  SCREW HIM. Makes me want to work twice as hard. And if he’s so good, why would he return to work by asking for another take? he should have nailed it in one. Eff ‘im!

  as my wife always reminds me , there is some truth in all humor. Phillip’s video makes me laugh but , oddly , I never once considered getting out of the voiceover business. Maybe i just don’t get it !! ( LOL)

  Wellllll….hello Mr. Fancy Pants! I suppose for your next trick you’re gonna say that there’s too many radio announcers walking the planet.

  Does this mean we get the “starving artist” tax credit?

  I’m looking that one up on-line now. And a timely reminder to get the demo reels off to the COI!

  …. there are a lot of restaurants, hotels, cars, soda brands, beer brands, etc… and everyone has a favorite at different times of their life. You control your business… self-promote… best way of getting work where you live & in cyberspace!

  I agree with Phillip. And, more to the point… if these tired old-timers like Phillip Banks don’t retire and start collecting their social security, we’ll never make it.

  Hilarious, especially in the context of the current VO class we are taking!

  If he gives me that knowing wink once more, I’m going to England to kick his ass……

  What’s w/ the red swollen eyes…does he ALWAYS hit the bong before going to work?

  Banksy is a true professional and a giant in our industry. The fact that some people can’t recognize the humor makes his “plea” even funnier. Besides… what would be wrong with having more cab drivers that can actually speak English?

  Some say that ‘British humor’ is often based on ‘understatement.’
  This plea to weed out the competition for work was superb! If it doesn’t motivate you to work with greater dedication and passion, then you didn’t get it.
