Constant Advertising

Voice work does entail advertising. If you want to get work, you have to let the prospective employers know that you're out there looking for work. Only the immensely fortunate Ted Williams who was one day a struggling homeless man and the next a successful voice talent avoided the costs of advertising. I was advertising on Facebook and Google but have recently had to pause one due to rising costs.
During this time of a slow economy, one must weigh the cost benefit of advertising. If the yield in jobs gained there through isn't justified by the monies spent on advertising, a compromise must be made. I've had to make that compromise. Evenso, advertising must continue until I like Ted have been discovered.

Up, Up, and Away!

I'm confident that when the economy rises, there will be more work for voice talents. It does matter what shape the economy is in. If things are slow in the economy then businesses will forgo advertising. Creators of shows and plays and audio tours will hold their funds and wait before they launch anything new. Voice talents are used in advertising, plays, audio tours, etc. We (voice talents) have to get work however we can until work is more easily found.
It looks though that the tide of job creation is rising. Business owners are starting to advertise again and hire again. Yea for the economy! It's coming back and yea for us voice talents, it won't be long before there will be a script on every music stand.
