Agents? Agents? We Don’t Need No Stinking Agents! (or DO we?)

I’ve done voice work for over 40 years and have only tried an agent a couple of times, seemed to have been lucky for a lot of years. But now, with the web full of “talents” with a computer and a couple of hundred bucks (maybe) in software … Everybody is a Voice Talent! Agents? Agents? most I’ve spoken to are either rookies or with established Agencies that the First question they ask is
“How much are you making now?” After your answer the reply is “Oh, sorry we don’t take on anybody making less than SIX Figures, but thanks for the call.”
Pal, Buddy, Chief… IF I was knocking down SIX Figures .. I wouldn’t be calling You!!!
So how do you get signed? How do you not end up at the bottom of their list of 300-500 voices? It seems their top tier of 5 voices are the same ones we’ve hears for the last 10 years. How do you make it happen? Got any magic solutions? Any Tick of the Trade up your sleeve? Let me know. I’ll kiss your aaaaaand furthermore the clients should have a chance at someone with a new read!
