Description

Hey there, hero!

There are great MeetUp groups (like our beloved Voices Anonymous here in LA)...

...and then there are MeetUp groups that are not so great.

I know they meant well, but still...

Joining a MeetUp group, creating content to be used in a VO demo and sharing among members is possibly the worst strategy I've ever heard.

And I got invited to participate in this voyage...by that site's algorithm.

I doubt they could have asked a worse candidate to join their merry MeetUp menagerie.

The group organizer, I hope, was just trying to help. But he didn't even specify which VO demo was to be built for the members.

Sigh.

So...other than that...what did you do to put together your first writing sample, on-camera reel or VO demo? Let me know in the comments below.

REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil.
