Welcome to the January 2007 RAP CD! We get started with the voice demo from this month's interview subject, voice-over maven and coach, Joan Baker. We get some great commercial work on tracks 2 through 11. Track 6 is from Glenn Cook in the little town of Newberry, MI, who takes on the national agency for a motor speedway and wins. Glenn notes: "...I saved the client a ton of money by doing spots locally instead of them going through a national agency that only offered to do two spots. It proved to be their biggest season ever! I did sixteen weeks for them and they want me to do it exclusively for them again next year. They didn't know there was a guy that could do it in the area until I contacted them and sent them a demo."
Promos are on tracks 12 through 27. Track 14 from Ian Fish features VO work from Davinia Palmer as mentioned in Ian's Q It Up response on page 18. Track 16 from Chris Potter features Keith Urban interview excerpts acquired a few months ago, just before he entered rehab. Chris notes: "That little interview turned to gold. Almost all of the promotions for Keith's album had been halted because of his going into rehab, but we were able to snag the CD before it was out in stores." And we wrap things up with some comic relief on tracks 28 through 30. Steve Franzman says about track 30: "One day I started wondering if this is what spots will sound like in 30 years."
