Hi there, my name is Crispin Freeman, and I'll be your guide through the world of voice acting.

If you'd like to know more about me, feel free to check up my personal website at www.com.

For this episode, I thought I would play some more of the voicemail questions that I've been getting for my listeners and do my best to answer them.

For those who don't know, in episode 28, I gave out a phone number where you can call in and leave me a question as a voicemail.

From time to time, I'll pick the most relevant questions I receive and answer them here on the podcast.

Let's get started.

Let's answer some questions from you,

our listeners. Hey Kristen, this is Taylor Wallace from Bartstown, Kentucky. First of all, I really appreciate that you take the time to put this podcast up for everyone. I take that as a true

testament to how much you care for your fans, and I find all the information fascinating.

My question concerns demos, which you spoke of early on in the podcast, as well as in episode 28.

I'm wondering how you showcase your character voices, particularly for the first demo.

Do you make up your own character and lines to speak,

or should you try and imitate pre-established characters from shows that companies and agents

are familiar with? Thanks.

Thank you, Taylor, for your kind words. I'm always happy to talk to people who are trying

to find their way into the industry as a working professional. I'm glad my podcast
