FUCKING HELL!
I was asked to provide a recording of a voice sample for a VO job.
They sent me a script, which I recorded and sent back.
Then they complained that the recording didn't sync with the footage.
How the shuddering fuck is anybody supposed to sync to footage they haven't seen?

Alternatively, what would you be having for lunch if Farrah Fawcet was still alive?

Free/Student stuff or paid work?
(I helped save b3ta! Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:38, archived)
Paid work.
I don't do free, and I'm far too old for student stuff.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:40, archived)
How do you get contacted for voice work?

(I helped save b3ta! Tyronne Get To Falkirk, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:48, archived)
Neither.
It's not something I do a huge amount of, probably due to a lack of the options you mentioned. There are a few companies who ask me from time to time, and they'd know me through production/presenting work I've done in the past.

I just answered a online ad for vo work
many years ago mind but I did make it into a game once.
(I helped save b3ta! Tyronne Get To Falkirk, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:51, archived)
which game? do i get to shoot you?

(I helped save b3ta! manolith hooray for me, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:52, archived)
you would have once
it was for a olde quake mod that was to be professionally published....however the voice over stuff did get used in Battlecruiser Millennium.

I have the songs on mp3 somewhere.
(I helped save b3ta! Tyronne Get To Falkirk, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:58, archived)
jus' kiddin'
i don't actually want to shoot you
that's pretty cool though. i wouldn't like to do VO stuff due to having a quite offensively dull voice

I did a voice for a game a while ago.
It was a very low budget PC detective game. My character had a bomb in his goatee apparantly. I got a free copy of the game but never got as far as my character's scene. It was low budget for a reason.

Ah, the ol' "it's who you know" schtick, huh?
Well, still, any advice for an eager budding voice actor like me?
(I helped save b3ta! Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:52, archived)
I'm not in a position to listen to that right now.
And in general, no I don't.
As I said, this isn't something I do a huge amount of.
The only thing I can say is general actor advice; be as helpful as possible, and remember that your opinions don't count, you've been hired to do what the director says, not to think.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:55, archived)
Righto then.
Ta.
(I helped save b3ta! Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:57, archived)
Also remember that agencies for VO work get more demos than they know what to do with.
Many agencies admit that if you send them a demo it'll take over a year before they'll get round to hearing it.

That's not actually how the warning calls worked. It used to go as follows.
This is the [AREA] brigade of the Provisional IRA.
The codeword is [CODEWORD]
A bomb has been placed at [LOCATION] and will detonate at [Time]

And then they get the fucking time and place wrong.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:52, archived)
ah, so that's where they went wrong
using "codeword" as your codeword. That's schoolboy, frankly.
