I was thinking about some of the voiceover jobs I’ve recorded over the past 10+ years and started searching to see whether some of them were available on YouTube (obviously many things I do are internal business audio, telephone audio etc. so never make it to a public video site). However, I found this training video I recorded a few years ago for Rebel Nails.
I remember soon after recording it that my sister called and asked me about it. Apparently she’d been to a salon to get her nails done and they were playing it while doing her nails. Not the relaxing, escape-from-it-all experience she’d been expecting!
It’s funny where these things can crop up. My other sister texted me recently and said she’d been having a shower and suddenly heard my voice on the radio telling her about the local Balti restaurant. And I’ve had the same experience with one of my colleagues whose voice has followed me across the world (she was the voice of Otis lifts for many years) – there’s nothing more distracting than arriving at your holiday hotel to find your friend telling you what floor to get off at!
Anyway, with all the voiceovers I’ve recorded over the years I’m sure I can find a few more, if you’re interested. I’ll post them here as I find them.
P.S. I had no idea what wrapping nails was until I recorded this
I use headphones a lot in my business…I use them when I’m voicing, I use them for editing audio, I use them when I’m making screencapture videos and podcasts, and naturally I use them for listening to videos and audio online. For a long time my main set of headphones at home have been a…
Note: I wrote this post over a week ago and have been thinking about writing it for ages. I finally decided that I’d publish it on my personal blog so if I’m going to take flak for it, I’ll take it as me and not under the heading of one of my businesses I have…
I’d love to say that I record national TV ads every week, but unfortunately it just ain’t so. Which means I’m pretty excited about my new TV commercial for the uDraw Game Tablet for the Wii: It came out today so naturally I have already found a version on YouTube.
Today’s question was asked by Graham Hunt and he was actually being a little facetious when he asked “When are you going to start doing video, Lisa?” I’ve been creating and using video online for years because it’s a fantastic way to get high quality backlinks and targeted traffic, as well as create tutorials that…
Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends across the pond. I hope you have a wonderful day eating yummy food and appreciating all the wonderful things you have. Of course, here in Plymouth is where it all started (kind of), so I thought I’d share a few fun facts you might not know about Plymouth and…
Thanks for the questions so far (see 30 Days of Truth: The Verdict), I’ll attempt to answer as many of them as possible (well, not the ones about IM Gurus – I’m so over them!). The first question I’ll answer came from Karen Kramer: “With all the many hats you wear, how do you ever…
In September, I interviewed Graham Hunt about The Secrets to Working and Making a Living in Spain. While the resource was written about Spain the majority of it can be applied to working anywhere in the world and being location independent. Graham offered his subscribers the chance to ask questions and has just published him…
