Vox Daily The Official Voices.com Blog

I'm not a big fan of IVR/PBX Prompts gigs. It takes too much time to record and edit. However, I just finished with a large Prompt job. After English to Spanish translation, recording and editing 1.700 audio files, I made some $eriou$ bucks to buy some studio toys ;)

And of course, this is a recurring client I found about a year ago thanks to Voices.com!

Hi Stephanie,

I landed a job yesterday for "Perfect Princess Cut Diamonds", a national television campaign. It took weeks for them to finally decide on a voice, but Angela with Dphilms Imaging Services (the producers of the project) was really pulling for me and even had a portion of the spot produced with my voice to help sell me to the client. I've never worked with dphilms before but it's nice to have someone in your corner... I hope to work with them again in the future.

I asked if they could just pay me with one of the diamond rings... (it's really a stunning looking cut and I'm sure my wife would enjoy it)... no word yet.... but I'm not holding my breath. I asked something similar on a job I did for Bertram Yachts a while back... no luck there either. :)

Ok, let's see...diamond gig, huge prompt gig...depression?

Don't think I'm going to win the citius, altius, and fortius contest with this one!!

Perusing the table of contents:

Symptoms of Depression...
Psychotic Depression...
Anti-Depressant Drugs Don't Cure Depression...

YIKES!! Have done a couple of oddball audio books, but this one might take the cake! Wait, there was that one last year about cake decorating that gave me major munchies...!!

Just did
*another VO for national infomercial for Glamour Eyes,
*Voiced an online legal software site that I can't say more about because I signed confidentiality agreement.
*Phone system

And YIKES! In the... "fell off the balance beam" department... I was offered VO in a Billy Graham TV special to air nationally in September(I did one last Dec.) I took too long to respond to email while at VOICE 2008... and they ended up having to use someone else! How I WISH I'd takent time to check email...cos they they had a free voice booth there at VOICE 2008! But I blew it!

Scored a web series narration through Voices.com called The SpotLab. It follows up and coming directors creating their reel on their own money in 3 months to be critiqued by the major ad agencies. It's a great series that shows what goes on in the director's mind and all the "stuff" they have to control. Good info so you as a talent can make their job and yours easier. There's about 5 episodes up currently.
