I voiced this trailer for an Amazon Video apocalypse flick called “The Last” a while ago. So it’s, you know, FUN! Just recently heard back from the client that it was finally greenlighted. Such is Hollywood, or Atlanta, or wherever they’re making movies these days. Which is just about everywhere as production companies and studios seek out higher incentives and lower taxes.

I drove Ford trucks for years while I was in high school and college. Life and responsibility dictated that I transition into passenger cars that could accommodate a car seat for babies and little kids. A Bronco could have served both purposes. It was a blast working on this voiceover project for Ford as they re-introduce the iconic Bronco with the help of none other than Jay Leno. The segment I voiced is at 6:24.
You can record audio files for each participant on a Zoom call. It’s great for when you want to import each participant’s file into a DAW session and process tracks individually.
Send your vocal track to your music track inside a compressor to allow the vocals and the music to sit in the mix together. It’s like the “pumping” effect used in music when you have a kick drum bringing down the overall music level in order to stand out.
Mark Winn is a peaceful warrior. He’s a calm, present, wise person who is always ready for anything due to his awareness and his philosophy of “concept over technique” which means you must understand the why before you can master the what. He’s a instructor in the Israeli martial art of krav maga. He’s an author, a motivational speaker, and an entrepreneur. His new book is called “Not A Victim But A Warrior”.
Attention VO peeps, language nerds and anthropology enthusiasts. On this side of the pond we don’t always think about the many accents present in the speaking patterns of folks in Britain as well as Scotland and Ireland. But in this video, Siobhan Thompson gives examples of many of them including some celebrities and where their accent originated. I found this while researching a specific British accent. In VO, you often have to nail a regional dialect to have any shred of authenticity. Videos like this are extremely helpful. Plus, it’s fun and fascinating!
The Northerners, the brother-sister team of Justin Khoury and Ally Khoury, talk about their recently-released self-titled album that they’ve been working on for several years. They play an acoustic tune and we hear a track from the new record.
One reason I love being a voice actor is that you come in contact with so many interesting people and subjects. You get to learn so much about stuff you might not otherwise. Synack is a world leader in cybersecurity. In order to be the best at what they do they send their professional hackers that look for vulnerabilities in their software to hacking competitions around the world. They want only the best on their team. I didn’t even know that was a thing!

The producer on this project for Battleface Travel Insurance wanted a movie trailer delivery with a little self-awareness and a touch of tongue-in-cheekiness. Far be it from me to miss out on a chance to be movie trailer guy.
