I bet a lot of you thinking "my Mrs"....... I was pissing about the other day, making a little video advert thingy for you-tube channel.

So I came up with a little cartoon type thingy and needs a voice over

So if any one or anyone or their mrs / sister etc fancy a crack at it let me know and we'll come up with some words for it.

Once I get a "proper" one put together, I want to do some "spoofs" aswell so if you sat watching a silent video of thinking funny things to say jot it down Thumbs Up

Dunno about your video but the triton multi-stand looks useful - video was listed after your completed.. Are they or anything similar available in the UK?

Actually, no I wasn't.

I sound differently when I hear myself talk than when I hear my voice via a recording. I don't mind how I sound day-to-day, unless I have to read outloud or speak formally, then I think I sound northern and common. Laughing

FTFY Thumbs Up

It's weird how your ears work, I never really liked how my voice sounds to me, but on recordings it's somewhat deep and booming.

Hello,

I've done audio books and radio play work in the past. Happy to help. If you have any text yet for it, let me know and I'll do a quick recording for you.

that's because you hear your voice through your ears and because your head bones resonate too. you don't get the resonance on a recording.

Is your imagination - I genuinely want a voice over doing and have contacted members about it. I sound way too northern and common...

the link in first post is to an unpublished video - you wont find it on youtube without the link - theres no audio on the video and its not trying to "sell" you anything.

Its there purely so people can see what they'll be providing a voice over too......

This forum has been the biggest influential input I have had when starting up my business and trying to get it off the ground - ive been able to get advice on end-users, tax, accounts, spreadsheets, in the "early days" forum members where on the site in droves helping me figure out how to set things out so people can find it, telling me what worked what didnt, what looks shit and what doesn't.
The site got re-did and re-did until it resembled something that worked, and looked like a website.

Northern has been the in thing for quite a while now, there's a bucketload of V/Os, continuity announcers and TV/radio personalities, who owe their entire careers to being Northern.

Having said that, a Southern accent could lend some weight to your ad, because of the cheeky, chirpy Cockney builder/plumber/painter/decorator stereotype.

In either case, your business profile of selling affordable tools, lends itself to a V/O that leans more towards the working class accent, as it's recognised as being warm, down to earth and trustworthy.

As for your cartoon, you must have some idea of the script that needs to go with it.

It looks like a storyboard, but I'm buggered if I can follow the story; there's a few obvious cues (the tap, the bulb, the relaxing cuppa by the laptop) and the mega cliche of hammering down prices, but WTF is the cat doing in there?

If you haven't got a script, you at least need a clear idea of what you're trying to put across, just to give a steer to the copy writer; you can cram an awful lot into a 30 second voice only ad, but adding pictures tells most of the story, so you have to choose your words very carefully.

I'd be up for giving it a go. I spend a fair percentage of my everyday speech in various accents and have wanted to try voice acting for a while. I hate the sound of my normal voice recorded though normally, it'd be cool just to read through your script and try out different voices for it.

Those few northerners speak a lot clearer than me lol - I dont know if its just the way you sound to yourself or not but i didnt like it one bit

Yes its sort of story but i just made round a rough idea - it hasnt been made to set words....

I came up with a rough draft of the spoken words and a couple of member are having a go and see how well they fit in and go from there Thumbs Up

If you want a well-known Australian accent, Rolf Harris is probably quite cheap at the moment. He may even accept payment in children.

Northern is good for this sort of thing if not too extreme - sounds down to earth, practical, get job done, think Sean Bean.

You wouldn't want some home counties whine, that would be silly Razz

I like the sound of Sean Bean's voice, and Despite never really seeing northern sounding people overall as proper hard men, he comes across as one tough bastard! Laughing

I watch too many films though, and they are all the same genre!

Tony Hirst or Ralph Ineson would be better for this gig, but they're both too expensive.

I'm the opposite, I think I sound OK when I'm talking but recordings show my voice to be a bit high and dare I say annoying (to me, when I'm listening back to it).

I sound a lot like blahdeblah52 the motovlogger to give an example, (but I'm not him). I dare say I could make a video pretending to be him and carry it off because our voices are so similar.
