Blog

When part of your work is recording corporate and explainer video voiceovers you can discover quite a range of things  you previously had no idea existed.

For example non slip tennis courts; a special plastic used in photovoltaic cells; an iphone app that controls wood burning stoves; how to decommission wind turbines; a machine that measures human body resonant frequencies; how to turn a conservatory into an extra room; a water distribution and sewerage company in the desert in the UAE and finding out how to drive fancy VW cars over rocky terrain – you name it I’ve done the voice over!.

I hope these blog posts give a flavour of the more interesting voiceover stuff that sometimes comes my way – plus some of the other things I like that I’ve come across in those moments when I’m waiting for the next script to arrive!

It’s been a very busy time in my voice over studio over the last few weeks with me recording quite a wide variety of VO jobs from video narrations, elearning projects and phone messages. A while ago I recorded a large quantity of voiceovers for B&Q to be used as part of their health and safety training for their store and warehouse staff. I’ve just been asked to add some read more

In recent months I seem to have been asked to provide quite a lot of voiceovers for medical or pharmaceutical projects.  Scripts for these kinds of jobs always seem to have plenty of polysyllabic words to give your tongue and facial muscles a good workout. For example a recent script contained a sentence that included  words referring to: “the pathophysiology of both drug-induced and congential coagulopathies”. Another fairly typical sentence read more

I’ve just provided a voiceover narration to a video project for Alstom – the electric power transmission equipment manufacturer. The voice-over was recorded in the dVoiceBox studio and is the second project I’ve been involved with for the company. Once again the video is being produced by IQ Media and describes an impressive electricity transmission project Alstom have just been involved with in Brazil. The project involved the company developing read more

I’ve been missing out on the sunny weather as a result of being too busy recording a range of voiceovers in my studio booth. The recent varied range of voiceovers has included radio commercials, video narrations, IVR messages and an e-learning programme. I’ve just recorded a narration for an animated video explaining how the Altiom system allows various items of equipment in a home to be automated or controlled remotely read more

I’ve just recently started working with audio production company Spark Audio and have recorded a couple of voiceover ISDN sessions with them. My first job with Spark was for a radio ad for  Connect FM. After the recording I realised the voice over also made some connections for me.  For a start Spark Audio are based in Canvey Island in Essex – the county in which I was born and read more

Most of my voice over work consists of video narrations for corporate projects but from time to time I get asked to provide voiceovers for commercials.  Talking to some other voice over artists it seems that this scenario is quite common: you’re in the booth doing a session, you’ve done a couple of takes, everyone in the control room quite likes what you’re doing but they just wonder if you read more

The weather outside may have turned warm and sunny here in the UK but I’ve been inside in my voice  over booth providing a voiceover narration on a video for something that’s definitely more associated with the winter and cold weather. The video in question is being produced by Lydstudiet Aros in Denmark and is for wood burning stove manufacturer Aduro.  The VO narration was helping to explain their new read more

It has been a busy and varied few weeks in my voiceover booth – I’ve recorded voiceover narrations, adverts and also some e-learning projects. I’ve just used my ISDN connection to hook up with Voiceovers.co.uk to record a narration for a short video encouraging potential science under-graduates to consider applying to the Earth Sciences department at Cambridge University. When I’m recording on my own I often have to consult the read more
