
you sound too young, too old, or like you don’t care
you’re trying too hard
you didn’t audition because you were afraid you’d fail
you’re in it for the money
you spend too much time reading blogs, and not enough time on marketing and training
