Tom Poole, of the Twin Cities agency Talent Poole, convinced me to submit an audio sample of me jabbering on in my bored baritone so that I might be hired for voiceover work by clients looking for a different sound.

Those clients exist, he insisted.

When I know for sure where my sample is posted, I’ll share the direct link. Until then, let’s pretend I’m going to become rich and famous. Because I’ve already spent the money.
