Oh wow, oh cool!

I just talked to the A/V guys that taped my voice reading off a list of neighborhood names for an exhibition here. They told me that my voice was the only one they didn't have to edit at all. (And my coworkers who volunteered for the project are all *very* good speakers.)

They're also told me I should consider getting into the field of voice-acting, and recommended sending tapes around. I haven't a clue where to start, and neither does A/V, really. But the encouragement was really warming. I'm thinking about it. (Couldn't hurt to research it a little, and it could be fun.)

So, anybody got a cartoon character without a voice? Hah? Hmm? Hah? C'mon, somebody, pay me to talk!!! *Jumps up and down*

I might be able to help with that, as I'm trying the same thing on my own.

Lemme eat my lunch, back in a few...

DAMMIT. I replied to you, and it got eaten somewhere. *grump*

I've received a number of suggestions, from "get an agent" to "write something you can record, you idiot."

I have a few voice reels I borrowed from jathomas, who's an animator. And since jimmyether is a professional recording engineer who records voice as part of his day to day job, he's given me some suggestions, too. He's also the one with the studio in his basement (where we record), so I have time.

If I got permission to make a copy, would you want to hear those reels?

YAY YOU!!! That'd be so cool... keep us informed as you research, if you don't mind... I wouldn't mind seeing what's available in this area too... :)

I'll put up whatever I find. A friend already had a good recommendation for a production studio not far from where I live. Ooooh.

[paradoxicalsoul.livejournal.com]
