Demos

Season 1, Ep. 4
•

Welcome to The VO Breakfast Show! In this episode, our hosts Carin Gilfry and Jamie Muffett discuss the topic of voiceover demos. Demos are an important tool in the voiceover industry, as they showcase a talent's range and abilities. But when should you pay for your first demo? How do you choose a demo producer? Should a demo be real work or original content? And how much should a demo cost?


Carin and Jamie tackle these questions and more, providing valuable insights and advice for voiceover artists at any stage of their career. They discuss the pros and cons of paying for a demo versus creating your own, and offer tips for finding a reputable demo producer who can help you create a demo that truly represents your skills and strengths. They also delve into the debate over whether a demo should consist of real work or original content, and offer their opinions on which approach is most effective.


Whether you're just starting out in the industry or you're a seasoned pro looking to update your demo, this episode has something for everyone. So grab a cup of coffee and tune in to The VO Breakfast Show! And don't forget to check out VOcationConference.com for more resources and information on the voiceover industry.
