  • 02:25:00 I started pursuing VO in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic, and I was starting to make some progress - I was freelancing with an agent, auditioning a bit (managed to book exactly two gigs - a podcast and a Netflix dubbing), and was ready to record a demo and create my website. But, then I had a baby, and VO fell to the back burner. Additionally, the agent I was freelancing with left the agency, and while it was confirmed that they would keep my info and send me any relevant auditions, I haven't received an audition since the agent left. All that to say that I've kind of fallen off the VO train. My daughter is now almost two, and I'm itching to give VO a shot again, but I feel like I don't know where to start. Any advice?
