Hi,
I'm Robert Burton. Actor, Voice Actor, and Comedian. I find most everything in this report to be not true. There are marketing fees associated with almost any awards show - ever hear of the Academy Awards, anyone? This show is no different in that aspect.
You don't simply "purchase" an award. You have to stand out enough in your field to be noticed in the first place. I was able to take my 2 nominations for "Most Hilarious Voice Over (and of course my talent) and use that to get a job as a VO Talent direct for NBC. I have done multiple commercials for NBC, to include 2 internationals that aired during the 2012 Summer Olympics. They are available to view on my IMDB profile.
I am still an up and coming entertainer, however I now make my living as an actor and voice actor full time. Thanks to the LA Comedy Awards, I now also get parts as a comedic actor because Producers see my accolades, training, and my resume and know that I can "bring it".
This report sounds like it was written by somebody who didn't seem to get the most out of their experience with the LA Comedy Awards. To that I can only say: "Look inside yourself and try to do better. Don't blame someone else. It's an opportunity, and everyone gets the same chance to do something great with it."
I know I did.
Thanks again Max!
