Using Skype as a phone patch in voiceover

Here’s a little of  my experience with using Skype for phone patch sessions

 

A Myth About Pay-To-Play Voiceover websites

Let’s talk briefly about one of the common myths regarding Pay-to-Play websites in the voiceover industry:

 

 

Trackmaster by Equibase VO

You know that Spring is close when jobs like this start coming in….here’s one for the Trackmaster by Equibase…it’s an Iphone/Android app for racehorse handicapping….and they’re off!

Thanks to my colleagues at Dynamix Productions for the opportunity to voice this project!

 

 

Ted the Golden Voice A Year Later

Yep, it was at about this time a year ago that the VO world and the world in general
was abuzz about the story of Ted Williams, who went from the streets to the studio
literally overnight.

Here’s an update on how he’s doing today. I think you’ll see that Ted, while not perfect, seems
to be a genuinely nice guy and I hope he continues to make progress and have success

Rob Ellis Voiceover Holiday Happy Hour 2011

Thanks to everyone who helped make the Rob Ellis Voiceover Holiday Happy Hour 2011 a success! It has been so busy since then that this is really the first chance I’ve had to post.

This was my first attempt at something like this. I’m always open to any suggestions you may have about how to increase attendance at next year’s event, such as location, time, time of year, etc.

Thanks again!

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital video

It’s great to be doing more work with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Mills Films.

This video is my third with this great organization. I hope to do many more!

Excited as a schoolboy

Wow, I am excited to be the voice of Hocking College’s current ad campaign….here
is the commercial….

A Vital Project

I was fortunate to recently voice part of an ad campaign for Columbusregion.com.

It was great to work with the good folks at Vital Film Works on this one!

Here is the end result:

Search engines need a voice, too!

I recently did a voiceover job for a search engine based in Tampa/St. Petersburg, XL411.com

(the video is to the right when you get to their website)

Given that the XL411.com “mascot” is the animated character BINX…does this qualify as my first animation job? Hmmm…

Making My Pitch

In voiceover, we are always making some kind of a pitch, aren’t we?
We make a pitch to the potential client, and then that client, if they
hire us, has us make a pitch to his/her client…and on and on….

But this recent job took “making a pitch” to an entirely new level for me…..
