My latest animation work ;) https://vimeo.com/46476665

Working on copy for my first VO Animation Demo, any tips?

I apologize if there was already a post on this (after several minutes of searching I didn't find anything), but I am wondering if anyone has advice on breaking into Anime? I am not in anyway limiting myself to this one area, but I have been told I fit the young hero archetype well. From what I hear, there are really only a few dominate anime production companies in the U.S.; Funimation for one example. I read they only have auditions once or twice a year because they have so much great talent to reuse year after year, using teams to complete several projects over a short time. If this is the case, is the strategy to just keep auditioning until they like you? Or is there someway for someone new to stand out (besides your voice)? Thanks!

Thanks for the connection, James! Cheers, Joe J Thomas www.JoeActor.com www.JoesDump.com

Hey James! I saw your email but my laptop has been malfunctioning lately so I couldn't respond. I checked out your demo reel and you are very talented! I would love to have you on this project! All i'm looking for is an animator for it. Thats pretty much the key component i'll need before moving on with this project so if I find one you will definitely hear from me, i need talent like yours on my team!

Thanks for the connections everyone!
