VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Philip Banks · Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:19 pm Post subject: Attach a phrase to a VO

I was talking to a TV commercial producer in New York last week and he had a sound in his head, it was the sound of a particular type of FVO.

"What's she most likely to say?" I asked.

"You mean in the commercial" He replied a little puzzled.

"No. Don't think about it, just hear her say something..ANYTHING"

"SO bite me!" he snapped.

"Pam Tierney - The female voice you're looking for is Pam Tierney"

"I'm gonna cast all my commercials that way from now on, cool! Thanks"

If Pam got the call Lee steered the client away from an MVO.

Now it's your turn. Sorry but this isn't about you or a stock voice description. Attached (associate) a phrase with a VO you know, a phrase that would help them nail a job or at the very least put them in the radar of a producer or casting director.

It's not about a personality fit. It's about a sound fit.

A producer or casting director is unlikely to have spent any time at all with a VO and as such has no opinion as to who they are or what they a likely to say.

Really? Gimme a break - does my 'tude show that much ? lol!

Actually, with Philips clarification I can SO hear Pam saying that. I can also hear her saying "You are SO busted".

I suppose this one is rather obvious:

Diane, I'm not exactly sure, but in my head is the voice of Wayne from Wayne's world or a skater/surfer saying, "as if" in their own very special way.

But I've been way off the mark before, so... there ya go...
