I've got a couple of recent clips I really love that should be available in about a month or two. What should get the axe when those come in? Thanks!

All good stuff, but I would drop the first 2 spots.

In the first spot, the "d" is missing in the word, "world". The second spot is kind of bland, especially compared with the rest of the spots (which sound great).

Looking forward hearing the new demo already !

Thanks FinnMac! That's exactly what I need to hear.

Here's a new version.
http://lanceblairvo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Commercial-VO-Lance-Blair-2.mp3

The 'D' in world is back.
The second clip is dropped.
The order is changed a bit.
I noticed that there was a big click in "behind" on the student clip, so that's fixed too.

I'll tighten up the edits more when I get the next clip I want to add. There should be room for one more 7 second clip, or two more clips if I cut a few phrases here and there.

Thanks!

Well done! The fixes worked and IMHO this version of the demo rocks! Laugh

Only one tiny place to do some nit picking. In spot no. 4 you say the word "Problem" twice. The first time it sounds like "probem", the second time it sounds correct.

If I can get a demo to sound this good I would be overjoyed!

Hi. Thanks!

You're right that I swallowed the L in the first problem, and that's intentional. I checked the raw session file for that client, and it doesn't sound very noticeable there, but it does with the mix from the video clip. There's a big tom hit right when I do that which makes the PROBLEM worse. Smile

Since that can be off putting in a demo context, I will see about taking a different section from that video.

Thanks again!
