VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I recently realized how much corporate video there is out on YouTube with my voice on it...so, I made my new corporate demo from the audio of them. It was a little tricky to put them together since they all had very different post work (man, some of them were qqqqqqquiet). Your thoughts as always are appreciated and I look forward to your criticism/feedback.

Wow, Lance...really, REALLY nice!

That demo's right in the pocket, and you're clearly really comfortable with that type of read.

But there's one obvious, GLARING omission of something I'd expect to find on a corporate video demo these days: the pictures.

And forgive me if this is already in the works, but why not create a video demo of your corporate video work?

Great stuff, Lance.... and Doug's right, you are a natural for that kind of project. As for his other point.... why not? It would give it extra sizzle.

Thanks guys!

I'm going to make the video edit of this (or close to it) as well. There were some clips I wanted to use that I really liked better, but they had sfx that were very odd without the visuals.

For a video version, do you think I can go 1:30 or 2:00, or should I stick to 1:00?

The free YouTube ripper a Hobo Tounge

for Windows8 was so good and easy to use for this. And yes, I have permission to use these clips for my own demos. Smile

You'd be hard pressed to find someone to sit through anything longer than a minute. But play away and you can always ask for critique later!

OK. Edited a VO corporate reel at my YouTube channel here: http://youtu.be/7TRTo-ojhRE It's mercifully one minute long, and with different clips (except for two are the same) per Mandy's advice. You can also access it on my homepage at http://lanceblairvo.com

Cheers!
