My Voice Biz

Been working lots of hours at the part-time radio gig.

Some regular announcers are on holidays so I've been on-air eight days out of the past ten.  But today I'm at home doing some voicework for my own production biz. 

I'm voicing/producing a few sample station id's for a new BC radio station.  Can't give any details cause it's still hush, hush.  And I haven't won the gig yet, so I probably shouldn't be blabbing about it.

My little production studio is actually the closet of my home office.  I have a studio quality microphone and headphones, a voice compressor and production software on my laptop.  To cut out the echo and outside noise, I line the closet walls with huge fluffy blankets.  It works great, although I feel a little goofy, talking to myself in a dark closet.

Since I can't share the audio I've been working on today, I'll give you a sample of an intro I voiced for an American client who delivers internet podcasts about baby making.  True story.  You can hear the intro here.  (This client provides an excellent service for wannabe moms, but I must admit I felt quite strange voicing these lines while sitting all alone in my dark little closet.)

And here's another little audio piece I'm especially proud of. 

Now you can see why I like working from home :)
