I was going to hold my nose because of the smell, but then again, the woman doing the intro HAD to be holding hers too.

Ugggggh. Sorry folks, but that is a good example of a poor representation of the VO business.

".....voice overs and videos starting at twenty dollars."

I wonder if, for another twenty, you get audio out of BOTH channels!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGG!!!

I skipped the intro and went right for the Pfizer narration. Not even as good as the kid with the lisp at my local McDonald's Drive-Thru.

She at least had the good sense not to put her name on the site.

Ewwwww.

Oh gross. Really?? REALLY? That intro sounded like crap in a few different ways. Shocker.

I'm going back to look around more... it's like a train wreck. The price list... *shudder*

K I'm out. Can't take it anymore after listening to some of the "demos".

Seems like it's just one or two "talent".

And you can design your own web site for free. Now how can one go wrong???

YIKES. I didn't know I could make a professional voiceover using a cell phone with a bad connection but based on her sound I guess I shouldn't have bought gear after all.

Yikes! I didn't even look at the price list, but I don't think I have the stomach to go back and look now.

But please... someone tell me that she somehow found the copy for the Pfizer piece somewhere (or wrote it with crayon herself). I need to know that Pfizer didn't actually pay for what I heard.

But is this not the best example of 'Don't quit your day job' we've ever seen?

I was interested in that script, too. I do a lot of work for Pfizer. And I'm thinking I could phone 'em in from now on.

what I want to know is how she got a mono Right channel sound with phase problems...

That's cool, (in a wow that sucked so bad it must be cool kind of way)

But, if she's makin' money, more power to her.
