Start with a wide search

PromptReplace the 2 ✎ dashed parts with your own details, then copy.
Every morning, search X for posts about voice-acting auditions and gigs (sample, replace with yours), casting a wide net. Send what you find in one email to my email (sample, replace with yours): one line each with the job, the deadline if there is one, and the post link.
