Voiceovers

Jules

I'm in a strange position at the moment... I'm an elearning developer by day and, as some you will know, I produce music in my spare time and do a bit of sound recording for amateur films.

So, whilst I'm not a professional... I do know a lot about sound and I'm pretty good at it.

For my day job I often record podcasts and voiceovers, and I've learned how to make my voice sound quite good.  So much so, that I'm  often asked where I got the elearning voiceovers done... And my answer is simply 'I did it', which people can barely believe as it doesn't sound like me at all.

However, I'd like to improve further and maybe get to a point where I can expand my repertoire and do some bespoke recordings for others.

My style is smooth, relaxing and seams to work well for instructional videos.

Anyone interested in sharing ideas, recordings and tips?

Send me some examples. I often use VO and would be nice to have another option.

There has never been an easier time to establish yourself as VO artist. There are a ton of websites now that will list your services and get you bookings. You'll need to do your own recordings as per the clients brief and then supply but someone of your talents will find it easy enough.

Sure.  I'll rustle something up this evening.

The work stuff is probably a bit commercially sensitive but I'll revise some scripts and record them again.

If you have any of your own scripts I'll happily give them a go too.

In addition to the short sample above, I've recorded a couple of longer samples.  One in the style of a nature documentary, and an other a radio commercial.  I just found a couple of scripts online and tweaked them slightly.

Let me know what you think.
