VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

[Philip Banks]

Some time ago I used the term Voiceoverist, it made me smile. Today I read this headline.

I hate it when that happens.

That's why you've got to secure the rights on those smartly devised words and ideas.

Acoustics are counter-intuitive. If one thing is certain about acoustics, it is that if anything seems obvious it is probably wrong.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

It's Taji!

It's an accolade you, you, certainly.

Hey, what's-his-face, the slickback haired basketball coach for the LA Lakers all those years ago tried to trademark the term "threepeat" because his team won the NBA championship three years in a row....all for himself.

I guess anything's possible.

All that aside, it's a lovely term, Philip, and I'm just sorry I didn't think of it first.

It still would have been nice to give Philip a 'kudu' after the first reference to Voiceoverist on page 5.

Philip's first mention of the words Voice Overist was on Wed Feb 04, 2009 3:53 pm.

Congratulations to Philip for coining a word in the English language. Only 19,999 to go to catch Wm. Shakespeare.

it's an e-book - quite easy to update with an acknowledgment, right?

I'll sue! What do we think, open at $1.2 billion and settle out of court for 28 cents ?

Should anyone else on this board do it without the courtesy of a full nine page acknowledgement I'll just give them a good hard thump. Luckily, no one would.

Me and Alan Freed, trendsetters! I now have to get embroiled in some sort of scandal, ideally in LA next week and die 7 years ago aged 43.

I have been working on a new term myself....instead of saying you had good times....just shorten it to GT's. Please help me in my quest. It's a legacy I must fulfill.

I hereby claim this one:

"Voiceover-er"

[mstaji]

Seriously... I'd sue the guy... how dare he... um... er... use the term ... and help propagate it!

but actually... I do acknowledge Philip's coining the phrase on page 78 in the copyright's section.

I tried The Modern Voiceover Talent's guide... but it didn't flow as well as voiceoverist.

Plus you can't have a title that is a tribute to Douglas Adams without adding a little philip banks in to make it more surreal!

The answer to the question every Voiceoverist asks is 47.

Any Voiceoverist needing work today must use the "26 Bluebird" method.
