It all started with some Facebook casting calls. Didn't think much about it, but thought of trying the kiddos out for fun.
So Girl and Boy went for castings with two different recording studios.
Girl had her first job in February 2015 for some Disney Princess TV ad. It was an exciting experience. She managed to get parts in 5 different scripts. The director was very patient in guiding her line by line, with the proper inflections and diction.
We only managed to catch one of the 5 ads she did, though. And that entailed sitting in front of the TV for a while, with camera ready to shoot.

Boy had two V/O jobs in end-2015 and early-2106. One was a TV ad for a Baby toiletry brand, which we managed to find a recording for many months later.
Another was a CNY radio ad ... we were sitting in a dentist waiting room when we heard it come on the speakers. Mummy acted like a sua-ku dungu when I dropped everything and raised my phone up to the ceiling to try to record the ad.

Then the two of them had a recording for an educational programme — reading words and phrases to teach kids English.
So the recording experiences have been quite varied.
And there have been jobs that they have tried for but didn't get.
And while they won't get rich through it, they've been enjoying the ride.
Hopefully there will be more such opportunities to come.
