The fine folks at Digitas informed me that Comcast has directed all agencies that create advertising for them, that they MUST use me for all union spots.  Its a career first for me and I couldn’t be more gratified and thankful.  As all VO talents know, its very rare to be guaranteed work beyond today.

I know you other voice talents…and quite a few producers have heard the old joke about the four stages of an Actor’s/Voice Talent’s career that says:

“1. Who is Carl Bishop? 2. Get me Carl Bishop 3. Get me  someone who sounds like Carl Bishop 4. Who is Carl Bishop?”

Well, It seems I’m entering the best stage:  Stage two!   Last week an agency called me directly and asked if I would be available to read more Comcast spots. After saying “yes” fast as I could, I asked the agent how they got my name.   “Well the client (Comcast) asked for you.  They said don’t bother casting.  Carl is your guy. He was so good and easy to work with”.

You see, I thought I had lost that gig after choosing my honeymoon over more work in early January, but it just goes to show if you show up and do a great job, people really do appreciate it and remember you.

I’m now the voice of Comcast/Xfinity for their holiday campaign featuring Shaq and my voice at the end of the spot.  Click HERE to view.

I played the role of Joe Gillis in a parody of Sunset Boulevard for modern times.  Hear me overcome Norma Desmond’s despicable-ness with my treachery-ness!!  You may also hear a bad impersonation of Donald Trump.   Thats me too.  Enjoy!  Click on the Studio360 logo in the carousel above or navigate to demos>narrations.
