Audition for "Futurama" ?

UH UH....no way. Billy West, Katy Sagal and Mau LaMarche and the others brought these characters to life....as long as they can do it....they should be the cast.

What are we doing to help each other? Share how your VU family members have lifted you up.

This community has made a team sport out of what was a very solitary career.
So take a minute and share how a fellow VU member has helped you get a gig, opened a door, referred you to an agent or saved your butt when the chips were down.
I'll be the first on the gratitude dancefloor.....hmmm where do I start?

thanks Zurek for VU and for lettin' a white guy take a gig off your pile! :-)
Dave Hoffman.....thanks for hiring me so many times. and for bein' a bud.

Yesterday my Pal Pal balance was negative $1250. The buyer had revoked the payment. His bank took back the money. Now any payments to my PayPal account will go… Continue
