VO-BB - 19 YEARS OLD!

Philip Banks

"Well" said the fat, bald man "I'll see if I am able to hit the spot".

The producer lavished plenty of tender loving care on the final mix ........ http://thecorporatevoice.com/compelling.mp3

I shall use this to frighten bad payers.

Your turn to post your "I was obviously having a good day" audio clips.

Banksey, you killed it!

Reminds me of an NFL Films VO: "In the playoffs, the Patriots rose like a Phoenix from the ashes......"

Care to tell where the music came from?

Wicked smooth.

Here is something really stupid I did for a college marketing class I was in many many years ago.....you could tell I was a budding VO nerd when I was incorporating it into class projects for no apparent reason at all....well, let's say nobody else brought in a boom box and played an annoying commercial.

I laugh hard at this one....I ripped it off in one take and did no edits....the script I wrote was rotten and my buddy agreed to be in it too......great actors huh? What the heck are all those voices in the background I was doing? What a goon I was back then.

Here it is. Talk about off day:
The Game

That worked well Ben. It would put a lot of radio creatives to shame.

The music on my audio I believe is a rework of Carl Orff's "O Fortuna".

Thanks Banksey! I consider that high praise from someone of your status for sure.

The people in the class at the time were all "what the....". It was funny looking back and remembering it now.....I had architectural plans for this place my buddy drew up (cause he liked the idea). It was the best example of "overkill". I did get an A o the project though.

Banksey - your spot needs a bit of compression to really stand out. Maybe some music with more power would help....heh, heh, heh......

Ben - I've heard some stuff that people were quite proud of but wouldn't compare well with yours.

Re: Ben's commercial--

Dylan said "It sounds like something you'd hear on the radio in Grand Theft Auto."

He's right! It would fit right in GTA, lol. Right next to that "Would you like a kitten" commercial in 3 I think it is.
