Say, anyone know how to go about pulling together a good audio demo for voice-overs?
cavenessity, mayhaps? I found a casting notice for an audiobook type company, so that could be awesome. I just don't have any recording equipment, much less an idea of what to put on there. I need a microphone, certainly. Hmm, could I record and burn a CD with my Mac Powerbook?
The casting notice is looking for "vocal characterizations, accents, regionalisms, dynamic performances." Which I can do, I just need to figure out how to show that.

From June 19th's Time magazine: Dial M for Mucho Disturbing
No one could ever accuse David Lynch of making sense. The man who created Twin Peaks and has raised $1.6 million to promote the virtues of transcendental meditation is not peddling jarring ringtones for your cell phone at $4 a pop. Available starting this week on davidlynch.com - a site that also features the director, complete with pompadour, delivering daily weather reports - the so-called strangetones range in freakitude from a childlike voice repeating "My teeth are bleeding" to an overlord-type voice growling "I...like...to...kill...deer." Another ringtone, which consists of high-pitched screeching that sounds not unlike fingernails on a chalkboard, is aptly named Angst. Can't wait to hear that one go off in movie theaters.
