Voiceover recording at home

Technology is a double edged sword. It can do the most amazing things, and it can waste a lot of your time. How many hours have we all spent trying to sort out why a computer programme no longer works after upgrading to the latest OS? A mobile phone can be a blessing and a curse too.…

New Voiceover for Indian Festivals series

Well it’s that time again! Another script arrived from India, which after a bit of tweeking should read ok. There are a lot of very difficult words and places to pronounce again, so wish me luck as I toil away in my vocal booth! I should be an expert on India by now – maybe…

Voiceover for the U.S.A

Off to do a Voiceover for the States this afternoon via a live link. Looks like I’m going to be playing a sports commentator, so will be going into my best David Coleman impersonation! And surely now………!

Sometimes it’s more about Art……..

So you get an email from a film student who is making a ‘short’ which he is entering into a Film Festival. He’d like you to do the voiceover. As much as we’d all like our voices to be out there and earning us a fortune, sometimes it’s nice just to remember we all start…

A week in voiceovers

I’ve had some pronunciation challenges in my time, but this one took the digestive. I’ve also been quite…

Voiceover auditions online

Well it’s a very fast world isn’t it? I recorded about 5 online audition voiceovers today, sent them off, and within about 5 minutes I get a message from Emily in San Francisco saying she loves the recording, and asking whether I have ISDN for live linking directly to the States. Luckily via my good…

And another one down!

Just finished the latest Voiceover for the Indian Festivals TV series – quite challenging with all the different pronunciations of place names and religious idols! Real tongue twisters. It’s a series of 15 episodes I believe, so there’s still another 9 or 10 to go. It certainly makes me feel I’d like to see the…

Voiceover for India

Well I’ve just recorded and edited the latest voiceover for Indian TV about their many festivals. The translation was initially very poor, so it went back, returned, sent back again, and finally I got something I could work with. After a bit of editorial myself, it was all recorded and sent off within a few…
