| every other city we go, every other video, no matter where i go, i see the same ho |
| I wish i worked in a casting agency so I could comment with a bit of hands-on knowledge. But anyway I'm of the opinion - I think someone else mentioned it above - that when it comes to just pretty faces, there is no excuse to show us the same face repeatedly. In a nation of such beautiful women, are there really only 14 girls worthy of appearing in ads? As for voices, there i will be a bit more understanding because once a company happens on 'the voice' for its ad campaign, they are usually loathe to part with it. However i believe Sylvaine should only have been used for Cell C. What is the sense in using her instantly recognisable voice for something else? What Sylvaine must do is change her voice for each job she gets. The brand power woman can change her voice completely i have heard her doing different ads and only just been able to recognise its her, mosttimes doubting myself. Bottom line - we don't want to know its obviously you, we want to hazard a guess or not know at all. After all its what voice artists are expected to do - change their voices to suit the product. But anyway I don't accept seeing the same pretty boys and girls over and over. 42 million people and only 14 of them are good looking enough to be in front of the camera? I agree that talent also need to step to the fore. They shd not be intimidated by those who are already on radio or tv after all those ppl were once upon a time also just everyday ppl. Talent, sign up at agencies pronto. I believe ppl are not signing up - consider the number of ads talent agencies place everywhere "Do you want to be on TV?' etc etc. For so many of them to be constantly advertising for talent means...no one is signing up. |
