My first paying voiceover gig

This is it folks. My first paying gig in voice overs. It's tomorrow at a studio up in Kearny Mesa. It pays $150/hour and is for a nutritional supplement company. (Don't hate me USANA people--I gotta pay the bills somehow! I know, I know; I'm brand spanking new in the business and I've already sold my soul to the devil, right? At least there's no downward spiral to look forward to!)

Also, I'm starting a new class on Saturday given by a woman from up in LA. She's coming down to San Diego for a six week course on improv training. She also happens to be in voiceovers, which is a plus. She said she will give me some tips on getting more business there, too. It's called Pretty Funny Women, and it's a stand-up class only for women. I'm so scared though, because at the end of the class you have to do a stand up act. I'm petrified, but excited all at the same time.

I have several auditions for movies lately, none of them are paying gigs, but there here in San Diego, so it will be great experience for me if I can get hired for one of them. Plus, I'm working with my voiceover partner David and am learning SO much from him. He is really fantastic!

That's all the latest news from my quest to conquer Hollywoodland (via San Diego).
