Today I have installed a plugin on my website called ‘SpeakPipe’. It’s a service where you can send me a voice message through my actual website. It will be particularly useful if you’ve sent me a script which needs a couple of pronunciation explanations, maybe an unusual company name, technical/medical terms, unfamiliar jargon etc. All…

Why Maude In Accounts Should Stick To Her Own Job
At times, I just don’t understand some people. On the odd occasion, a client or prospect will come to me enquiring about having a voiceover recorded for a video they’re producing.

Recent Client: Morrisons Supermarket
This is the end product of a job I recently voiced for Morrisons. It shows off plans to redevelop a plot of land just outside of London; building a new supermarket with adjoining Premier Inn hotel next door. This video is to demonstrate the positive impact this regeneration will have on the local area, being…

He was a living legend in the voiceover world; appeared on radio, television, countless adverts let alone all the corporate gigs he would have voiced…
Pronunciation Is Everything
It’s amazing how your mind tells you you’re hearing something completely different, even though you’re not – which goes to show that clear pronunciation and annunciation is absolutely key to getting your message across if you take a look at the below video! It’s a great little commercial for KMart in the US, and by…
Mobile Voiceover Recording With The RØDE iXY
A couple of months ago I bought the RØDE iXY microphone. But alas I only received it yesterday due to the new shipment coming in direct from Australia! Everything about it looked so positive – it’s size, portability, the fact it comes with a windshield and a hard zip carry case, attaches directly to the…
