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!

New voiceover for elearning training course

New voiceover for elearning training course

 April 2, 2012
I’ve just delivered the audio for an elearning voiceover for Disney.  It’s part of a programme of training for their UK based staff in the standards of conduct they need to use when dealing with customers and other businesses. The only disappointment for me was that I got the job finished before my new microphone arrived. I’ve just made the leap into “mic-as- investment-territory” and bought a Neumann U87.  It’s read more

Corporate voiceover linking tomatoes to rockwool!

Corporate voiceover linking tomatoes to rockwool!

 March 28, 2012
I’ve just recorded a corporate voiceover explaining the sustainable cultivation processes used by growers of tomatoes in the Netherlands. It seems these days they don’t use soil in their greenhouses – instead tomatoes are grown in “stone wool” – a spun mineral product made from volcanic basalt. Growers prefer it as a growth and cultivation medium it because it allows much greater control of the flow of water and nutrients read more

Unusual and brilliant way to play the guitar!

Unusual and brilliant way to play the guitar!

 March 22, 2012
Well a week and a half of heavy cold followed by sinusitis has brought my voiceover work to a complete standstill. Whilst the inability to work has been really frustrating I have used the time to check out some interesting things on the internet. Coming soon I’ll post my research into the right microphone for voice artists – but first here’s another musical interlude. I’ve played a guitar for many read more

More musical exploration…

More musical exploration…

 March 14, 2012
I’ve been unable to work due to a heavy cold – so I’ve been distracting myself with some “research ” on the internet. Just found a great singer from Warwickshire who I hadn’t heard of previously called Kel Elliott.  I’m a bass player myself so I’m always interested in people who play on similar or related instruments and I must say Kel is pretty handy on the double bass. Her read more

Voiceover for on-line video about HBO launch in Holland

Voiceover for on-line video about HBO launch in Holland

 March 5, 2012
I’ve just provided the voiceover narration for a short video film showing the launch of the HBO TV channel in Amsterdam, Holland. In the video there are loads of Dutch celebrities on the “blue carpet”.  However I can’t work out if the carpet was blue to support the HBO branding or whether the traditional red carpet has now become a blue one.  Or perhaps the blue carpet is a traditional read more

New voiceover narration for Webtec

New voiceover narration for Webtec

 February 28, 2012
I’ve just been recording a voiceover for some instructions in a video on how to replace safety burst discs in hydraulic testers.  I’ve done VO work for this client before but this was one of those scripts where I felt it might have helped if I’d seen some visuals before recording.  By the end I’m still not quite sure what safety burst discs are, what they look like or exactly read more

Voiceover narration for BMW conference

Voiceover narration for BMW conference

 February 16, 2012
I’ve just been recording a voiceover narration for an on-line video showing the recent Mobility of the Future event. This was a three day event in The Netherlands organised by BMW Group the Netherlands. It’s part of their strategy of repositioning the BMW brand as a “supplier of mobility rather than a automotive supplier”. Not quite sure how that works, or how it’s different, when the exhibits from the the read more

Radio ads voiceover for Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Festival

Radio ads voiceover for Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Festival

 February 6, 2012
I’ve just recorded some more voiceovers for radio adverts promoting this month long cultural event in the UAE. As mentioned in a recent post this is the third year I’ve been chosen as the voiceover for the radio ads for this Festival. Last time we recorded two ads.  This ISDN session was a bit tougher though –  because this time it was decided that a total of 9 ads would read more

Radio Ad Voiceover with hardly any words

Radio Ad Voiceover with hardly any words

 January 25, 2012
I’ve just recorded a radio ad for a phone company where my voiceover script had even fewer words than one that I recorded a few weeks ago where I was providing one side of a conversation and had the words “What?”, “If…”, “But..”,”I…” and “Er…”. This more recent script once again had two voices.  I was Man 2 with these conversational interjections to say: “and?”, “and?”, “and??”, “and??” and “ok”. read more

Revisiting the voiceover for a Uni’s on-line virtual tour

Revisiting the voiceover for a Uni’s on-line virtual tour

 January 25, 2012
I’ve just been back to record voiceovers with the guys at Aston Media at Aston University, Birmingham.  We’ve just been updating the voiceovers on some informational virtual tours for prospective and new students at Aston. Today we were bringing up to date the information on the courses available from the School of Life and Health Sciences.  The script seemed to involve far too many medical and technical terms with far read more
