VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Philip Banks

My new agent loves this ....

I, myself, personally believe it to be a thing of beauty and oh how it adds to my greatness.

I agree with your new agent.

I liked Hostel but loved Saw too! Wink

Ok, that's a minor fib.

Very nice and creepy. You do horror well. Or as you Brits would say "Not bad".

(Ya know... Sam didn't use VO in the trailer - and as much as I hate, hate, hate, to say it .... it didn't need it.)

Thank you Mam.

Both examples are real trailers not mock ones (cut down as my agent didn't want everything). The latter for the Sam Raimi film was also aired on TV in the UK and across Europe. I like the full theatrical version with no VO. I did a 60, a 30 plus a 10 second cut down because they were sponsoring something on a TV station. More importantly, they paid me on Tuesday. It hit the cinemas here yesterday.

I'm a goldmine of useless information.

It sounded great to me.

Now if I could just find where my dog is hiding.

Not useless info at all. I didn't realize a different version with VO - yours in particular - was running overseas.
Spoke too soon.

Effectively creepy!

I can't get my hair to stop standing up on end... Gasp

Where will you keep all new sacks of cash? A new wee huttie warehouse addition should be planned immediately!

Sufficiently goose-bumped. Nice!

PS. Is the de-Britter filter hardware or software based?

Babelfish Accentizer 2.0

If you enter "Reserved and awkward" the default setting sounds like a 12 year old Etonian.

For my movie trail sound I went for - Chain smoking Brentwood Jewish matriarch with a 4 octave pitch shift and turned the rumble filter off.

I only have the Babelfish Accentizer 0.3(beta).

Every time I try and dial-in an American accent it gives me vowels from Brooklyn, consonants (or lack thereof) from California and clipped delivery from Boston. (sort of a Stoner Guido Kennedy thing)

I think I need an upgrade before I can even make an attempt at competing with this fine rendition.
